About The Author

Mel Brown

Melinda Brown is a Ngunnawal woman residing in the Northern Rivers Bundjalung Nation. She holds a Master’s degree in Indigenous Healing and Trauma. Mel embraced her clairvoyant abilities many years ago, embarking on a journey to understand that her spiritual beliefs extended beyond her Aboriginal culture to encompass diverse beliefs from around the world.

Mel uniquely emphasizes that spirituality is individually owned, not defined by labels or confined to a single understanding of life and creation. She believes that as human beings, our spiritual needs are often best met through a variety of belief systems.

As a professional Speaker and Trainer, Mel is recognized for her expertise in Aboriginal cultural competency and lateral violence, both nationally and internationally.

Mel’s work in service provision for Aboriginal families has been highly acclaimed. She was awarded an ACT Public Service Award for the “Most Improved Services to Aboriginal Children and Families in the ACT” by the ACT Chief Minister. In 2011, NSW Industry & Investment recognized Mel as one of the top three Aboriginal businesswomen in NSW.
