MELISSA PAS BLAKE is a Mindset Coach, Changemaker, and the owner of Pasitive Solutions. Melissa facilitates transformation for anyone ready to make lasting changes in their lives. The tools and techniques are powerful and efficient, and her clients find it fascinating and liberating to unlock greater confidence, happiness, and clarity in all areas of their life. Melissa is a Clinical Hypnotherapist and uses Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) and Hearthealing®. She is also proud to be a contributor to the book When Women Heal.

How do you impact your clients?

I bring positive energy, comfort, and healing to all aspects of a client’s life. I help clients live to their potential, teach them the power of the mind, and support them to cultivate a healthier relationship with themselves. I help people achieve freedom from anxiety, self-sabotage, weight issues, addictions, and issues related to trauma.

What are your greatest wins?

I have worked to heal myself and there is a ripple effect that has healed my family and my loved ones.

What is your best networking advice?

Your smile is your logo; your personality is your business card; the way you make others feel is your trademark.

What advice has impacted your life?

When I was young, my father said to me ‘you control your life, your life doesn’t control you.’ What I took from that was, what happens to you does not have to define you. As a teenager, I was struggling with a lot of insecurities; my mother passed away when I was six and I was dealing with my father, who was still in the closet because it was 1979. These simple words helped me then and are words that I share with my clients to this day.

What advice would you give to future Power Women?

My advice to everyone is to take action! You can’t get to the change you want without first deciding to make that change.
