Who We Are & What We Do
At Spirit Drums, Mark and Melanie have crafted a holistic and integrative wellness experience. Both are deeply passionate about creating something new from something old. Mark's passion is expressed through a divinely guided creation process with each unique Spirit Drum he produces. Melanie's passion shines through her trauma stabilization practices and repair work, which intentionally use the old to empower the new.
Mark’s creation of Spirit Drums—a steel tongue drum tuned to 432Hz—was inspired by life-altering Shamanic experiences nearly 10 years ago. This profound journey sparked his need to express these experiences outwardly. His passion for percussion instruments expanded into a love for creating musical instruments as a whole. Through the Spirit Drums, Mark has helped many others in their reclamation of self and the ongoing pursuit of deeper healing, both individually and collectively.
Melanie’s dedication to healing stems from her own reclamation and repair work over the past 20+ years. With a background that includes over a decade in health care and a transition into social work, she has specialized in domestic anti-human trafficking and child sexual exploitation initiatives at local, regional, provincial, and national levels. Currently, Melanie is the Executive Director of a Survivor-led anti-trafficking organization, Bridging Gaps AHT.
Melanie brings an integrative approach to the stabilization and recovery process, utilizing energy modalities, aromatherapy, somatic practices, and land-based experiences. These methods help reset the mind, body, and soul, fostering a homeostatic state of balance and well-being.
