Instructor Bio:

I'm Rev. Pamela "Mela" Borawski, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist). I'm an ordained pagan minister, and have followed an earth-centered spiritual path for over 20 years. I created 3 Rays of Light LLC after my graduation as an integrative healing arts practitioner, and I focus on healing the mind, body and spirit using various healing modalities including hypnosis. I've been teaching in the community and overseas for 35+ years (since I was a teen!), and teaching is my passion. I'm 51 years old, married, and have two adult children. We are creating our own little homestead in the country. I am the Pagan Faith Representative on the State Board for IPSC (Interfaith Partners of SC) and am currently working on building a spiritual nonprofit organization, Greenwild Spiritual Foundation.
