About Me

Hello, I’m Melissa Jacobs, and like many, I’ve spent a lot of my life searching for purpose and meaning. There have been seasons of success and moments of defeat, and times when I felt completely lost as life continued to shift and change.

​

At the heart of it all, one thing has remained constant, my love for wellness, and the belief that true healing begins when we reconnect with ourselves. I’ve come to see that wellness isn’t about doing more or fixing ourselves... it’s about creating space to listen, to breathe, and to come home to who we truly are beneath the expectations of the world.

​

My own path to this work wasn’t linear. I spent many years in human services, advocating for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, and working with youth in foster care. It was deeply meaningful work, but over time I found myself burnt out and disconnected from my own well-being.

​

With my first pregnancy, I dove into holistic health and became a certified health coach. What started as a way to help myself and eventually my family turned into a passion for understanding how our emotions, energy, and physical bodies are all connected. Over the years, that curiosity has led me to study and practice a wide range of modalities, including Reiki, Conscious Connected Breathwork, Somatic Practices, Meditation, Movement, and The Emotion Code®.

​

Each of these tools has been part of my own healing journey, from helping me reduce inflammation and stress, to supporting emotional release and even finding some relief to the chronic migraines I've carried since middle school. Though I do want to state here that even with the tools and the practice, none of this looks perfect- life is hard, things come up, and I'm still focused on growth. I don't believe it will ever look or feel "perfect", and if it were, that would likely get boring real fast, so let's enjoy the journey a bit.​

​

It’s my belief that healing is not about becoming someone new but remembering who you’ve always been.

Who Is This For?

I work with adults who feel weighed down by stress, overwhelm, burnout, or that lingering sense of being stuck.

​

The ones who set goals again and again yet find themselves falling short or unable to stay on track.

The ones who are tired of holding back because of old stories and fears, and who are ready to transform!

​

I work with people who crave change and are ready to make the most of their lives, step fully into their passions and purpose, and finally experience the freedom and empowerment they’ve been craving.

What's In A Name?

For me, Harvesting Sage is about gathering wisdom and nurturing whole-body wellness. It reflects my love of gardening, homesteading, and cooking, while also honoring sage as both an herb, a color and a symbol long associated with prosperity, abundance, insight, healing, and health.

​

In many ways, it mirrors my approach of weaving together mind, body, and energy into one grounded, intentional practice.
