I am very grateful to Missy for guiding me through the release of my trapped emotions with dedication and empathy. She was able to pinpoint long-repressed emotions tied to childhood, young adulthood, and more recent traumas and experiences. She took the time to discuss with me potential root causes and help me better understand how my past impacts my present. Thanks to her, I am on a path to healing.

Missy also diligently worked to release trapped emotions in my rescue dog, Dr. Yang. Doc came to us malnourished and with virtually no information about how she spent the first three years of her life.

Thanks to Missy, my husband and I have a better understanding of what she went through in her past and are better equipped to help her. Since working with Missy, Doc has been less anxious, and her relationship with her furry sister, Tuesday, has been improving.

Missy is an incredibly gifted, accurate, thorough, and overall amazing Emotion Code® Practitioner.

I experienced profound healing through my sessions with Missy. She took the time to provide detailed reports after each session, which I greatly appreciated.

I've explored a variety of healing modalities and am no stranger to The Emotion Code® or its practitioners. Based on my experience, I can confidently say that Missy is a truly gifted healer.

I did several sessions with Missy, including releasing my Heart-Wall®. She provides a safe environment to process the emotions that arise and gave me the time to discuss the memories that came up in relation to the emotions being released.

Some sessions brought up deeper emotions that took a little more time for me to process afterward, but I always felt supported throughout the experience.

I also really appreciated the detailed notes she sent after each session, along with ideas for self-care, which I found very helpful.

Overall, the experience has been beneficial and has helped me move on from certain chapters of my life while becoming more open to receiving joy.

As a veteran living with severe, complex PTSD and major depressive disorder, I was hesitant to try anything new. I’ve been through a lot, and talking through my trauma over and over has never been easy. Working with Missy at Release and Rise Wellness changed that completely.

Her Emotion Code® work allowed me to heal without having to explain or relive any of my past trauma. I simply gave her permission to work, and that was it. No reliving painful memories. No retelling the worst moments of my life. And yet the results have been profound. I began to feel lighter after carrying decades of emotional burdens.

All of our communication happened through email, which made the entire process even easier and more comfortable for me. After each session, she sent an extremely detailed, thorough report explaining exactly what she had done and what she found, so I always understood the work, even though I wasn’t there in person.

After nearly a decade of weekly talk therapy, these sessions became one of the most meaningful healing experiences I’ve had. My emotional regulation has improved tremendously, and I’ve found a sense of peace and enjoyment in life that I honestly thought was gone for good.

Missy’s approach gave me not only relief, but also a renewed sense of purpose. I can’t recommend her enough, especially for fellow veterans or anyone carrying trauma that feels too heavy to put into words.

I followed all of my midwife’s instructions, but nothing helped relieve my breast pain, clogged ducts, and inflammation. Starting at six weeks postpartum, Missy used The Emotion Code® to release trapped emotional energies contributing to the discomfort in my breasts. I found the visualizations and affirmations she provided especially helpful in reducing both my discomfort and the anxiety surrounding my condition. She helped me find relief after weeks of pain and suffering.

Over the course of several sessions, I began to notice a decrease in both the duration and severity of my breast inflammation and clogged ducts. At three months old, my baby was able to latch onto the breast without pain for the first time, and I was able to wean off the breast pump. I now exclusively breastfeed and no longer experience clogged ducts. Thanks to Missy, I've been able to better bond with my baby and fully enjoy this special time with her.

I found Missy to be both attentive and professional. She listened to my concerns and tailored our sessions to meet my needs while helping me navigate a highly sensitive time in my life. She always followed up and explained her findings after each session. I especially appreciated the detailed written reports she provided—they've allowed me to revisit what we covered whenever I've needed to.

I had four Emotion Code® sessions with Missy, and the experience was very positive.

Through our work together, I felt more at ease and experienced a greater sense of well-being. Missy worked on releasing emotions from my Heart-Wall®, and I found the process both interesting and worthwhile. She identified and released many trapped emotions related to major life changes and events, including loss, that I had been carrying for many years.

Throughout our sessions, Missy demonstrated skill, sensitivity, and professionalism. She was knowledgeable in her approach, and I felt confident, comfortable, and supported during each session.

I am grateful for the experience and would recommend her to anyone interested in exploring this type of emotional healing work.

Missy helped me tremendously. She helped release trapped emotions from my past that were contributing to my lower back pain.

Every session with Missy left me feeling relaxed and calm. I could feel the negative energy throughout my body lifting.

The sessions also brought up some past memories, and with Missy talking me through them and offering a prayer, I felt positive energy flow through my thoughts and body.

I highly recommend Missy to anyone struggling with stuck thoughts, difficult memories, or physical discomfort.

Since my sessions with Missy, my days, weeks, and months have been much more positive, and my lower back is no longer as painful as it used to be. Before my sessions, my pain was typically a 6–8 out of 10. Now it is consistently around a 1–2.

After four Emotion Code® sessions with Missy, I was genuinely surprised by how specific and personally meaningful the sessions felt. She identified trapped emotions related to grief, helplessness, self-worth, and pressure that resonated deeply with me. Some were connected to a recent major medical experience, while others were longstanding emotions I wasn't even aware I was still holding onto.

Missy handled all of it with so much care. She explained what came up without making it feel overwhelming, sent me thoughtful follow-up reports, and gave me practical ways to continue reflecting afterward, including my favorite part: affirmations I could incorporate into my daily routine.

After the sessions, I noticed I felt more tired than usual, which for me felt like a sign that my subconscious was doing some deep processing. By the following day, I felt noticeably lighter.

I came away feeling seen, supported, and more aware of the emotional weight underneath some of my long-standing patterns. For anyone curious about Emotion Code work, Missy creates a warm, compassionate, and safe space to explore your emotions.
