Lenell Levy Melancon is a Reiki Master, Tai Chi/Qigong instructor, Sacred Heart Yoga teacher, artist, actress, author, and most importantly, mother. After a near-death experience in which she had to save her own life, Lenell realized her heart’s true purpose in this lifetime is to empower others to take responsibility for their own health and well-being in order to live in joy and freedom from emotional as well as physical pain.

Lenell is a graduate of Southeastern Louisiana University. Over the past twenty-five years, she has attended numerous lectures and seminars throughout the United States on holistic healing modalities including the Emotional Freedom Technique, Pineal Toning, Vibrational Medicine, and Education for Living (RP131) to name a few. She has taught “Passionate Awakening” workshops and intuition development classes in and around Baton Rouge and south Louisiana for the past six years.

Tootles the Turtle Tells the Truth is Lenell’s first book in a series dedicated solely to empowering children.
