Hide AdDue to Covid-19 Mel cannot see her clients in person at the moment so she has turned her attention to selling crystals.
She began by making small packages called ‘Mels happy mail’ that contained four of five crystals.
After selling 200 in the first few weeks of lockdown she decided to take a risk and set up her own little shop in her home.
Mel said: “Even though I can still do some therapy sessions through Zoom it’s not the same.

“Selling the crystals means I have time to be there for my mother but I can still make an income.”
Mel believes that there has been an increase in interest surrounding holistic therapies and crystals in recent months as many people have had more time to reflect on their lifestyles.
