Hi, I’m
Melodi Kitzmiller
If you've been hurt by a church that claimed to love Jesus but left you feeling broken, you're not alone.
And you don’t have to heal alone.
I am a faith-based trauma recovery coach and trauma-informed faith mentor. I help Christian women heal from spiritual abuse, religious trauma, and church hurt through compassionate, biblically rooted support.
Thank you for visiting my website.
It was in my early forties, just after my husband had died, that men in my church began to pressure me to do what they deemed best for my family. The pressure on top of losing my husband became unbearable, and I had no choice but to leave my church due to manipulation and control.

I am passionate about helping women who have been hurt in church or spiritually. I want to help them to live free from anxiety, depression, and the deep pain of spiritual harm.
Because of this I create free resources to help women who are in spiritually manipulative, controlling or hurtful places.
