Melissa
Toni

My name is Melissa Rae Toni, and I am an author/advocate in the world of holistic healing. As a woman who both studied psychology and personally felt the effects of the cold labeling system at large, I set out on a mission at age twenty-six to understand my wounds and heal, rather than accept the condition bipolar. Now, seven years later, I believe everyone has the power to unburden themselves from labels and get to the root of the lies surrounding and trauma wounds within. I believe everyone has the power to overcome the broken health system and heal.

​

My memoir, Somewhere in the Middle, is the story of my personal journey from traumatized label-acceptance and psychiatric pills to exhilarating, challenging, and overall rewarding self-discovery through holistic healing. As many of my issues stemmed from a lack of self-love and self-confidence, my story is about finding home within myself and shining light on the truth. Through a variety of holistic healing methods, a newfound spirituality, as well as a creative rock project, I emerge renewed to discover that I am my own hero.

 

Currently, this memoir is not available for purchase, but it will be rereleased Summer 2026, along with my two upcoming books Real World Healing (Summer 2025) and Somewhere Out There (Summer 2026)
