Who We Are

Thank you for visiting us, we are really honoured and humbled to be bringing the soul medicine of the Water Rose in. It is a total gift that has been channelled by White Feathers Woman from the water spirits in the sea.

Water Rose Priestess is a part of Pathway teaching - Healing for the Heart and Soul with Melanie O’Halloran-Gomes (White Feathers Woman) and Paul O’Halloran (Grey Elk) and was set up to honour the gift of the water rose.

Melanie grew up in Co. Down, Northern Ireland and trained as a marine conservation biologist and spent around 20 years working in different marine fields such as underwater survey in temporal and tropical habitats, Governmental and Non-Governmental marine conservation jobs, including being a whale shark spotter/swimmer where Melanie swam up to the whale shark off Ningaloo reef, Western Australia to check it was a whale shark and not a tiger shark before the tourists were allowed in!

Melanie is a Scuba Dive Instructor (BSAC), has the yachtmaster (theory) and Day Skipper (Practical) with the RYA, and has experience free diving surfing, wind surfing and mostly spends as much time as possible snorkeling and connecting with the underwater sea life. All these years under the sea is what gave Melanie a connection to the sea and the Mer People that can only be earnt by being in their element.

Melanie went through 3 water initiations that could have ended in disaster but the presence of Spirit made itself known and guided Melanie back into safety. This beautiful all knowing deep peace, love and oneness is the essence of the water rose.

Melanie is a fully initiated Medicine Woman through Grey Elk and his teacher Zanemvula (Xhosa lineage). Melanie also has the Matsés lineage through her teacher Omar Gomez and the kambo practitioners training with Certified Kambo Practitioners International (CKPI). She is also an Ambassador (one of the original 7) and a Guardian of Rahanni Celestial Healing as well as a Moon Mother®. Melanie trained as a Rose Priestess with Melissa Astara Rose from the Magdalene Rose Temple and runs rose workshops and one to one rose initiations.

Melanie received her name “White Feathers Woman” from a Cree Grandmother during a pipe ceremony. It took Melanie completely by surprise that she had a spiritual name and feels it is such an honour to have been given this name.

It was the water spirits that told Melanie to work under “water rose priestess” and to set this up for the water rose. All our other work can be found on www.pathwayteaching.com thank you for visiting! Aho.
