Before there was healing...
there was survival.

I'm honored you're here.

Welcome, I'm Melissa Stuckey, creator of Where Healing Began.

My story includes childhood trauma, addiction, incarceration, grief, and years of surviving what I never chose.

By God's grace, I discovered that healing isn't pretending the pain never happened.

Healing begins the moment we stop hiding.

Today I share my story through my podcast, devotionals, and soon, my memoir, with one prayer.

That no one has to walk this journey alone.

"If my story helps one person believe healing is possible, then every chapter was worth surviving.

This is my story.

With Love,

Melissa Stuckey
