Meet The Women Behind Moselle

Moselle Boutique was founded by Melinda on the Big Island of Hawai‘i. Over time, it has blossomed into an inspired collaboration of women—family and long-time friends—united by a shared intention: to nourish our water and yours.

Together, we bring decades of lived experience from the school of life, enriched by a diverse range of wellness, lifestyle, and spiritual practices. Among these are the study of the Taoist Water Path, water-based healing modalities, nature-centered health practices, food as medicine, herbology, and essential oil therapies.

We thoughtfully weave our knowledge and experience to create unique offerings designed to support you in nourishing your water.

Melinda Sue

Founder

Melinda has cultivated her tenure in the school of life. She has a passion for synthesizing higher truth, optimizing human potential, and supporting others to overcome their challenges and embody their gifts.

With a 25-year history in the health, wellness, and environmental fields, Melinda intimately understands the interconnection between the health of our bodies, our environment, and our mental, emotional and spiritual state of being. She has a BSE in Environmental Engineering with a focus on sustainable systems and green building. She is a lover of the Taoist water path and has studied with several qigong masters. She spent 15 years as a massage therapist and wellness coach and is a Gene Keys Guide and nature lover. With a strong collaborative nature, she co-created 2 retreat centers with a focus on holistic living and co-founded a botanical wellness company.

As a long-time student of metaphysics, she is dedicated to walking a path of deep awareness, expanded perspective, and personal integrity. Her journey is infused with light-hearted humor and a constant desire to spiral things up. She is ever enthusiastic about creating beautiful spaces, synergizing projects and groups, and inspiring others to their highest potential through playful engagement, deep listening, and at times comic relief. Moselle is her vision for a Way of Water™ experience that will nourish and uplift the women who find it and the communities they touch.

Janice Anne

For over 20 years, Janice has studied different types of healing & energetic modalities, having explored various styles of meditation, qigong, neigong & yoga. Since 2008, her focus has been learning root & alchemical practices of healing and self awakening from ancient traditions, specifically the Water Path practice called the KUNLUN System, directly with her teachers Mugen Roshi & Dao Shi of Primordial Alchemist. The Taoist Arts are her focal point for which most of her knowledge & wisdom stems from, cultivating & embodying practices of living simply and in deep connection to nature. This includes 14 years of learning the skillful art of tea making called Gongfu Tea (traditionally & alchemically).

 

Creative in nature, Janice has a background in art & music and attended Westfield State University in Massachusetts. She is a Nature Therapy Guide and a certified Mindful Outdoor Leader through the Kripula School. She maintains her studies and practices in meditation, qigong, natural medicine, Taoism & Shamanism. As an avid nature enthusiast, she loves hiking, kayaking, camping, traveling, solo adventuring & gardening.

 

Janice has a deep desire to help reconnect humans with nature. Her passion to bridge the two together can be experienced through her Meditation offerings, Nature Immersions, Tea Ceremonies and can be seen through the lens of her photography & videography and read within her storytelling/writing.

Kendra Fowler

Apprentice & Team Support

Kendra is cultivating herself in the school of life. She has a passion for learning from others and exploring her human potential. Her curiosity for life led her to travel the world for 14 months before landing in the San Juan islands where she currently resides surrounded by water and marine life. Her travels took her to Peru, Europe, around the Mediterranean, to India, and Southeast Asia. She experienced a Vipassana meditation retreat in Thailand, water rituals in Bali and immersed herself in the local culture along the beaches in Sri Lanka where the blue lotus is the national flower.

She has a love for the water in all its forms. And she has a love for its creatures including whales and dolphins. Apprenticing with the Moselle team is deepening her skills, understanding and experience with the Way of Water and she is learning a more feminine way of engaging in the world of business.

Audrey Gaedtke

WHAT IS GONGFU TEA?

“Gongfu Tea” means making tea with skill. A time honored tradition and practice that requires a certain level of effort, dedication, passion and humility by the person who is pouring the tea. After many years of practice, the tea master cultivates a deep connection to the tea leaves & tea ware. It is from this connection that the greatest gifts of the ritual and ceremony can be exchanged between the person pouring and those receiving.
