The Story Behind the Mission
The Cornerstone to Wellness Creation & About Melissa
Why "The Cornerstone"
The Cornerstone to Wellness, founded in 2023, was inspired by the cornerstone in masonry—the first stone laid in a foundation, guiding the placement of all others. Just as the cornerstone provides strength and direction, TCW offers a solid base for your journey into holistic living.
​
Here, the Cornerstone Community becomes a place to return to for grounding and growth: wellness workshops, moon gatherings, Reiki and sound healing, community collaborations, personalized coaching, and nourishing resources that honor both body and spirit.
​
Our Core Cornerstones
JOY - Celebrate the small moments and the big milestones; joy is medicine for the soul.
BALANCE - Cultivate harmony through practice, patience, and connection to nature’s rhythms.
COMMUNITY - Root yourself in relationships that uplift and remind you that you are not alone.
RESILIENCY - Embrace new ideas and opportunities as pathways for growth, transformation, and renewal.
About
Melissa's Journey
IIN Health Coach, Reiki Practitioner
Melissa Robichaux’s path is a testament to dedication, resilience, and the desire to make a positive impact on the world. Beginning her adult life in the United States Army National Guard, she cultivated discipline, work ethic, and leadership skills that became the cornerstone of her future endeavors.
​
Transitioning into a professional career in recreational therapy, Melissa devoted herself to caring for seniors, individuals with dementia, and those with cognitive developmental disabilities. This work revealed her innate compassion and unwavering commitment to service, while deepening her understanding of the healing power of connection.
​
Her journey then expanded into holistic wellness, where she discovered the profound integration of mind, body, and spirit. Earning her coaching certificate from The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, Melissa gained the tools to guide others toward healthier, more fulfilling lives. For the past three years, she has also practiced Reiki, offering energy healing that complements her coaching and therapeutic work, helping individuals restore balance and vitality.
​
Furthering her passion for food and community, Melissa’s work at a food co-op deepens her commitment to sustainability, shared values, and nourishment as medicine.
​
Today, Melissa continues to blend her diverse experiences into a holistic approach that empowers others. Her journey embodies the belief that true wellness is built on a strong foundation of balance, compassion, and connection.
