Honeydew Holistics!

Hello World, 

I recently had the pleasure of introducing Alicia Hudson, owner of Honeydew Holistics, for a women's history month event at Borough of Manhattan Community College. Ms. Hudson gave a very informative presentation on womb wellness, to a diverse audience that continued to want more!

I followed up by booking a Yoni Steaming, the main service provided at her new shop located in DUMBO (Down Under The Manhattan Bridge Overpass) at 53 Bridge St. in Brooklyn, NY. -A little bit of history: The neighborhoods of DUMBO and Vinegar Hill (named differently in the 1800's) housed a  free black community. Brooklyn's anti-slavery movement began in 1810 and there were black-owned businesses in this very area. 

Yours truly, Melanie on site. 53 Bridge St.


Ms. Hudson referenced that Essence Magazine had an event in the area some time ago which introduced her to the community. She loves her magazines as they've been the source of much inspiration in her life and business. It was a
fter reading popular magazines highlighting her favorite celebrities back in the day that she learned of  healthy lifestyle changes.

She became a vegetarian at 15 years old, yet it was in college that Ms. Hudson learned much more and shares via website, "Finding ways to budget while in college forced me to become creative with my food. There were very few vegan restaurants back then and health food stores were super expensive. It was during that time that I discovered farmer’s markets and food co-ops that allowed my dollar to stretch without compromising on quality."

By the time Ms. Hudson was pregnant, she chose natural childbirth. As a mom she'd want to provide the same in home experience for more women. She then became a Womb Wellness & IIN Holistic Health Coach, Full Spectrum Doula, Certified Yoni Steam Practitioner, & Queen Afua Trained Sacred Woman. "A woman’s womb creates life, nurtures and manifests her dreams and is the source of her creativity. The womb is a powerful energy center. It is a physical and energetic portal to the world. It is where our life force is generated."- Alicia Hudson.

If you read the last post you're aware of my new found experiences in womb wellness. It's powerful! - I asked my gynecologist how she felt about yoni steaming and she candidly shared it's just something to get people to spend money; Yet Maria Chow of Birthsong Botanicals Co. discusses in great detail more of the sacred origin and benefits on her site here

Ms. Hudson worked for New York University in addition to having all of the amazing credentials listed above. She retired recently after 14 years, during the uncertainties of the covid 19 pandemic to pursue her dream. The grand opening for her shop took place just this past April 2021.

My Yoni Steam experience at Honeydew Holistics was special. I pulled back the curtain to enter my session and a wall of beautiful flowers greeted me. I changed into a pink silk robe, and had my own time of meditation and prayer, as I sat down on the gold throne.

Our yoni is our first home. It's a beautiful experience when we give it the special attention it deserves.

Get UP! Stand UP! DANCE!!!!

My name is Melanie Shaleya Lewis and I am the founder of ThresholdWorld. This blog was started out of my personal perseverance to make a change in my life for others. I faithfully danced in the height of my unpaid work, while personal circumstances challenged me. I became inspired by a word gift from above and acted on it! Hence today! -You are reading, I am writing and experiencing what I never thought or imagined. That's a quick recap of this blogs beginning. You can view the very first post from December 2009 in the archives. My passion to serve comes from my father Jesus Christ who died for the world to be free from a life of mess and continuance of it after death. Take it or leave it for what that means for you. Transformational thinking, living, and speaking will determine your fate; I pray you choose a positive threshold in your personal world. ThresholdWorld is a space to learn ideas, information and inspiration to spur your life into transformative action! I write of...

Blessed by Nature!

Today I went to my favorite spot in the world thus far. The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens has always been my best place to think, dream, and plan. I like this picture as it captures me in the moment. Soaking it all in. The beauty surrounds me. I love it! I am greatful to have such a lovely place as this garden in my community. View www.bbg.org for yourself and visit a garden in your community. If none, build it and they will come. :) Escape for a moment. Be blessed by nature!
