Melinda Palomino

The heartbeat of Lasenda's spiritual odyssey

As the founder and spiritual architect of Lasenda, Melinda Palomino stands as its guiding light. A shamanic practitioner and kundalini activation practitioner, her path into spiritual work is grounded in both lived experience and rigorous practice. Years spent navigating the high-stakes world of Fortune 500 companies refined her strategic thinking and resilience, but it was a personal health reckoning that redirected her toward a life devoted to healing, presence, and inner alignment.

At the retreats, Melinda is more than a host. She leads the creation and curation of each immersive experience, weaving together structure and intuition so that every moment feels considered. As a guide, healer, and mentor, she holds space for guests to move beyond surface-level wellness and into deeper self-inquiry, while still feeling safe, supported, and seen.

Her work with sound therapy and hang instruments forms a central pillar of the Lasenda experience. Melinda’s sound baths are designed as immersive journeys; where frequency, stillness, and vibration invite the nervous system to soften and the mind to quiet. Each session is crafted to help guests access inner harmony, emotional release, and a renewed sense of clarity.

Melinda’s corporate acumen and spiritual depth meet in a holistic approach that speaks especially to ambitious, growth-oriented individuals. She has carefully assembled a team of seasoned practitioners, each an expert in their field, to bring Lasenda’s mission to life. Together, they co-create retreats that are both refined and deeply transformative; experiences where luxury, intention, and genuine energetic work coexist.
