Powerful Self Healing in 5 Simple Steps - Self Help Course (Udemy.com)

Easy Self Help Steps & Actions Everyone Can Overlay On Their Existing Routine To Achieve Better Health & Happiness

Created by: Melissa Crowhurst

Last updated September 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 2,550 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in September 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a video companion to Melissa Crowhurst's short ebook, Powerful Self Healing in 5 Simple Steps. Across 20 lectures and 48 minutes, it walks through loving yourself, feeding your spirit, moving your body, resting your mind, and basic energy healing, plus a bundled ebook and a five-minute guided meditation. It is free, self-paced, and open to anyone: the syllabus itself says it is not meant to be an in-depth health course, just a nudge toward small changes.

Reviewers, and there are 2,550 of them with a 4.7 average, mostly describe it the same way: easy to follow, gentle, encouraging. Several single out Melissa's warm, calm voice and how relatable she comes across. A few notes of friction show up too. One reviewer found the visual presentation of the lectures, lighting and video effects, distracting rather than soothing. Another liked the content but felt the instructor occasionally talks down to the audience. A recurring, more practical gripe is loud ads dropped in before lessons, which reviewers are quick to note isn't Melissa's fault.

Given it costs nothing and takes less than an hour, the value case is easy. It sits alongside longer, more structured lifestyle picks like Ayurveda Basics and a diet-planning certificate course in our Lifestyle rankings, and it is the shortest, lightest option of that group by far. Treat it as a low-stakes starting point or refresher rather than a real program, and it delivers exactly what it promises.

Best forComplete beginners who want a quick, gentle nudge toward self-care, not a deep program.
Skip it ifYou want an in-depth, structured program with real accountability and follow-through.

Pros

  • Free, with no cost barrier to trying it
  • Under 50 minutes total, easy to finish in one sitting
  • Comes with a companion ebook and a 5-minute guided meditation
  • Reviewers consistently describe Melissa's teaching as warm and easy to follow

Cons

  • Very short and explicitly not in-depth, more overview than program
  • One reviewer found the video lighting and visual effects distracting
  • Pre-lecture ads outside the instructor's control bother some students
Loved this course. So well explained! So simple to incorporate into one's daily routine! Anyone and everyone can do this and help themselves in the process.
Paulette Schisan, a student

Listed as All Levels, but it's really built for total beginners with no prior healing or wellness background.

WHAT TO EXPECT

I wrote my short ebook, Powerful Self Healing in 5 Simple Steps in order to help remind others that achieving a happy and healthy life isn't as hard as we've come to believe. To make it even easier, I created this video-based version of the ebook to further emphasize the message and to lend a helping hand to those who are willing to take that first step - but aren't quite sure which one to take!

The chances are you've heard of some (if not all) of the steps, but weren't interested, never 'saw it through' or lacked the motivation to implement them into your life.  But now, with the information simplified down and explained in a way that can be easily integrated into your existing life - those 5 simple, yet different steps will - when combined - become a tour de force for your life.

I absolutely love the fact that you don't need any previous healing experience to learn these simple techniques and you don't need anymore time in your day - you just need the desire to improve, and the rest will be easy! What's more, this course is self-paced and completely digital, so you can go as slowly or as quickly as you like. 

Please note that this is not an intricately 'in-depth' course on health and happiness, it's a course to help open your eyes to see who you truly are and to remember that you do have the power to improve your life!


WHAT'S INCLUDED

The course covers loving yourself, taking care of your body, moving your body, resting your mind and self healing. Perhaps there's a little tip or suggestion somewhere in this course that can make all the difference in your life! And since this course is free, it's all upside for you my friend!

Once enrolled, just download the ebook, written by Melissa: Powerful Self Healing in 5 Simple Steps (PDF). The book is short and an easy read - so make sure you download it to reference offline or anytime you need!

What's more, I provide my 5 Minute Guided Meditation (via lecture) to help you relax in stressful times - when needed; as well as links to some of my blogs/podcasts which cover topics that can further assist you in your journey!

Once you've gone through all the lectures and completed any 'exercises' when prompted, you'll be able to see how easy it is to inject healthy improvements into your existing routine!  

Some of the additional benefits you may receive from taking this course include being able to finally love yourself for who you truly are, become more physically healthy, become more centred and calm, achieve an overall happier state of being which can attract abundance of all forms into your life - and much more! 

Enjoy the journey! #biglove

I think the information is good to hear, even if you know it, sometimes to hear it can set you forwards. sometimes the lecturer can seem to treat the audience as a child but her heart is in the right place and she captures the essence of the message very well on the most part. its important to try to keep moving forwards especially if you are struggling through life.

By Ahmet Yaşar Özer on 5/26/2022

Having completed many other healing and self-caring courses on other platforms, the first step (love your spirit and the mirror practice) taught by Melissa is just a niche! Genuinely deep, real and inpiring... Huge thanks Melissa, appreciate your efforts on this course.

By Rafail Karivalis on 5/7/2021

By Elizabeth MacKinnon on 11/10/2020

Melissa makes it very easy to slowly and gently incorporate healthy changes into one's daily routine. She reminds us of what many of us already know, but have been neglecting to do, which is to love and take care of ourselves, and the great importance in doing so. Thank you!

By Christina S. Gerard on 4/27/2020

Melissa Natural Healer course was exceptional! She really engages students in class and uses colorful visual images and her soothing tone and warm nature shown through course. Melissa offered little quiz through out the program which were helpful and reinforced key elements to add to your day consistently in small steps Also like the music and lovely artwork that she uses in course. She also provided us with info on other courses she teaches & her blog & fb.

By Sonia Dhaliwal on 3/6/2020

I really enjoyed taking this course. This was exactly what I needed. I stumbled across your Reiki's Masterclass, but also wound up on this when I was feeling quite negative in life. I really appreciate all the work you put into this thank you so much!

By Russell Cepelak on 12/31/2018

Thank you Melissa Crowhurst for a great, common sense course that all of us need. We all need to slow down and give ourselves a break and you explain why and how. By starting small, a little bit of time here and there, could bring a little bit of life to our life. Thank you again Melissa for that reminder.

By Regina Cieli Estrada on 11/6/2017

The online course content is very good. But the visual presentation of the instructor is creeping me out. Ghostly effects of vertigo motion and poor lighting. White background then the head part of the instructor is grayish. Dark circles in the eyes. She is talking about self healing and she looks sickly. Because of poor lighting. I'm distracted. Fuel for the body phrase sticks on my mind. What if I drink gasoline? The rēiki energy is presented in black screen tyndal effect. The 1st time I saw reiki energy is in the afternoon sky. This is to help improve on the visual representation.

By Lynda Pendland on 7/26/2017

This course provides actionable steps that are simple to work into your daily routine. Melissa is thorough in covering the material in a way that logically explains how to achieve self love and healing within the power each of us possess and at a level of our own choosing. I highly recommend this course! Peace, Love & Light

By Jon fremd PT on 4/4/2017

My teacher is blessed with confidence, grounded energy and a very harmonic approach, she puts forth great ideas which I find very easy to relate to. I am an alternative therapist, cranial sacral therapist, physical therapist and reflexologist. I am presently working on Reiki 1 and 2, I would love to take her newest one, but I do not know what the prerequisites are?
