New Delhi [India], July 11: In today's dynamic and high-pressure global climate, the focus on mental health and personal development has become more vital than ever. Rising prominently within this landscape is Melody Magengezha, widely known as Mbuya vaRaphy--a transformational leader, visionary coach, and advocate for mental wellness. As Founder and CEO of Rising Serenity Coaching and Therapy Services, and host of the Mbuya vaRaphy Talkshow, Melody has made it her life's mission to empower individuals to overcome personal limitations, build emotional resilience, and transform their lives through intentional growth and healing.
In recognition of her impact, Melody was honoured at the Fluxx Awards 2025, receiving two prestigious accolades: Mental Healthcare Expert of the Year in the Health & Wellness category and Influencer of the Year in the Education category. The Fluxx Awards, hosted at the Ritz-Carlton in Hong Kong on June 5th & 6th, celebrates outstanding global innovators and changemakers across sectors. Melody's dual recognition not only underscores her leadership in therapeutic coaching but also highlights her powerful influence in reshaping public discourse around education, wellness, and emotional intelligence.
A Journey of Transformation
Melody's journey toward becoming a globally recognised figure in coaching and mental health support is rooted in resilience, empathy, and lived experience. Raised in a community with limited access to educational and psychological resources, she faced challenges that might have deterred others. Instead, these adversities became the fuel for her passion: to help others rise above their circumstances and thrive.
Her academic and professional path began in 2000, with a focus on education, psychiatric nursing, and therapy. She completed her studies at respected institutions including Chinhoyi University of Technology (CUT), UNITEC New Zealand, and the University of Auckland, where she deepened her expertise in emotional well-being, human behaviour, and therapeutic interventions.
With this strong foundation, Melody launched Rising Serenity Coaching and Therapy Services--a practice built to offer holistic, customised care to individuals navigating personal, emotional, and psychological challenges.
Impact Through Connection
Melody's influence extends beyond her clinical work. As the host of the Mbuya vaRaphy Talkshow, she has cultivated a powerful platform that brings mental health education into living rooms around the world. Each episode delves into crucial topics ranging from trauma recovery to emotional resilience, combining expert insights, real-life stories, and practical tools. The talk show has become a trusted resource and a safe space for those seeking validation, clarity, and empowerment.
Her voice is not only informed but deeply personal. Viewers are drawn to Melody's authenticity, as she frequently shares her own experiences to build trust and demonstrate that healing is possible. Her bestselling books--Forgiveness: The Key to Freedom and Stagnant or Soaring: The Impact of Your Inner Circle--extend her influence in written form, providing readers with tools for self-reflection and sustainable growth.
A Vision for the Future
Melody's long-term vision reflects her unwavering commitment to equity, healing, and global empowerment. She is actively working to expand her services to underserved communities, ensuring that quality mental health care is accessible, inclusive, and culturally relevant.
Her efforts include the creation of the Mbuya vaRaphy Wellbeing Awards, launched in Tokyo, Japan, which recognise individuals and organisations making meaningful contributions to mental health and wellness. Additionally, Melody is developing a series of seminars and workshops focused on essential life skills--ranging from emotional intelligence to goal-setting--designed to equip attendees with tools for long-term success and well-being.
Mentorship remains a core pillar of Melody's work. She dedicates time to guiding the next generation of thought leaders, especially young women and aspiring mental health professionals. By investing in others' journeys, she is creating a ripple effect that extends far beyond her own achievements.
Conclusion
Melody Magengezha, known to many as Mbuya vaRaphy, stands as a beacon of purpose-driven leadership in both the mental health and education sectors. Her recognitions at the Fluxx Awards 2025 affirm what her clients, audience, and peers already know--she is a woman of influence, integrity, and vision. Whether through coaching, broadcasting, or authorship, Melody's impact is transformative, rooted in compassion and propelled by her belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and thrive.
Her legacy is not only one of professional excellence but also of humanity--a legacy that continues to inspire lives across continents, one empowered individual at a time.
