I'm Melissa

i'm here to help you bridge the gap between your ideal life and your actual one.

My Mission: to help you honor yourself and your desires so you can live a life of ease, harmony, and joy.

In 2017, I hit rock bottom mentally, emotionally, and quite literally in a skiing accident that changed my outlook on life. I realized I was stuck in a pattern of manifesting my biggest fear: chasing a life of inner-peace and fulfillment, rather than actually feeling at peace and fulfilled.

I was desperate for relief from the lows of depression and the overwhelm of anxiety. I felt increasingly frustrated every time a well-meaning person told me to "just be more positive, focus on the good things, others have it much worse." I wanted to understand what I was feeling and why so I could truly process my experiences and heal. Ultimately, I found support and lasting progress through various modalities of holistic and trauma-informed healing. 

As I learned to regulate my nervous system, I felt more intentional and fully in the present moment for the first time in my life. Through exploring my thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns, I gained clarity about my values, passions, and desires. In showing up for myself and my goals one tolerable step at a time, I noticed my hopelessness gradually transform into hope.

Mindfulness and healing sparked a passion for life that kept me going on the hard days. I feel more connected to myself and others, present in the world around me, and clarity about what brings me the most joy. I feel a renewed sense of creativity, possibility, and excitement, and I want you to experience all of these feelings and more, too.


I specialize in helping you live mindfully so you can experience more presence and peace on a daily basis.

Are you an open-minded, introspective person who loves the process of learning, growing, and becoming the best version of yourself? Maybe you've tried personal development work in the past, but haven't experienced the deep transformation of lasting inner-peace that you long for. One of your biggest desires is to live more aligned to your values and passions without compromising your wellbeing. You know that feeling more fulfilled in your life is possible for you; You just need the right guidance to keep you moving forward in a way that honors your own pace.

I'm here to support and hold space for you as you embrace more of who you feel called to be. With loving guidance, you'll strengthen your connection to your intuition, build self-trust through honoring and showing up for yourself, and enjoy the clarity and ease that come with living in emotional, energetic, and somatic regulation.

Let's journey together toward your version of fulfillment with an open heart, clear mind, and liberated spirit.

why work with me?

I know what it feels like to do "all the right things" and still not feel the fulfillment you hoped for.

If you are struggling to:

•Feel present, at peace, and calm more often than not
•Put yourself first and honor all aspects of your wellbeing (body, mind, emotions, spirit)
•Overcome indifference or uncertainty about what you want out of your life
•Cope with stress, worry, or other uncomfortable emotions
•Let go of patterns or behaviors that no longer feel aligned, and create new habits to support your goals
•Feel joyful and connected to what you're passionate about

My friend, you are in the right place!

There is nothing more empowering than gaining self-trust through showing up for yourself and your dreams- and having the energy and emotional capacity to do so.

If you're ready to live your life in a way that feels more aligned with who you know you're meant to be, I would love to support you on your journey.

Together, we're going to ensure you feel more connected to yourself and your vision for your life. My intention for you is to take what you learn here and continue to build trust in your ability to live a life that feels good- even well beyond our time working together.

You deserve to live presently, peacefully, passionately, and purposefully.

you don't have to choose between your wellbeing and your fulfillment.

My favorite travel memory: participating in zen meditation led by a renowned Buddhist monk in Kyoto, Japan. Meditation has since become an amazing mindfulness resource in my life.

one of My favorite things in life is to share delicious vegan food with others. I sell my original baked goods locally, run a vegan food blog, and love hosting loved ones for brunch and dinner parties.

This is my baby, Onyx. He loves to snuggle, play with his toys, and is the best work from home companion!

I love to watercolor and acrylic paint, drawing inspiration from our beautiful world. Nature scenes and colorful landscapes are my favorite subjects to paint.
