About Melissa
After experiencing a profound heartbreak in my marriage, I made the decision to become a coach. This life-altering experience has completely transformed me.
After finding a coach for myself, I had a revelation: coaching could be my way to pay it forward and help others.
And I Love it!
As a coach, I provide a safe space to help you process deep emotional pain and work through issues that are affecting you. I believe that our emotions and body sensations are closely linked to our memories. Many people tend to push these sensations away, but it's important to acknowledge and work through them to understand how they're currently impacting you. I have received extensive training in understanding how the subconscious mind influences our behaviors and beliefs. I guide my clients to sit with uncomfortable emotions and help them recognize and address any defense mechanisms that may arise. Using the Internal Family System model, I create a supportive environment for different parts of yourself to be heard, loved, and integrated. If you are open to it, healing is possible with time.
