Hi, I’m Melissa.
In a nutshell, I’m a professional listener, an expert at reflection, an intuitive question asker. The world needs more spaces where people feel seen and heard.
This coaching isn’t all kumbaya, and it’s not all self-care tips and tricks. This is something in-between. The offerings here invite us to embrace the messiness of being human, of life. They’re about bringing self-help and empowerment back down to the ground. This ground. In this body, in these circumstances.
