Rarely does insight, connection, depth, the ability to work across multiple domains and in the moment agility meld into a beautiful coaching experience. Melissa creates that exquisite container in which transformation becomes possible. Not only is she a skilled integral coach, she is a deeply intuitive NARM practitioner. Melissa's intellectual curiosity, passion for service and innate abilities to hold others makes working with her an exceptional experience. She is fearless! As an executive coach, leadership developer and accelerated learning trainer of over 40 years, I have rarely met talent and ability like Melissa's.

I am deeply deeply grateful for our work together. Looking back to this time two years ago feels…so damn long ago, feels unrecognizable in all the best ways. I find myself freer, lighter, happier, more skilled and more confident. I find myself myself for the first time in ages (and in some ways, ever). I want to honor and thank you for your support of the past 2 years. Without our work, I’m not here. My relationships, old and new, are nowhere near as healthy and mutual. I wouldn't have any idea what the hell I want for myself.

I have been a professional, developmental, career and life coach myself for 15 years, and in my experience Melissa is a very capable coach and trauma informed NARM practitioner. Among the many aspects of the quality of attention and way of being that I appreciate and value in her, perhaps the most important for me personally is her broad understanding and ability to relate to me across a wide variety of contexts: from working with emotions, to exploring the history of human thought, to relating to the body and physical world, to rational business thinking, to meditation and spirituality. In selecting a coach, I want someone who not only can go with me into each of these, but who also has the dynamic in-the-moment intelligence to explore interconnections between them with me. Melissa is such a person, and to an extent that I rarely experience.

There is a before and after Melissa. Before my work with Melissa, my life was often run by a relentless inner critic who didn’t miss a beat to tell me how everything was my fault and I didn’t have any value. After working with Melissa, there is a lot more softness, acceptance and an ease that allows me to breathe and connect to my feelings more deeply, with less judgement and more self-love. The transformation has been significant in how I relate to myself and how I relate to those around me.

If you are serious about making changes and becoming fully alive, there is no better coach than Melissa to guide you. Get ready to reconnect with yourself and with your life in new and generative ways.
