What People Are Saying

“Melissa is a secret treasure. The shift after my Energy Restoration session with her was ENORMOUS. Prior to my session I was sluggish and couldn’t think straight or complete my work — I was in complete shut down mode. I woke up the morning after my session feeling 100%. I was jamming! It was like all of my neurons were firing again.” Heather L.

“I had been trying out various meditation practices for several years, but nothing stuck for me until I took Melissa’s course. Thrive Zone helped me understand the neurology related to mindfulness and self-care which really motivated me to develop a daily ritual/practice by the end of the course. Melissa’s voice is very calming and centering and her style is extremely accepting and validating of each individual in the course.”

Lindy A.

“Melissa is serious and fun at the same time. I’ve had other yoga teachers remind the class to lighten up and smile, but no one needs to be reminded with Melissa!” Phoebe G.

“Melissa’s way of teaching forces me to forget about all the stress in my life. She calms me down and strengthens and stretches me all at the same time. She is my weekly therapy.” Dani C.
