After working in a correctional facility, psychiatric hospital, and rehabilitation centers, she realized most of the counseling suggested was geared towards lessons learned through the practice of yoga. Inspired by her clients, she completed her yoga teacher certificate in Ko Pha-ngan, Thailand with the desire to incorporate holistic healing through her teachings. Melissa’s intention is to support each student to leave their session with a greater understanding of their mind body connection, feeling a physical and energetic shift than when they first arrived.
Yoga connects the mind and body, allowing changes to occur on a physical and mental level. Relieve your stress, calm the nervous system, sharpen your attention while increasing your body awareness. Flow through postures that improve symptoms of depression and sleep disorders. Practice and learn different breathing techniques to reduce anxiety. Through consistent practice the strength, flexibility and focus gained on the yoga mat will follow you through your every day life.

Working with Melissa is a real pleasure. The motivation to do better and push myself in each session is a sign of her ability to make the workout fun, as I see the improvement every week. I highly recommend Melissa for yoga and/or workout sessions.

Melissa is someone who has gentle and kind energy, she also is a musician and music for me is magic; so this added to my reason for choosing her as a private yoga instructor. Her flow was great and and her instruction was on point. I would recommend her to anyone.

I’ve tried a few different yoga instructors and I found Melissa to be an exceptional teacher. Even virtually she was able to customize the session to my needs, give very specific adjustments I was able to follow and provide an overall holistic experience. She’s very passionate about her craft and seems to genuinely care, she even gave my kids a free intro to yoga class (which they loved) I cannot recommend highly enough :)

Virtual session was surprisingly impressive. I went in skeptical, but Melissa’s ability to pick up postural nuances like joint pronation and breathing patterns was extremely impressive. An extremely positive experience for a second ever formal instruction session.

I have a truly wonderful experience doing yoga with Melissa. Her expertise and guidance have been invaluable on my yoga journey. Melissa’s classes are great and focused and her instructions are clear and easy to follow. I've noticed significant improvements in my flexibility and overall well-being since having Melissa’s private classes. I highly recommend Melissa to anyone seeking an exceptional yoga instructor!
