Mel

Mindbody Coach & Intuitive Guide

A session with me is like…
A warm, embodied experience infused with humor, science, and intuitive guidance to help you rewire your brain and reclaim ease in your body.

One life experience that helps me relate to my clients is…
For the last 15 years I have navigated chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, and more—enduring over a dozen diagnoses before turning 30. Through brain retraining, meditation, and nervous system regulation, I slowly reclaimed my health and now share the evidence-based tools and lived wisdom that helped me move from housebound to hiking and traveling again.

Three things I want clients to feel post-session are…
Empowered, hopeful, and understood.

Past experience that qualifies me for this role is…
10 years of wellness coaching, reiki, and mindfulness instruction focused on chronic pain recovery, mindbody healing, and nervous system regulation.

My relevant credentials are…
– B.S. in Health and Human Sciences (Colorado State University)
– Certified Health Coach (Primal Health Institute)
– Certified Pain Reprocessing Therapy Practitioner (PRT Center)
– Certified Reiki Master/Teacher, Usui Tibetan Tradition
– Vitalist Herbalist (School of Evolutionary Herbalism)
– Trained Mindfulness Instructor (Insight Meditation Center)

Living with a chronic health condition can feel very isolating and hopeless, especially when you are misunderstood by the current medical system. I believe powerful shifts can happen when we are held in a safe space by someone who truly gets it and can show a way out of our suffering. My work as a coach and intuitive guide is built from my hard-earned experience, grounded in empathy and proven practices for lifelong resilience.
