Somatic Healing to Reclaim Yourself in Relationships
Heal the outdated relational blueprints that leave you anxious, avoidant, or over-giving — and step into secure, conscious connection with yourself and others. You don’t need more understanding. You need a new experience of yourself.
Hi, I’m Melissa,
I’m an Inner Work and Somatic Facilitator, Conscious Relationship Counsellor, and Attachment Specialist.
For the past 7 years, I’ve guided women to untangle the roots of anxious and avoidant relating, repair nervous system patterns, and create relationships that feel steady and alive.
I believe in this work because I’ve lived it. I know what it’s like to feel unseen and criticized, to silence myself just to keep the peace, to abandon who I was in order to be loved. And I know the freedom of no longer living from that script.

The Life That Opens When You Stop Abandoning Yourself
✦ FROM WALKING ON EGGSHELLS TO STANDING STEADY
You may know what it’s like to silence your truth just to keep the peace. That kind of vigilance doesn’t disappear overnight — but it can soften. It can become steadiness, the freedom of knowing you no longer have to lose yourself to be loved.
✦ FROM QUESTIONING YOUR WORTH TO BELONGING TO YOURSELF
The part of you that’s always wondered if you were too much or not enough can begin to rest. Instead of chasing validation, you discover what it feels like to belong to yourself first — and from that place, love feels mutual, safer, and more real.
✦ FROM SPIRALS TO SPACE
Where reactions once hijacked your body before you had a chance to respond, space begins to open. A pause. A breath. The ability to stay present and choose differently.
✦ FROM FEAR OF CONFLICT TO ROOTED PRESENCE
The fear of being unseen or misunderstood may not vanish, but it loosens its grip. You can remain steady even when tension rises. You can let people come closer without disappearing.
✦ FROM SELF-PROTECTION TO SELF-LEADERSHIP
The parts of you that once hid, over-gave, or braced against rejection don’t have to run your life anymore. They can learn new ways. You can guide them now — with compassion instead of fear.
This Work Is For You If…
In Partnership
You know what it’s like to feel unseen, unheard, or unsure if your needs are “too much.” You silence yourself to avoid conflict, then swing between clinging and shutting down when the disconnection feels too big. You keep asking if it’s just your trauma or if something is wrong with the relationship — either way, you’re tired of managing connection instead of actually enjoying it.
In Family Dynamics
Criticism or judgment from your parents, siblings, or in-laws can still leave you bracing. You try to hold boundaries but guilt pulls you back into old roles — the caretaker, the peacekeeper, the one who holds everything together. You leave conversations or gatherings drained, wishing you could show up differently but not knowing how.
In Yourself
You replay conversations long after they’ve ended. You’ve read the books, done the inner work, but your body still hijacks you in the moment. You want connection, but not at the cost of abandoning yourself. More than anything, you long to feel at home in who you are — steady, clear, and free to show up as yourself.
My Approach
The way I work begins from the bottom up. Lasting change does not come only from talking things through or understanding the story in your mind. It comes from learning how to be with what is happening in your body and nervous system in the moments when you feel triggered, shut down, or disconnected.
Together, we slow things down. We notice the tightness in your chest, the pull to stay quiet, or the way you brace for conflict. These signals are not random — they are your body carrying old experiences and patterns of protection. When we can meet them with awareness and care, something new becomes possible.
This is not about fixing or forcing change. It is about creating enough safety inside yourself to try a different response. Over time, the patterns that once felt automatic begin to shift, and space opens for more honesty, intimacy, and ease in your relationships.

Let Others Inspire You.
"Working with Melissa was truly transformative. She helped me move through the deep self-doubt that was holding me back in both my personal life and in launching my wellness business. What started as a conversation about strategy and planning quickly revealed the emotional patterns that were keeping me stuck. Through her skillful somatic guidance, Melissa helped me connect with my body’s wisdom, release old fears, and step into a greater sense of confidence and clarity. I left our sessions feeling lighter, more present, and more aligned with the vision I wanted to create. I would recommend her to anyone seeking mind-body transformation and personal growth."

Melissa has a rare ability to combine somatic healing with practical strategy. She held a safe, supportive space where I could process my emotions, regulate my nervous system, and also walk away with clear next steps. She is intuitive and compassionate, but also knows how to gently challenge patterns that no longer serve you. I’ve experienced powerful ‘aha’ moments in every session, and always leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and more resourced in my relationships. Melissa has a gift for helping you uncover your own answers while guiding you into deeper awareness and safety in your body. I can’t recommend her enough."
