Hi, I'm Melanie.
Welcome to my website.
Here you'll find an overview of the work I offer and the different ways I can support you and your body.
With three decades of experience supporting people in group settings and one-to-one's I'm passionate about helping people navigate pain, physical trauma and stress.
I'm continually inspired by the ways the practices I offer can support people through life's challenges, helping them find ways to reconnect to themsleves, which feels expansive , grounding and experience more physical freedom
These practices are a wonderful blend of ancient wisdom and neuroscience.
They offer an opportunity to gently explore deep-rooted physical stress and the effects of past experiences on the body.
Motion is potion, sensation is transformation.
Through embodied safety, somatic yoga supports your body's internal systems and cultivates greater stability, mobility and ease.
Classes and 1:1 sessions are offered online and in person.
This speical space is where I offer trauma informed body work and sound healing
A space to soften, surrender and receive.
Discover trauma-informed bodywork and sound healing, each offered as a standalone experience or brought together in a deeply nurturing session.
A chance to slow down, settle into stillness and give yourself permission to rest, restore and simply be.
Explore the body. Awaken the senses. Embrace the magic.
From immersive workshops and playful explorations to retreats and creative collaborations, these experiences invite you to explore the meeting place of body, mind, spirit and senses.
Expect curiosity, connection, sensory discovery and possibilities beyond the everyday.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
For thirty years, I have been teaching, exploring, and holding space ,discovering gentle, mindful ways to support our bodies and minds through the natural complexities of life.
Like many of us, I have lived through my own seasons of grief, illness, trauma, and the profound transitions of menopause. Living through these chapters firsthand has deeply shaped how I understand the ever-changing relationship between our mind and body.
It has taught me how heavily our lived experiences can ripple into the way we feel, move, and show up in the world.
While my yoga practice has been a steady anchor throughout my adult life, it has continually evolved as I have grown. Today, it is no longer just something I do on a mat, it is a living philosophy that naturally weaves its way into every aspect of my teachings.
Ultimately, my work is about creating a safe, compassionate sanctuary for you to explore your own story with curiosity, love, and absolute acceptance.
