mind-body support. integrative guidance.
We are living in heavy times, and many of us are carrying more than our nervous systems were ever meant to hold. It can be challenging to stay grounded, present, and connected to ourselves.
That’s where having objective, expert support can make all the difference. My private offerings draw from the coaching aspects of my clinical training alongside my certifications in yoga and 5-Needle Protocol (5NP) auricular acupuncture.
This work supports embodiment, nervous system regulation, and inner resilience, with care that is evidence-informed, intuitive, and tailored to you and your body’s unique needs.

Welcome! I’m Mel, a licensed therapist and mind-body practitioner who longed to expand my healing work beyond my private practice.
I am passionate about helping folks re-regulate their nervous systems and feel more grounded during difficult times.
My approach is rooted in my background in psychology, somatic practices, and contemplative traditions, and informed by years of supporting others through transition, uncertainty, and realignment. This foundation allows me to offer care that is both supportive and effective.
