Somatic-based, Compassionate Inquiry-informed Health and Life Coaching
You don't have to know exactly what's wrong to seek help. Maybe you feel a bit lost, overwhelmed, burnt-out, out of sync, not yourself. Maybe you've spent too long in habits that no longer serve you. You know you something needs to change, but you don't know where to begin.
I work with people who are holding too much and have lost their way, offering a space that is calm, grounded, and judgement-free – a space to gently explore what's going on.
My approach draws from holistic coaching methods and somatic-based Compassionate Inquiry, supporting people to see themselves clearly through the fog of self-imposed expectations and social pressures.
If you would like to learn more about the services I offer or talk about whether this could be a fit, I'll be happy to hear from you.
Testimonials
I had a few sessions with Melanie, and the depth we reached from the very first meeting truly surprised me. Her work is incredibly gentle yet profoundly insightful.
What stood out most was how safe and natural it felt to go deep very quickly. I gained valuable insights about myself that I still carry with me today. Her presence, energy, and way of holding space are truly exceptional.
I’m deeply grateful for the experience and highly recommend her to anyone ready for meaningful inner work.

I expected a food-coach. But I got so much more! I felt that I could be open, Mel really listened to me. No matter what I told her, she always knew how to help or what to say.
- Kiara D.
Before I started the sessions with Mel I felt lost, unhappy and disappointed in myself. I have been struggling with emotional eating and extreme IBS symptoms for many years and I was confused about my true relationship with food. But, what a beautiful, explorative journey it has been! I felt understood and listened to, and I could really be myself during the sessions. She managed to create a safe space where judgment does not exist and where there was so much room for laughter as well.

Using Compassionate Inquiry, Mel has lovingly coached me through some rough patches over recent years. I love the way she is both compassionate and attentive to details. She asks the right questions to get to the bottom of the problem. She helps to find the key to acceptance, forgiveness and a sense of feeling lighter after a session.

Through our work together, I have really been able to focus on the things that matter to me, clear away the fog around some of the things I've been struggling with, and start to really see a clear path forward. Mel's coaching is calm and comfortable, and it makes it so much easier to really open up and get to the heart of things.

I highly recommend Mel's services, experience and knowledge. At a glance, she knew exactly what easy steps to take to improve my diet and feel much better. There is never any judgment in her way of talking, it is always very thoughtful, positive and kind. She listens closely to respond accurately and in a beautiful way. I would like to thank you so much once again for your wonderful help and strong support!
