About Melinda
As a woman growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, and then moving into corporate life after college, I lived my life driven by a false idea that I was separate - that I needed to do more to prove my worth. And as a woman, especially, this meant trying to “do it all” - be an high income-earner, the perfect mom, and the person that had it all together. These ideas led me further into separation, and desperation - feeling more disconnected from the world than ever - filled with anxiety and bouts of depression.
These feelings of unworthiness caused me to struggle with body image issues, weight gain and loss, chronic stress, insomnia, depression, and joint pain. I lacked self-care practices and the knowledge of how reconnecting to Self and spiritual practices can change everything. I felt terribly both mentally and physically for many years - even after I became a yoga teacher.
Most of my life I was the constant perfectionist - never living up to my own expectations. Feeling unworthy every step of the way, and feeling heavily into other’s energy - internalizing it as my own.
When I began to tune into Spirit through my yoga and meditation practice, it changed my life. As I have evolved over the past few years, I recognize that everything comes into alignment when we align ourselves energetically through Spirit first.
As a Spiritual Life Coach, Yoga Health Coach, Energy Healer, and Yoga Teacher, I believe in finding healing through many channels. I integrate all of my knowledge and life experience to guide you toward healing through Spirit - individualizing each client’s experience to what she needs most in the moment, and providing a safe-haven to share and come together as the beautiful, spiritual, and connected souls that we are.
I embrace the true meaning of yoga as a way of living - a way of uniting mind, body, soul, and the Divine - to lead my life as a path to self-discovery and working through karma - to lead a life on the path of Enlightenment.
