Meet your Teacher

Melissa devotes her time and study to help people find a sense of belonging, clarity, and fulfillment... She was stuck and going through the motions; there was a sense of feeling lost that she couldn't quite describe, but when she found yoga and meditation, she finally came home to herself. Her hope is that these practices help you find that spark!

I am so grateful for this course, as I’m at the end of my tether trying to help my mum. It’s horrible watching her deteriorate every day in front of my eyes and feeling helpless. I know with a little help guidance and encouragement and tiny baby steps she can start strengthening years of sitting, standing and walking badly. I’m very lucky I have access to physios, osteopaths and chiropractors through my work and my private healthcare. I’m just wondering if it would help to see one of these before she actually starts and he exercise so at least some of the information and pain has been relieved. But I’m certainly going to try your recommended exercise exercises. thank you, thank you, thank you

I found all the lessons valuable, but found particular utility in the notion of (safely) walking barefoot more often. Thank you!

Very difficult to follow, would be better on You Tube not on a meditation app.
