it’s time to awaken to your potential

but first, let’s get you out of your own way.

“why would I work with a life coach?”

Maybe you’ve been feeling stuck for some time and haven’t been able to get unstuck. Maybe you’ve reached a significant crossroads in life and aren’t sure which path to choose. Maybe you did everything that you believed you were “supposed” to do, only to realize that something still feels… missing.

Maybe you have an inkling that you were meant for a bigger and more fulfilling life, yet can’t seem to get out of your own way to step into it.

Your unique challenges and opportunities would define our work together. We’ll cut through the noise of your inner critic, identify any blindspots, and create your version of a joyful life from a place of clarity, confidence, alignment, and authenticity.

Two sets of eyes, two minds, and two hearts are better than one. I’m here to support and walk beside you every step of the way.

my approach

There are three foundational pillars for sustainable transformation:

awareness

We can’t get to where we want to go without first understanding where we stand in the present moment.

Together, we’ll create a detailed map of your current life, setting the stage for the exciting work of envisioning and creating the future you truly desire.

Our work will also deepen your awareness around the workings of your inner world and help you recognize the ways that this shows up in your external reality.

radical ownership

Each of us has the choice to be the author of our own stories and the captain of our own ships. But no one can make that choice for us.

My goal is to empower you to fully take charge of your life’s journey and become the hero of your own story.

compassion

Compassion will be the cornerstone of our coaching relationship, serving as the key ingredient that sustains your progress and fortifies your resilience.

The most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one you have with yourself. Together, we’ll cultivate and nurture this relationship so that it’s deeply rooted in warmth, compassion, and kindness.

Testimonials

  • There have been so many shifts, but the biggest has come from my relationship with myself. It’s the strongest it’s ever been and that has had a ripple effect across both my personal and professional life. For the first time, I can identify what I need and I’m learning to give that to myself with more consistency. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in how I emotionally respond to others and how I can now separate what I feel from what others are feeling, especially in my relationships with family and my partner. I’ve become better at naming my emotions and working through them with more patience and self-compassion. I used to carry a lot of self-judgement and frustration, but that’s softened so much. Life just feels lighter.

  • The interval I have worked with Mellania was deeply awakening, intriguing, and touching. I started off with a deep sense of misdirection and weak self-acceptance. The more I expressed, Mellania’s thought-provoking questions would come to challenge me and dig deeper into those hardcore misbeliefs about myself that, with Mellania, I discovered were unwarranted. 

    Through our sessions I realized my greatest nemesis and friend was me; that what really kicks growth in is a simple mindset shift.

    One of the most beautiful things I have experienced with Mellania is the way she rephrased my words into simple, clear statements of what ifs. Suddenly a huge haze clears off, and everything becomes simple and tangible. 

    Our time together has been emotional and personally meaningful beyond measure; even if I have perceived myself as the problem, Mellania assures me that I was a beautiful problem—accurately, a human. 

  • Where do I start? First off, Mellania is so genuine. You can feel how much she cares about you during each session. Her words are gentle, yet challenge your thought process to help you further discover yourself. She is patient and thoughtful. She allows you to reflect on the intention in a way that’s healing. She’s also a wonderful listener. Although I am still getting comfortable with sharing my emotions, she was easy to trust with my vulnerability. It’s obvious to me that she is extremely passionate about helping others understand themselves and get to a place where they can see themselves without judgment. She is very professional and organized in the way she lays out each session. The activities during our active time and homework in between kept me accountable to my goals. My takeaways include more confidence, self-awareness and resiliency. I highly recommend working with Mellania.

  • It was all thanks to Mellania that I was able to grow and add significant value to different areas of my life in such a short amount of time. Her ability to attentively listen, to keep me honest and accounted for, to get to the root of an issue, and to help me do the work to get myself moving forward. I honestly would not have gotten here if it wasn't for her and I truly appreciate the time she has taken to understand my situation and offer personalized recommendations. Her understanding and empathy have made a world of difference in my life, and I am deeply grateful for her unwavering support. I am confident that the lessons I have learned from our sessions will stay with me for the rest of my life, and I am excited to continue applying the principles she has taught me to all areas of my life.

  • I am deeply grateful to Mellania for her unconditional support and guidance during a challenging period in my life. When I first started working with her, I was dealing with some heavy anxiety and having extreme difficulty with how to navigate the obstacles I was facing in my personal and professional life, and extreme thoughts and anxiety-ridden emotions of not feeling good enough. Mellania gave me the non-judgmental space to share what was truly, deeply going on inside of me. Her ability to listen attentively and ask thought-provoking questions helped me gain clarity about my goals and values. Her guidance has empowered me to break free from self-limiting beliefs and embrace new opportunities with optimism and enthusiasm. Thanks to her support, my health coaching business has started flourishing. Most importantly, I have gained a renewed sense of purpose and direction in my life. Her dedication to helping others realize their full potential is evident in every session we had together. I feel incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with her as my coach, mentor, and friend. I am forever grateful for her guidance, wisdom, and unwavering support.

about me

My deep love for humans, my fascination with human behavior and psychology, and my own healing journey are what naturally guided me to the profession of transformational coaching.

As a coach (and as a human), I listen deeply, empathically, and without judgment. I reflect back what I observe to deepen your awareness and understanding of self. I shine light on any blind spots that may be obstructing your view of the bigger picture. I partner with you to identify and then create the life you truly want.

My core values are authenticity, kindness, compassion, integrity, wisdom, growth, freedom, connection, curiosity, and courage.

I do this work because I love it and I believe in it. My life has been transformed from the inside out since I began working with my own coach, and I’m committed to pushing this ripple of personal transformation outward. I want to contribute to creating a world in which more people feel fulfilled because they’re showing up to their lives authentically, courageously, and whole-heartedly. We all have this one precious life to live, and we get to choose how we want to live it. Coaching helps people first recognize that choice and then fully own it.

This work is not for the faint of heart. I work with resilient and passionate people who are willing to go deep, are committed to doing the work, and are serious about creating meaningful and sustainable change in their lives. If this describes you, let’s talk.
