About Me
Hi, I’m Mellisa — coach, mentor, and space holder.
I support women and entrepreneurs in reconnecting to their voice, their vision, and their value.
My journey into coaching began not with a grand plan, but with burnout.
Years ago, I was juggling a demanding creative job, saying yes to everything and everyone — except myself. On paper, I was “successful.” But inside, I felt disconnected, anxious, and unsure of where I was heading.
Everything shifted the day I slowed down enough to ask: What do I actually want?
That question changed my life. It led me to study psychology, mindful communication, and eventually, coaching — first as a client, then as a practitioner.
Today, I work with people who are ready to do the same: to pause, get honest, and take meaningful steps toward a life and business that actually feel like theirs.
If you're looking for clarity, calm, and real support — you’re in the right place.
