Lead Curator + Director of yoga

meet melissa

i spent over a decade in the high-stakes world of real estate, building a career on logic and grit while my internal environment was under constant pressure

for a long time, i navigated the heaviest layers of my life on a yoga mat. i turned to the practice during a divorce. i turned to it when i experienced temporary paralysis in my left leg. i turned to it when my child was diagnosed with anxiety and ocd. i turned to it when i was completely lost, navigating the recurring trauma of childhood abuse. i turned to it during the "living pains" of a blended family, and when my career felt so heavy i could barely breathe. i turned to it, harder than ever, when addiction touched the life of someone i love most

in those years, i did a lot of crying on my mat. no one ever knew; it was hot yoga, and the tears just looked like sweat

yoga was my sanctuary before it was my profession. it was the only place where i could peel back the roles of high-performer, mother, and partner to find what was left at the core. it taught me that physical movement is merely the outer peel - the real work happens in the quiet, structural shifts underneath. in the pause, you can finally catch your breath, feel your body and connect to your inner sanctuary

there is power in the pause

now, i bridge the gap between i have a problem and i have a plan. i use my experience in high-pressure environments and my deep study of movement to design bespoke practices for your unique physical and emotional history. i have curated the modalities that helped me survive my own journey, specifically to help you connect back to yourself

i meet you exactly where you are, because i have been there

your practice. your portfolio. your plan.

may i be well. may you be well. may we be well
with love
