“Fifteen years ago, Melissa guided me through some of the most difficult transitions of my life—divorce and serious illness—with profound care and wisdom. What I learned from her has stayed with me: not only how to navigate transitions, but how to regulate my sensitive nervous system, infuse joy and creativity into my life, and, most importantly, how to truly love and care for myself. Melissa gave me a toolbox that has been invaluable ever since, and I’m endlessly grateful for the lasting impact she’s had on my life.”
