“I was stuck in my life in relationships with people I loved. I wanted to keep the relationships and was not clear what the problems were. Melissa’s coaching provided me with tools to see other people’s perspectives and gave me permissionto set up boundaries. She stayed available when I was experiencing moments of doubt. I think coaching is vital for adults. I plan on continuing to use her.” — John

“I first saw Melissa when I was trying to make some pretty big decisions in my life. She had the ability to take the sweeping generalizations that I wanted and help make them specific measurable goals. It helped me to be able to concentrate on different aspects separately and be less overwhelmed. Her thought provoking questions made me have to verbalize exactly what I wanted. After that it was just a solid question of follow through on my part (she also helped hold me accountable to myself). She is truly one of a kind and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her coaching services to anyone trying to become the best version of themselves. “— Julie

“Melissa has been a wonderful coach our last three months of working together. I came to her with two specific goals I wanted her to help me with and sure enough..she did! I knew I needed someone to give me the extra push and hold my feet to the fire, and she has done that and more. I’m not going to lie…after our first session I was nervous and unsure how I was going to do a challenge she had for me, but I found the strength and used the techniques we worked on (in our very first session!) to complete the challenge.Three months later, I am doing things that I never thought I could do. I also loved how our relationship was co-active as she was never seen as an authority figure or someone above me. We were two humans who were working to peel my layers back and to get to exactly where I want to be. She will challenge you in all the right ways, be your biggest supporter, as well as a safe space week in and week out. I would highly recommend Melissa as your coach!” —Caroline

“I wasn’t sure what coaching was all about but was feeling a little lost so I reached out to Melissa and was so glad I did!! She is incredible. Each session we had together felt like I was speaking with an old friend who knew just what to say and managed to get me to say what I needed to hear as well. We spent 4 weeks together and I am feeling more like myself then I have in the last few years. Thank you so much.”— Sharon

“When I began working with Melissa, I was in the thick of relaunching my business after becoming sole owner of it: I was feeling extremely stressed and overwhelmed—stretched thin by my many business, volunteer, and personal commitments—and I felt like I was getting lost in the shuffle of my responsibilities.

With her deft approach to accountability, Melissa has been able to help me stay on track with my goals without making them feel like yet another burden or heavy responsibility. Our discussions have helped me to show up more confidently and authentically in work settings as well as in my interactions with friends and family. I feel much more aligned: I am leading with my values and others can clearly see what I stand for. My sessions with Melissa and the insightful conversations we've had and exercises she utilized have been instrumental in this shift in my mindset and behavior.

I wholeheartedly recommend Melissa's coaching services to anyone who is looking to make positive, lasting changes to their mindset and leadership.” - KD
