Melanie did a brilliant job coaching me through every stage of my TEDx talk prep. She cracked the whip when I slacked off. She provided expert editing and wordsmithing skills when my text needed it. And, she graciously extended tender support and enthusiastic cheerleading whenever doubts crept in – enough to make me believe that I was the smartest person on earth. I so immensely enjoyed working with Melanie – beyond measure. I learned truths of all kinds and came out a much better human because of her tenacity, virtuosity, and humanity. I cannot recommend or praise her enough.

She has truly helped me develop and express my best self!"

“Melanie holds space in a distinctly powerful way: she's an expert at calling you out on your sh*t while maintaining a completely loving and supportive container.

Amanda Huggins,

“I was magnetically drawn to Melanie’s way of working as well as her energy. I was over-working, blaming myself, and running in like circles.

She has a way of balancing intent with compassion, hard truth with humor, and vulnerability with comfort.”

I was thrilled when I made the money I invested with Melanie and more in my business! It showed me the impossible is possible.”
