“I knew a little bit about ‘tapping’ when I started my sessions with Melanie. I was curious to experience this modality of working. As a therapist, I’m always looking at ways in which to harvest emotions and work with them. I was surprised at how quickly we got to the heart of what was upsetting me. It was like zooming in on the core of distress, revealing to me how I was (and this is true of course!) carrying this pain from the past that no longer applied to today. Mel was so loving and gentle, and at the same time, did not shy away from leading me to the difficult place. Some people are gifted healers, whether by nature or by their own healing process. I think Mel is both. ”

“As an EFT trainer and practitioner myself, I’m quite picky but Melanie is someone I trust deeply! She has a natural gift and intuitive ability! I worked with her over the phone to release procrastination around writing my book. I had been in a cycle of self-sabotage for 6 months, so she didn’t dilly dally on surface issues, but dove right to the root cause: fear of judgment. In about 30 minutes of using EFT tapping on anxiety and procrastination, I felt motivated and eager to start writing. Wow. Her non-judgmental energy made me feel safe opening up about trauma and “shameful” feelings. I appreciated that we could laugh at the blocks that were surfacing!
An update: I wrote half the book in one weekend. When I had resistance pop up, it quickly dissipated as I returned to the shifts in our session. Her insights were warm and compassionate as if she was gently reminding me of the truth of who I am. Melanie will definitely be in the acknowledgments page of my FINISHED book! ”

Melanie offers a rare combination of deep skill and heart-felt support. She knows her EFT up and down, back and forth and guides you with natural fluidity. But more, she brings her whole self to each session: her intelligence, her empathy and her natural wisdom. If you place yourself in Melanie's care, she will be lead you to a whole new place: free of old trauma and triggers; open to new experiences and accomplishments.

Melanie is a true gift to humanity. She pours her whole heart into these sessions, providing a safe place to gently open and heal. She is incredibly intuitive, always knowing what I needed next, but always reflecting my options and giving me the choice of where to take things. As a woman struggling with sexual trauma and deep shame of being a woman, she was a beacon of light and hope through these dark memories. She brought so much love, encouragement and joy into my journey, laughing and cheering with me over the funny and victorious moments. She is a woman you can to trust with your soul.
