“What can I say about Melissa and her coaching? There is almost too much to write about and can’t even pick an area in which she hasn’t helped me.
I am a classic worried-overachiever that was struggling with anxiety (my first bout ever). She helped me to discover that the causes were not what I thought it was and she supported me in finding a non-medicinal way to handle the episodes. Not only have I managed the anxiety but have happily minimized the moments. The best part is when and if any issues come up – I have all the tools to mitigate the situation.
Additionally, using Melissa’s tools, I now have the ability to face any fears I have and attack my goals without my typical procrastination techniques. I pre-pave my goals and then I work to achieve them with confidence.
I truly believe now that things work in my favor and they do every time.
I had a worrying medical issue that I knew would turn out alright because I worked on it. I believed it too be true and it was.
I had a need to find the right people to manage my property, I worked on it and they fell right into place. I literally ran into a woman that I manifested in my head.
I had a project that I was trying to figure out and I worked on making it true and an bigger opportunity came to me.
I am excited to see the potential that lies before me – professionally, personally and financially.
I can’t thank you enough Melissa. I can’t wait for our next session.”

I was searching for a coach on the internet for several months and came across Melissa and her company. One of the reasons I decided to contact her is she was willing to have a zoom meeting introduction at no charge. I live in Canada and Melissa lives in the US and I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I really liked her instantly and went away and thought about doing some coaching with Melissa and after a few weeks I took the plunge. I was not in a financial situation at that time to do this and have to say it was the best money I have ever spent. This was in July of 2020. I had left my husband in February of that year and at that time felt guilty. I was also partners with my husband in a business that I also walked away from and gave up my license as an independent real estate agent to try and work somewhere else within the industry.
I had several meetings with Melissa and she taught me how to think differently about the situation and not feel guilty as I had nothing to feel guilty about. What I really liked about Melissa was that we didn’t go back to when I was a child to see if there may be something in my past as to why I walked away which was so not true, however, many coaches do this. Melissa started with me where I was at that time and we moved forward from there. This part was amazing for me.
Melissa’s glowing personality and the way she teaches kept me coming back for our sessions and she helped me improve my outlook on life in general. One of the biggest hurdles she helped me with was what I was going to do with my career. I tried everything within the real estate industry to find work, however, it was covid and every developer was cutting back.
I really wanted to go back to selling real estate independently, however, I was afraid to sell real estate on my own as a woman. Melissa suggested that I change my perception and don’t look at it that way. We attract what we are afraid of. She said to look it that you may meet people that will help you with showings, open houses etc. and encouraged me to go back to selling real estate. I took her advice and it was the best decision I made. The people I have met and the new friends I have made at my brokerage are amazing and I am now in my second year. My first year back was incredibly hard as I was in a new city and didn’t know many people but this was good for me, it made me stronger and much more confident in my job. I am in my second year being an independent agent and well on my way and doing great. I took Melissa’s encouraging words and advice and support and wow look at me now!
I so much recommend Melissa for any part of your life you might need a boost in to get over a hump. She truly is an amazing person and so good at what she does. If you are part of her Face Book group, she has the most amazing sayings that I still keep today. I really hope that I can meet Melissa one day in person.
Thank you Melissa.

“I was referred to Melissa through a friend. And a little back story… I consider myself a strong, bright, independent woman. Not really the damsel in distress type, or the type to gravitate toward drama and bring it into my life. I am getting my doctorate, I come from a loving family, and I have a variety of interests and many things I feel like I am good at.
Nevertheless, I was in a negative place and I didn’t really understand how I got there. I spent a long time in a toxic relationship and I always felt that I must have brought this on myself. My self-esteem had reached a real low at this point.
Melissa really helped me find myself again.
After a number of things in my life brought me to a place that just was not right and was not where I wanted to be, Melissa helped me re-connect with who I really am.
I can’t even begin to express the gratitude I have for finding her and how she opened my mind to things that have changed me and my way of thinking to the very core.
I now have a truly beautiful life that just keeps getting better. I look forward to waking up every day and after dealing with years of anxiety including social anxiety and bouts of depression, I feel like I am free from negative thoughts and negative beliefs.
Melissa has a way about her that is warm, and inspiring. She brings you back to the positive person who you are and opens up your life in ways you never understood or imagined.
Melissa puts things into perspective in a way that I have never had a therapist do. I now have a budding dating experience with a man who seems to be everything I have dreamed of. I am getting along with others so well, and my friendships are deepening. Positive things happen to me on a daily basis and it seems like “everything is always working out for me.” Any woman or even man who feels like they just can’t get their life together or have fallen into a slump should talk to Melissa. Especially women who have dealt with an abusive partner. It will change your life and give you your freedom back!”

The most helpful thing was learning how to trust my instincts.
I didn’t use to trust my instincts before, but now I can tell if someone is not “right” for me as a friend, or any other type of relationship. So that is really helpful 🙂
Right after the divorce I felt light as a feather, and all day next day I was happy, and I realized that was the real me.
I wasn’t afraid of how I would figure things out, or if I would be lonely etc.
The other thing was realizing that I was in a toxic marriage (now it’s like “duh – of course, it was toxic”), and recognizing how I attracted him in into my life.
The Fierce AF Relationship Smackdown in particular helped me to peel off the layers of unhappiness I was feeling, day by day, until I realized that I had to get out.
It all made sense after the exercises – why I was feeling the way I did, and the toxic cycle I was living in.
I made peace with who I was at the time, and I learned to love myself (and my old self) even though now I see that all the signs were there right from the start.
I can imagine how traumatic post-divorce could be, but I am feeling confident that I will figure out everything as it comes along.

I approached Melissa during an incredibly difficult time in my life. I was trying to navigate a very tricky divorce. I was overwhelmed, scared, and alone. I reached out to Melissa for a discovery call to see if working with her could help. It was one of the very best decisions I have ever made.
Melissa understood. She was the very first person who actually understood what I was going through. Friends and family really do try to help, but if they have never dealt with a narcissist before, they don’t really understand. Melissa HEARD me, she listened and she understood. She didn’t dismiss me and my concerns. She gets it, she really, truly does.
Melissa gave me action steps and practical advice to apply in my life, which have been unbelievably helpful. She has calmed my fears about leaving him, and taught me the skills to deal with him going forward (we have small children together). I know that I would not be handling this so calmly and rationally without her help.
Working with Melissa has been nothing short of a life-changing experience.
I cannot recommend Melissa enough. She has truly been an enormous blessing to me. If you are dealing with a toxic person in your life, you owe it to yourself to contact Melissa.

I approached Melissa because I really needed some help with handling day to day life as a stay at home mom. I needed tools to help me help my kids with issues that come up on a daily basis. I needed an ear to listen, who could offer support, ideas, and encouragement.
Melissa helped me by focusing on the future, versus dwelling on the past. The main thing she helped me overcome is the constant mom guilt I often felt.
The result was huge! I have felt a tremendous shift on how I handle problems, how I view myself as a parent, and on moving on from mistakes. She also helped me realize that it’s more than OK, it’s necessary, to care for myself and do things to help me feel fulfilled as a person, not just a mother.
One thing I liked was Melissa’s positive encouragement. She always focuses on the positive, and how to move forward with new tools given any current situation.
I found the experience to be motivating. I felt like I could say anything, and there was no judgment, only “ok, let’s try some tools to see if we can make this better.”
I would recommend Melissa to people who need tools to manage difficult situations, who feel stuck and don’t know how to start making some real change in their lives.
We all want to change things in our lives to some extent right? But it’s so hard do it alone. Melissa has been such an inspiration to me through her newsletter and her Facebook page as well.
Anyone who wants tools that work could benefit from her coaching.

I approached Melissa because she has a tendency to give the world’s best advice.
Melissa helped me by truly empathizing with my situation.
I really feel like I’m being heard when I talk to her. The result was that I felt a wonderful sense of relief after speaking with her.
One thing I liked was her ability to get to the heart of the problem and give me tangible action to take. I found the experience to be extremely satisfying.
I would recommend Melissa to people who need help with taking action in order to live a happier, more productive, less stressful life!
