My Story
My desire for helping others has its origins in the trauma from my own history. I've survived and recovered from many years of unhealthy mindset and similar behavior patterns. The process of learning about myself and how to overcome each of my challenges has been monumental in creating a deep desire for empowering others.
​
My beginnings in community work began during the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s. Over the decades I've participated with and worked for many not-for-profit organizations and social projects. Some of that list includes environmental causes, crisis services, LGBTQIA+ services, seniors programs, mental health programs and addiction recovery programs. I hope to never stop contributing this way.
​
My career intention today resides in empowering professionals who choose careers in support of environmental and social justice causes. By providing support and enlightenment here, I am also contributing to those causes that are most dear to me - people and planet!
Client Testimony
"After every meeting I've had with Melissa, I come away feeling inspired and motivated to keep seeking my personal growth. She's great and one of the wisest women I've ever run across. I'm blown away!" Faith 2021
My work with Melissa has been life changing – both personally and professionally. Before working with Melissa, I was stuck and had only a vague notion of my life vision and no plan on how to get there. I was weighed down with a sense of responsibility to and for others that kept me from living my own life. With her skillful and intuitive approach, she has helped me identify and implement a vision for my life that is better than I could have ever imagined. Angela 2023
