Hi! I’m Mel.

 

The path towards hypnotherapy and coaching came to me as a vision many years ago, in the midst of my career as an architect. Although successful in meeting the requirements of my profession, from passing difficult licensure exams to adding a real alphabet-soup of letters after my name from all the credentials and professional memberships I collected, I was getting exhausted.

 

The stress of work, especially during the “Great Recession” when many of my friends and colleagues were being laid off from their jobs, not only challenged my mental health but my physical health too. What would happen if I failed to keep up with the increased workload filling the gaps left behind by lost coworkers? What if I was let go and my family lost a source of income? From that fear came sharp pains, shaking hands, frequent headaches, wrist pain … and it wasn’t getting any better. The most doctors could do was diagnose me with chronic pain and suggest I join a support group.

 

So I started to dig deep into what was causing my pain…I worked with a psychologist, physical therapists, and a yoga therapist. I changed my diet, took classes on mindfulness, signed up with a mind-body coach … and then I worked with a hypnotherapist.

 

To this day, I remember how it felt to be pain free for the first time after that first hypnosis session. As I transformed my mindset and approach to life, I felt better in my body and freer in my outlook.

 

I slowly incorporated things that brought me joy and peace like EFT (tapping), meditation, walks on the beach, playing in the waves and spending time with friends. I embraced mindfulness and authenticity as values to live by along with curiosity and a willingness to embrace the unconventional.

 

Then I took the first step in fulfilling my desire to help other people transform their own mindsets by becoming a Certified Martha Beck Life Coach and, eventually, leaving architecture to become a Certified Medical Support Clinical Hypnotherapist trained by the Hypnotherapy Academy of America. Throughout my journey, I discovered a knack for listening, mentoring, and teaching thanks to the many people who came to me for a different, and calming, perspective on their challenges.

 

I am committed to helping you with your own challenges.

 

By combining my coaching, mentoring and hypnotherapy skills, I have helped clients with sleep issues, stress management, pain management, weight release, developing and sticking with healthy habits, building self-confidence, accelerated healing, starting their own business, leveling up their career, developing a money and prosperity mindset, ending unhealthy habit, and accelerate learning with a consistent motivation to study for – and pass –difficult professional licensing exams.

 

I became a hypnotherapist because hypnosis worked for me, and I am called to help people like you overcome their fears, stresses, and obstacles in life.
