“I had a very meaningful event that was looming on my calendar. It was out of my comfort zone and I had no idea how to go about it. I wanted to be the me I imagined at this event, but felt so incapable of being so. As the day drew near, my emotions and analytical mind swirled. Anxiety’s whisper churned into choppy waves. The day finally arrived and there I was: calm, collected, curious, excited, open, joyful, and immensely present. By repeating a mantra Mellisa helped me develop for myself and my path, I flowed through the day with the ease of river water around rocks and bends. “Just be,” I hummed to myself. “Just be.” That session changed my life... and that was just one of them.

Mellisa is a wonderfully adept listener with no agenda but yours. With utmost respect, compassion, and grace, she provides a safe space for you to reach deep within and pull up all the stuff that’s in your way, then helps you craft meaningful and actionable strategies to transcend it. Her encouragement to break things down into small, doable steps was a revelation. Want to summit Everest? Start with one step. If one step is too much, go smaller- just tie up your laces. Small steps. Small moves.

Working with Mellisa feels sincerely like having a teammate that is not only helping you plot your course up your mountain, but is rooting for you along the way. A most caring and genuine human being, Mellisa masterfully guides you through the Chopra Coaching journey as a welcome light in the fog that reminds you, “You are not alone, and you can do this!””
