This program introduces an innovative integration of Gestalt principles, mind-body traditions, leading-edge neuroscience, and personal coaching. These new frontiers in Mind-Body healing can have life changing results, where other traditional and non-traditional approaches have failed. It is designed for practitioners who would like to integrate this approach in their work with clients, and individuals who would like to explore it for their own healing and growth.

Do you work with clients who have chronic pain, anxiety, overwhelm or stress that is affecting their quality of life? Do you have clients who are very sensitive to the emotions and energy in the environment, and it shows up in their bodies with somatic symptoms?

Or would you like to address this personally, for yourself?

Join us on a journey exploring the exciting field of mind-body coaching and the new frontiers in mind-body healing.

The benefits of this mind-body approach can open whole new possibilities for leading your life from a place of inner guidance and clarity, creating more resilience, peace, self compassion, joy and well-being

The program includes seven weeks of live-online group classes and two 60-minute individual zoom video coaching sessions tailored to the needs and specific interests of each participant, as well as written and recorded materials.

Program Participant

“I participated in the Mind-Body Coaching program last
year and followed with a series of individual coaching conversations with Melanie. Although the reference to ‘dealing with chronic pain’ is what initially caught my eye, that was but a small part of her impact and my reward. Melanie’s deep, calming expertise combined with her caring use-of-self in a way that instilled better understanding and capacity for handling my own pain and inner turmoil. It also reminded my body and soul of how much better I am as a practitioner and person when I take the time to be still and listen.”
