Welcome!

I am deeply honoured that you’ve chosen to explore the work I offer, and I am grateful for the opportunity to connect with you. The foundation of my practice is built upon three guiding principles: Align, Connect, and Embody – all essential elements in the process of healing and transformation.

Healing as a Journey

Healing as a Journey

Healing is not a simple act but a dynamic, layered process. Our being holds many depths – some visible, others hidden in the quiet corners of our inner world, waiting to be gently uncovered. Through my own years of healing, I’ve come to understand that true transformation occurs when we align the body, mind, and soul; when we connect to the inner and outer patterns with openness and curiosity; and when we embody those discoveries with grace and presence.

This alignment has formed the foundation of my own healing journey and is what I offer to you: a safe, compassionate space where you are invited to explore the layers of your being. Together, we will work with the patterns that shape you, weaving them into a beautiful, integrated whole – a tapestry that reflects your unique self.

What I Offer You

Through our work together, we will delve into the mysteries of your inner life, unraveling and integrating the layers of your experiences. This process allows you to step into a more authentic and aligned version of yourself, creating a life that is more true to who you are at the core.

Healing is not just about addressing what’s broken, but about becoming more deeply connected to yourself – about reclaiming the fullness of your being. I look forward to walking alongside you on this transformative journey toward wholeness.

Courses

My courses are designed to explore revolutionary practices, weaving cutting edge neuroscience with ancient body wisdom to regulate and nourish your nervous system.

We all have Several Things in Common

We are human beings with a body, we have a nervous system and most of us have had life experiences that have caused injury or pain and disrupted our growth and full potential.

Life has many challenges and most of us experience stress. Stress affects us on all levels, it affects our physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and energetic beings.

So many of us are having difficulty in life, whether it is feeling regulated, feeling good in our bodies, feeling safe and connected or feeling confident.

My wish for our work together is that you come out feeling connected to what makes you feel alive, feeling better in your body and to learn new ways to regulate your nervous system, find meaningful connections and be able to come out of surviving and into thriving.

I am here to witness and hold space for you while you discover yourself and embody your true birthright, which is vitality, wellbeing, alignment and a resilient nervous system.

My hellerwork sessions with Melissa were amazing. She was caring, compassionate and knew instinctively what my body needed. Afterwards I felt whole again – in every way – body, mind and Spirit. Thank you!
