Empowerment for renegades, new thought leaders, new executive leaders, next-level entrepreneurs, paradigm shifters, or anyone who knows walking in their greatness is for the greater good.
"Working with Melanie has changed the trajectory of my life. While I always knew in my core that I had a purpose, Melanie held space and illuminated the path for me, offering deep wisdom, support, and guidance along the way. In less than 9 months, my life has been completely transformed: I left my full-time job to run a successful business of my own, I’m experiencing financial freedom for the first time in my life, I feel fully & deeply empowered, and most importantly, I’m authentically joyful and an active participant in my own life. I cannot overstate how life-changing it was for me to take the leap and work with her." - A. H.

I went from being insecure and critical of my body to shedding my inner dialogue and showing up in the world in a new, more vibrant, grounded and empowering way. Melanie created a space in which I felt safe and free from judgement allowing me to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions as they came up... to notice them and move deeper through the process of letting go of what no longer serves me.

After working with a therapist for nearly 20 years, I can confidently say that having Melanie as my coach and mentor has taken me leaps and bounds beyond what I ever experienced in traditional therapy. Her no nonsense yet compassionate approach was exactly what I needed and wasn’t getting in a more traditional setting. She pushed me to where I knew I needed to go but was too scared to go there alone. She was there at a moments notice when I was struggling and also celebrated my victories both big and small. Beyond her incredible knowledge and understanding of human behavior, her background in yoga and meditation provided a deep layer of compassion and direction. The work I did with her was nothing short of life changing and I will forever be grateful for the work she does.

A NOTE FROM MELANIE KLEIN
|
The challenges you face on this journey will test your endurance and resilience. How much do you want to let go of your insecurities and stand proud and empowered? How badly do you want to let go of hesitation and level-up with clarity? Wouldn’t it feel amazing to be certain about who you are in the world?
As someone who has gone from feeling embarrassed to exist, to shredding layers of toxic messages about my body and my worth in the world... to kicking down doors and fully embracing my power and being *certain* of my value… I can tell you, it feels pretty effing awesome. It’s like confidence on speed-dial. You gotta try this. ;) Here’s the thing though… I didn’t get to this place because I have some special super powers. I felt broken and powerless and I needed the support and wisdom from someone who has “been there, done that,” and who also has the skills to hold me accountable and to create a breakthrough. I’ve had mentors, teachers, healers and coaches. I’m forever grateful. And now I'm available to offer guidance and coaching to YOU. |

I reached out to Melanie at a time when I was feeling the most lost and depressed I had ever felt in my life. I remember saying in our first session I would do anything not to feel that way for one more minute. What I loved about working with Melanie was that she immediately gave me actionable steps I could take to start bettering myself. She helped me reframe doubts in ways that put the choice and power back in my control, and gave me the tools to understand my own value. I appreciate that she was available whenever I had questions and held me accountable on the path toward being the best version of myself. After just a few months, I can genuinely say this experience was life-changing, and I’m forever grateful for the time we spent working together.

Working with Melanie changed the trajectory of my life in an amount of time that I previously thought was impossible. She helped me to uncover an inner wisdom that had been stifled for far long, and she has lovingly guided me towards moving out of my own way, so that I'm able to move around in the world with a newfound sense of ease, love, and power. Thanks to Melanie's guidance, I have become the most clear, grounded, and powerful version of myself yet...and it's only just begun!

Melanie has empowered me to stand tall in the world as I go through some huge transitions and periods of uncertainty including a relocation to the other side of the world and a change in career direction. Her tenacity, humor and kindness has been invaluable and after only a few months she already feels like a good friend. I am so grateful that our paths have crossed and I can’t recommend her coaching enough.

If you find Melanie crossing your path in any way, shape or form, I encourage you to think about that for a moment. Because working with her will change your beliefs and pursuits for the better. This not some kind of investment you‘dip your toe into’, this is a real commitment to your own development, guided by a fantastic, knowledgeable, compassionate woman and impeccable coach. My personal work would have never taken off as it did while working with her, because it would all have stayed within the bounds I thought were reality. Melanie will show you opportunities are everywhere and will support you in taking inspired action on the expansion of your beliefs and passion. I have accelerated in areas of life I wanted to grow, I have proven my old beliefs wrong. I’m grateful I took the leap to work with her, and would encourage you to do the same.
