Hey there, I’m Melissa.

As a trauma-informed  life coach, I help spiritual, creative women like you heal your relationship with money and profit from your passions.

After facing my own financial struggles—failed investments, deep-seated fears, and crippling disappointments—I experienced a series of profound, grace-filled breakthroughs that reshaped my life. That transformation now fuels my passion to guide others into financial freedom, purpose, and joy.

My approach blends trauma-informed tools designed to gently heal your nervous system, spiritual practices to co-create your future and spark mindset shifts, and actionable strategies that bring your dreams to life. I create a safe space to untangle past money pain—whether from scarcity, stress, or survival mode—while helping you to build a future that’s abundant and aligned. With a background in ministry, I gently weave faith-rooted wisdom into sessions, alongside a grounded, business-savvy mindset from my pivot to coaching.

Whether you’re dreaming of a heart-led business or simply want to feel less anxious when you check your bank account—I’m here to walk with you.

Let’s heal, grow, and create the beautiful life you’re craving—one ‘right-sized’ step at a time.

"My experience with Melissa rivals all other forms of therapy and healing I've undergone."

Working with Melissa has built my confidence to listen to the voice of my heart. Her gift of empathy enables her to listen openly to issues—big or small—and create safety in a moment. Before engaging in any healing exercise, I feel seen, heard and not alone.

"My life has transformed during my time with Melissa .

I love her ability to hear God’s heart for others. She’s helped me dream big and go after my goals. I come away from our sessions full of ideas and vision for the future and have seen tremendous fruit from her input in my life.

“ It’s so valuable to speak your dreams out loud to someone."

I’ve felt the benefit of having someone with me while daring greatly. ‘Action’ has become my new friend and I’m moving forward on my goals. Something gets amplified and set in motion when our dreams are validated. I’d recommend Melissa!

MY STORY

Where it began and how it’s going now

2009: My own 'perfect storm'

As an exhausted young mom with two kids under one, massive financial difficulties, and a marriage cracking under the pressure, I’m headed for a breakdown. During this season, I discover some teachings on re-wiring limiting beliefs. I devour them and begin making slow but steady shifts towards more empowering mindsets. I also make the life-changing decision to prioritize my own mental health, no matter what. 

2011: My family starts to heal

After a series of miraculous financial breakthroughs, my family and I move back to USA (from New Zealand). I enroll in a 3-year ministry school, begin seeing a counselor, and experience deep healing in my heart. finances, and marriage. I take classes to grow my emotional health skills and mentor 15+ women, sharing tools I’ve learned.

2017: I discover my heart for business

After years of serving in various ministries, I recognize a growing ‘pull’ to explore business. I co-found a women’s organization, lead small groups and retreats, create a class for financial healing, and continue my emotional health training. I also discover I have a penchant for helping people articulate, then manifest, their desires.

2019: I launch my coaching biz

I start ‘dream’ coaching women, first 1:1, then in groups. I am passionate about helping them reconnect to themselves, their femininity, and their creative aspirations. In 2020, I write my first book entitled, Fuel for Your Feminine Soul: Unlocking the Prophetic Power of Beauty.

2021: Life Consulting Masterclass

I pause coaching and enroll in a 2-year, trauma-informed masterclass run by Justin and Abi Stumvoll. Their combined approach using practical, spiritual, and somatic tools not only takes my own healing to a new level, but gives me fresh resources and insights.

2024: Putting it all together

I resume coaching, now equipped with a better understanding of the nervous system, the effects of trauma on one’s body, and tools to heal both. I begin combining my practical knowledge of finances with spiritual laws of abundance, faith, and co-creation with God in my sessions. My clients start experiencing powerful breakthroughs in money and dreams.

2025 and beyond… my dream is to get wealth into the hands of good people doing good in the world
