A WARM WELCOME
Mel is an applied breath resilience instructor, somatic breathwork facilitator, and has completed Compassionate Inquiry training — weaving together the mind, body, breath and nervous system.
​
Her work draws on the evidence-informed base of breath science, the somatic depth of embodied emotional inquiry, and the human warmth that makes people feel safe enough to gently open into self-inquiry.
​​
Trained in Compassionate Inquiry — the method developed by Dr. Gabor Maté — and certified through the School of Breath Science's Applied Breath Resilience Instructor Training, she brings both the science and the humanity to every session.
​
She is currently completing the Oxygen Advantage protocol training and a Diploma of Counselling toward ACA registration.
​
Mel works with private clients online and in-person from Coffs Harbour, NSW.

1. Breath & Nervous System Assessment
This 90-minute session gives us a detailed picture of how your nervous system is placed — how you're breathing, how you're recovering, and where the load is sitting in your body and life.
​
Using a structured set of evidence-based measures, we build a clear baseline together. From there you'll understand exactly what's driving how you feel — and what your system needs to be able to shift.
​
A powerful standalone session, but also becomes the foundation for everything we build together if you choose to go further.

2. Breathwork & Inquiry Session
SINGLE SESSION
A single session to slow down, turn inward and reconnect with the body. Breathwork and curious inquiry woven together — creating space for awareness and gentle self-inquiry.
Available for individuals, couples, small groups and workplace teams.
(Online or in-person, Coffs Harbour NSW)
3. The Restore Program
RESTORATION TO RESILIENCE
Structured 1:1 program using the progressive 3 phase system.
Guiding you from burnout and overwhelm through restoration, regulation and resilience.
​We work through three clear progressive phases — at a pace your nervous system can integrate:
​
Restore — slow down and build the foundations of safety your nervous system needs before anything else can shift.
​​
Regulate — work with the breath more actively, identify what's driving your stress load, and start building the tools that create real, lasting change.
​
Resilience — expand your capacity to meet life's demands with stable, efficient recovery.
​
Our capacity to live a full life we love comes down to the foundation it's built upon. We start there.

A soft place to land.
If you're looking for somewhere to explore how stress, overwhelm and big feelings are making life feel heavy, you've found a place that’s ready to welcome you.
​
Let’s soften some of those edges.
​​
I offer a human-to-human experience that's warm, compassionate and where all parts of you are welcome.


Space to decompress.
Life can feel fast and full at times.​
​​​
These moments offer space to slow down and gently drop back into connection with ourselves.
​​
What happens beyond that, just happens. And usually, it’s pretty nice to just explore what’s sitting there right beneath the surface.
​​
When we meet ourselves with gentle, open curiosity, we expand our capacity to meet others in the same way.
​
Imagine a world with a little more patience and compassion for each other?
welcoming all parts of ourselves
the parts which simply make us human
