MOMENT OF
Restoration, regulation and resilience — through breath and self-discovery.
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 practice 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. Intro Breath & Allostatic Load Assessment
This 90-minute session gives us an idea of how your allostatic load is sitting (accumulative effect of long-term stress) — how you're breathing, how you're recovering, and how the load may be impacting you.
​
Using a structured set of evidence-based measures, we build a clear baseline together. From there you'll gain insight into what may be contributing to how you feel — and what your system could need 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.
(1.5 hours · Online or in-person, Coffs Harbour NSW)
2. Grounded, The Program
RESTORATION TO RESILIENCE
Structured 1:1 program using the progressive 3R system.
Guiding you from burnout and overwhelm through restoration, regulation and resilience.
Moving through three clear progressive phases — at your personal pace, integrating each step in order to support long-term stability.
​
Restore — slowing down and exploring present awareness. Understanding personal state, longer term traits, habits and beliefs. Building the foundation needed before anything else can shift.
​​
Regulate — exploring the breath more actively, what's driving your stress load, and starting to build 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.

SINGLE SESSION, 1:1 OR PRIVATE GROUPS

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
