Ways to work with me
Clarity Breathwork Sessions
Price: $215 (90 minutes on Zoom)
Clarity breathwork offers a powerful way to release long-held pain, trauma, and limiting stories. Through a mixture of open hearted sharing and intentional breath, I’ll guide your body to heal what your mind has been unable to. Breathwork is great for blocked creatives, individuals in recovery, cerebral types who live in their head (often identifying as perfectionists), and those who have lots of healing tools but struggle to see actual life changes or “feel differently.”

Book Coaching & Consultation
Price: $200 (1 hour on Zoom)
Whether you’re an aspiring writer or a seasoned author looking to breathe new life into a project, I can guide you through every step of the process—from ideation to publication—and offer expert editing to refine your manuscript. With a unique heart-centered approach and a proven marketing track record, I understand the ins and outs of publishing, book promotion, and the emotional journey of being an author (spoiler alert: the emotional aspect is where most authors get stuck - let’s get you and that beautiful book past that bottleneck and into the world.)
Already have a book or series but want to boost sales? The average self-published book sells fewer than 250 copies, while traditionally published books average 3,000-5,000 copies; in contrast, my Questions You’ll Wish You Asked series has sold over 20,000 copies worldwide, a number that continues to grow each year past publication. Through my unique approach we’ll revive your stagnant sales, create a launch or re-launch that centers your gorgeous book, or work together to bring that book earthside.

Life Coaching
Price: $160 (1 hour on Zoom)
Coaching can help you navigate life’s challenges and grow what’s already right and good about you. I don’t believe you are broken or need fixing - I help you to unlearn anything keeping you stuck and find your own personal path to remembered wholeness (and with that wholeness, more confidence.)
With over a decade of experience working with clients 1:1, facilitating healing groups for women, and even coaching in the corporate sphere for United Healthcare, I blend traditional techniques (like CBT) with so-called “woo woo” tools (like guided visualizations.) These are tailored for you individually, in order to be the most transformative.
I’m particularly passionate about working with perfectionistic women and highly sensitives who have big creative dreams: dreams they feel passionate about but apprehensive or shy to bring into the world. Together, we’ll explore the areas of your life that need attention, help you to get unstuck, and create a clear, heart-centered plan to achieve meaningful transformation.

Virtual Co-working - Wednesdays 2-3:30pm on Zoom (Free)
Join me on Zoom with some fellow creatives for a focused virtual work session designed to help you make real progress on whatever it is YOU want to prioritize. Want to get some writing done or make some moves on a creative project? Need to call the DMV, fold that pile of laundry, or gather documents to do your taxes? The first step is simply committing to the time. LET’S DO IT TOGETHER. We’ll log on and set our intentions (you don’t have to talk - you can share yours in the chat). Then, we’ll go on mute and off camera to dive into our respective projects—working for 45 minutes, followed by a quick break, and another 30 minutes of focused work. At the end, we’ll take a moment to type our wins (big or small) in the chat.
This is a weekly gathering, happening every Wednesday from 2-3:30pm PST. Want to join us?
Sign up for virtual co-working here.

I can’t wait to connect with you.
Hi.
I’m Melissa—writer, coach, breathworker, and a firm believer that every story matters (including yours.)
With over ten years of experience facilitating healing groups, a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, and training as a Clarity Breathwork practitioner, I’ve spent my career helping people unravel their stories, heal, and grow.
As the author of the bestselling Questions You’ll Wish You Asked journal series (with over 20,000 copies sold), I’ve made it my mission to guide people in capturing their legacies, deepening meaning, and navigating life’s messy moments, both in relationships and as individuals. My work has been featured in The Los Angeles Times, CBS, ABC News, and I even caught the attention of Saturday Night Live when an aspect of my parenting went viral!
I love helping women play big, step out, and share their books (or gifts) with the world in ways that feel authentic and real.
When I’m not writing, coaching, or helping others breathe into a breakthrough, you’ll find me having dance parties with my daughters, reading middle grade ghost stories, or browsing an antique store flipping through old photos of people I don’t know (but am making up stories about.)
Whether you’re looking for breathwork, book coaching, group healing work, or personal clarity on your own journey, I’m here to help you tap into your story and create lasting change.
