"Melissa has made an enormous impact in my life. For a long time, I had wanted to be someone who practiced yoga but I was always afraid. Having a shoulder injury meant that I would have to learn “modified” yoga and that was challenging. When I was introduced to Melissa more than seven years ago, my life changed. I not only became someone who loved yoga but it also gave me the courage to have my shoulder repaired and now I am able to practice yoga without those modifications. When Melissa moved away and we weren’t able to practice together, I was heartbroken. I did practice eventually with others but her voice, her words and her knowledge of me and of yoga were missed.
I feel like Melissa not only helped me learn yoga but she also listened and helped me through difficult as well as good times in my life. We did stay in touch when Melissa moved and when the pandemic hit, we started practicing again over facetime twice a week! I look forward to every minute. Melissa is able to change her plan for our private sessions depending on how my body and my mind are feeling that day. She always knows what I need and I ALWAYS feel better after our hour together.
If you are looking for someone with an extensive knowledge of yoga, someone who can help you grow in your practice with compassion and kindness, you have found that person."
