I help couples and individuals gain clarity so that they are able to explore what it takes to create lasting and fulfilling relationships based on their needs and desires.
HI! I’m mELISSA
If you’re here it is probably because, like me, you recognize the importance of doing the inner work needed to have stronger relationships.
I have always been a romantic. I love rom coms and Harlequins and conversations that begin with “So, I met this guy…”
You can imagine my shock when my husband took what seemed like forever to materialize (that’s a story for another day).
Anyways, as much as I love my husband and as much as I love being married, I quickly realized that I still had a lot of inner work that I still needed to do.
Learning to be a “we” instead of a “me” was not easy. I had to figure out the balance between compromising but not losing myself, being strong but being vulnerable, and being honest but being tactful.
It has been a journey. Sometimes exciting and at other times, downright confusing.
Some days it was a struggle because what I needed was support to explore my emotions, analyze my thoughts and come up with an effective way to communicate. To be honest, I was too afraid or too proud to share what I was truly feeling with my husband.
This is what led me to go back to school to become a certified life coach. I truly believe that individuals who are committed to putting the time and effort into making their relationships work can have the relationship of their dreams.
Does this sound like you?
Your partner is not perfect, but you can admit (grudgingly) that sometimes (rarely) you're not perfect either
You love them but... your spouse can really piss you off. You need time and space to come up with some strategies
You thought you did the inner work needed to become the best version of yourself before you got into your current relationship, but you are quickly realizing that there is more work to be done
You feel like you are losing yourself and you are trying to figure out how to compromise in your relationship without compromising yourself
Some of the things your partner does triggers you but you're not sure why
Different personalities coming together mean different views which can lead to some hard (but necessary) conversations.
