Emotional Intelligence Coaching for Teens and Adults
A regulated person is a gift to everyone else. When leaders are steady, teams thrive. When parents are calm, kids feel safe. When high achievers are focused, they lead with clarity instead of burnout. And when adolescents are balanced, they grow into resilient adults.
“I’ve been navigating a black diamond season of life, personally and professionally, while juggling high-stakes events and performances that I need to deliver upon at the same time. I knew Dr. Melanie from other work and was aware of her strengths: trust, humility, expertise, practical advice, compassion, and heart—an unmatched combo! In our time together, I started treating myself as an athlete and training to live a life full out.
I have high expectations for myself and my life, and I'm high on octane. Yet, Dr. Melanie has given me the tools to train accordingly and find a way to be "content and driven" simultaneously. She taught me the power of recovery, which doesn't always "look" how you might expect.”

Coaching helps you rewire stress patterns so you can think clearly and respond instead of react. The result is sharper focus, emotional balance, and the ability to lead your life with intention.

Speaking
“We sought out Melanie when our 13-year-old daughter began to lose confidence. Until 13, she'd been an outspoken, fearless kid, but she was beginning to shrink into the background. She's enjoyed her time with Melanie and has learned practical tools and exercises to build confidence and help her determine who she wants to become and how she navigates the world/school. We've seen her soar this past year since working with Melanie. She joined the school play, tried choir for the first time and even joined a rock band (as a drummer)!”
