What called me to do this work?
Life coaching integrated into many roles of my life both professionally and personally. In what began as an inner wisdom I discovered in my youth, while struggling with body image issues, developed to be the catalyst of my evolution as a Life Coach. During a time I hit one of my first-time lows, is when the spirit of my higher self set ablaze reminding me that I held the power fostering the willingness in me to create the solution essential to my self-esteem. I was confronted with a choice to continue having a war with myself or explore solutions that could get me back to reclaiming my confidence. It was then, I endeavored to help others cultivate their inner warrior and nurture their sovereignty.
Credentials & Experience
Assimilating my understanding and compassion for people, regardless of their situation, culminated in pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Human Services gaining in-depth knowledge of the science behind human development and behavior, while learning best practices implemented in social service settings. After 8 yrs. of working directly in social services and witnessing socioeconomic inequalities amongst marginalized people; I decided to further my understanding through the lens of Transformational Life Coaching and its practices, to support people in taking back control of their life.
In my role as a case manager, I assisted individuals and families in impoverished circumstances, experiencing homelessness, or at-risk of becoming homeless, quickly realizing the barriers many encounter through the prevalence of generational poverty, where relying on state/government assistance becomes their only means of survival. In many situations I facilitated, clients expressed a sense of depletion and stagnancy where their day-to-day appointments and program requirements induced the detachment to engage in their journey toward self-sufficiency, along with the absence of support outside of service agencies, left clients with no hope for a future.
“Approximately 16% of the single adult homeless population suffers from some form of severe and persistent mental illness”

I believe-
“We deserve to be kind to ourselves and treat life like an adventure that takes us on a journey toward self-discovery. Along that road, there are moments we face the resistance to release parts of ourselves that no longer align with our greater purpose in life. When you choose to let go and reach the fulfillment of your transformational expectations by putting in the work; you deserve to celebrate yourself to new experiences that complete your transition to Walking In Your Shoes – the best version of yourself.” – Coach Mel
Please don’t hesitate to invest in connecting with your authentic self. For it is those decisions of growth that impactfully change your life. Be WIYS!
Truly,
Transformation Coach Melanie
