Is it time for you to redefine what being a mother means for YOU so you can live a more fulfilled life?
Hi, I’m Melissa and my life used to look and feel a lot like yours does, I’d always wanted to get married, have the two and a half kids, the white picket fence – that whole TV family fantasy.
Once I achieved all this, I’ll never forget waking up two years after my second child was born thinking:
Who am I?
Where did I go?
I’d checked all the boxes but somehow lost myself in the process. Instead of being happy, I felt trapped under my own and society’s expectations of what a mother should look like, be like, do.
At that point, I asked myself:
if I wasn’t fulfilled, how could my children be?
Over the next few years, I sought counselling and coaching. I’d always been into personal transformation, but this was deeper work.
I learned how to set boundaries and take time for myself. I learned to take responsibility for the choices I was making. I learned to ask for help and I let go of the anxiety I’d struggled with for most of my life.
Most importantly, I reconnected with and freed myself.
Today, my relationship with my husband and my children – now ages 10, 7 and 2– has improved significantly.
I’m not perfect but I show up more authentically, I’m true to myself, and I feel good about the way I’m modeling that for my kids.
If you are a woman who wants to:
-
Enjoy life and your family on a deeper level
-
Work and parent guilt-free
-
Get off the hamster wheel of the “to do list” and start enjoying your family more
-
Learn how to prioritize yourself without the guilt
-
Work on progress, not perfection as you balance work and life

Testimonial
"I reached out to Melissa to coach me because I was not carrying out goals very important to me. Melissa helped me identify blockages keeping me from going forward. Once in particular was from guilt I had been carrying for years. My kids father and I were going through a tumultuous separation and I had said things in front of them to him and for years, I carried a burden of how it may have impacted my kids. I didn't even realize how that burden was affecting me and just figured it was my cross to bear. Melissa's empathetic understanding , knowing where a mom is coming from, guided me through thoughtful questions and sharing that revealed to me I was just trying to protect my kids. I was amazed by the release I felt from this awareness. The following week, I took those steps I had been stuck on in creating my own business. Melissa's expertise as a coach will guide you to solutions that will work for you. She did wonders for me and I highly recommend her!"

Why Work With Me?
Imagine waking up one day in 3 months and feeling like you hardly recognize your life because you feel so amazing everyday. You now wake up rested and at peace, your relationship with your partner and your kids is thriving and you finally have time for yourself.
You knew that working with me as your coach would have an impact but you never imagined that you would have so much time to spend with your family, have enough time for yourself and how present you would be able to feel during that time.
This can all be true for YOU.
You’re so tired of feeling like you’re just going through the motions. From the outside looking in, you have all you ever wanted in life: the family, the career, the financial security...and yet you feel like something is missing. You are exhausted and overwhelmed and doing it all.
Including you, you’ve forgotten to even care for yourself.
But you know it’s time to make a change. It’s time to step into what you want, need and have been desiring…it’s time to take control and change things so you can access your inner power and really become your true best self.
