“I came to breathwork with Melissa without any concrete intentions, but with curiosity, an open heart and mind, and a feeling that my coping mechanisms for anxiety and stress were not entirely working for me. I felt completely seen and heard by Melissa, from the moment I walked into the room.
The pre-breathwork check-in felt like talking to an old friend, and she explained what I might experience physically, and emotionally, which made the experience less overwhelming and unexpected. It's hard to describe the sensations you feel when doing this breathwork, but I found it to be both an in and out of body-like experience, and a deep emotional release. I couldn't tell if I had been doing the breathwork for 2 minutes or two hours, and I felt extremely calm, relaxed, elated, and also proud of myself afterwards. It's hard work, and it feels deeply rewarding when you're done, like having finished a marathon, or a performance.
For me, Melissa's deeply personal follow-up and suggestions before, during and after our session is a large part of what made my experience feel so special, and so tailored to me, and my specific issues. She is such a calming, engaged, smart, intuitive breathwork healer and I highly recommend her.”
