Mel began her work as an educator in 2012. Since then her coaching and mentorship footprint has spread to 10 countries across the globe, where she’s trained thousands in person and online.
She has trained 30 mindfulness and meditation teachers as well as attuned 100+ master energy healers.
Melissa’s passion for wellness and personal empowerment took root in the founding of a local community development initiative called “Just Breathe”. Since 2017, they have served more than 3000 people at their Free LIVE in person community events.
In 2019 her community development work saw Melissa being invited to travel to Rutgers University in the United States as a Mandela Washington Fellow.
In 2024, she was invited to be a guest speaker in the prestigious Conscious Life Trauma Super Conference and was invited back to participate in their Optimal Energy Conference as well.
She is also the Founder and CEO of PR, Marketing & Creative Solutions Company, Nica Creative.
Melissa describes herself as an irreverent optimist and student-teacher to the core whose work is geared toward a singular goal:
“The Activation of Human Potential to the Betterment of Us All.”
In the short-term Melissa hopes to co-design and pilot simple, culturally-appropriate breath work, movement, resilience and personal empowerment interventions for grassroots level communities in Namibia that encourages the internal co-creation, participation and eventually autonomous facilitation of the program.
Upon evidence-based proof of concept, her dream is to leverage the vast Mandela Washington Fellowship alumni network in order to adapt this intervention for the rest of Africa such that it both supports and leverages our diverse continental landspace.
"This series of workshops was an unexpected deep journey of self discovery and healing. Through an expert and intuitive combination of group discussions, energy healing, breathwork, ceremony, ritual and movement the experience was nothing short of transcendental.”

"I’ve had the great joy to work with Mel as her student and as a co-facilitator on my own courses.
On my own path, Mel’s gentle yet powerful guidance through her Breathwork sessions helped me release years of trauma and limiting beliefs. I’ve never felt more connected to myself and my inner peace. Each session allowed me to go deeper into my healing journey, feeling safe and supported throughout.
As a co-facilitator, Mel brought magic into my container, where she helped my coaching clients, feel - probably for the first time in a very long time. It was absolutely beautiful to witness.
I look forward to collaborating and learning from Mel, for many years to come.”
