Hi, I'm Melissa!

Yoga is an invitation. To release the weight of judgements or expectations with a spirit of openness, awareness and self compassion. These are the principles that guide my life and work on and off my yoga mat.
 

With almost two decades of experience teaching yoga and group fitness, I have led a wide range of classes and formats. And  as a birthworker since 2011, I've worked with people in and around the transitions of growing their families as a maternal health activist, a community builder, a prenatal yoga and mindfulness teacher, a birth doula, and a childbirth educator.
 

Beyond my work, I'm a partner (with my husband for almost three decades and counting), the official parent of three amazing grown-up humans, and the grateful bonus mom to some other beautiful souls who have enriched my life and kindly allowed me to care for and mother them along their journeys. Plus a spectacularly adorable fur baby. 🐶

 

I look forward to connecting with you soon!
