ABOUT ME

Hey there! I’m Melissa.
I’m a wife, mom of two, and life coach based in Apple Valley, MN. I grew up in Illinois and Iowa, then moved to Minnesota for college—and fell in love with the Twin Cities life.

I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology, a master’s in marriage and family therapy, and a certification in perinatal mental health. I’ve spent the past fifteen years working in the mental health field, and now I use that experience to support moms who are navigating the messy, beautiful, and sometimes overwhelming seasons of motherhood.

After going through postpartum struggles with both of my kids (who are now 9 and 7) and learning how to manage ADHD while parenting, I know firsthand how hard it can be to take care of yourself while taking care of everyone else. My coaching style is honest, down-to-earth, and full of compassion—with a healthy dose of humor and real talk.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me using sarcasm as a love language, laughing at dark humor, or rewatching my favorite shows for the millionth time. I’m so glad you’re here, and I hope you find the support and encouragement you’ve been looking for.
