Melanie has been called a miracle worker. She has the ability to take negative situations and create lasting positive
results. A therapist for 17 years and now a business development coach, she has successfully worked with individuals
to transform their lives, their situations, and most importantly, their outcomes. When people are looking for an
opportunity to create a 180 degree turn in their finances, beliefs, business and lives they seek Melanies's acute wisdom
and compassionate touch.
Melanie created a full therapy practice with up to 30 clients a week in a short period of time with little advertising
and no budget. After years of this schedule she took the leap many helping professionals fear and re-launched her
practice free from the limitations of insurance. She was able to revitalize her clients, herself and her income with
a private pay practice.
When personal financial demands increased beyond what her professional practice could provide, Melanie spent more than
one sleepless night contemplating how she could raise her income and have the abundance she knew was possible without
working so many hours trading time for money. Having firsthand knowledge of the struggle so many small business owners
face while charting out a course for prosperity, she knew she could help. First she dedicated herself to creating models,
systems and mindsets that opened up doors of "more" for herself and began to live that everyday. Now, everyday is an
abundance day in her practice and in her life! She uses those same strategies to coach hundreds of other to prosperity
in all aspects of finance, practice building and life. Melanie is a mix of practicality, mindset, spirit, and marketing.
If you have ever wanted to get out from under the limitations of your business and start living your passion and loving
what you do, her coaching is a must!
Melanie received an MSW from The Ohio State University and has served the community for almost two decades successfully
working with children, adolescents and adults. She has worked in Child Protective Services, Community Mental Health,
Group Private Practice and a Cash Only Solo Private Practice. As a result, she has had the privilege of working with
a wide variety of populations and people. This experience has allowed Melanie to stretch her perspective and see the
world from realities that are very different from her own. As a result she has a solid understanding of people.
Melanie also has a love of learning and a passion for natural health. Over the past 20 years, she has completed training
in a variety of integrative healing techniques such as aromatherapy, visualization, energy medicine and energy psychology
(just to name a few). These are some of the tools she utilizes and teaches her clients that they can incorporate into
their daily lives to create powerful shifts.
Melanie's experiences and training afford her the opportunity to work with the whole person, to see life from their
perspective and offer powerful tools that allow them to shift their thoughts and belief systems, expand their
consciousness and enjoy the freedom to create a life they truly love.
She lives in Fredericksburg, VA and has been married to the same wonderful man for 20 years. Together they have a
fabulous daughter and an exuberant Goldendoodle, both of whom offer daily lessons about the joy of being alive.

measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
