In August of 2020 several months into the global pandemic, She took on a new role as a mother, which has been the hardest but most fulfilling role to date. In June of 2022, She was diagnosed with a Desmoid tumor which took a huge toll on her mental health, mostly driven by all the advocating she had to do for herself in finding answers and so many unknowns about this rare tumor she developed. she had a very difficult time navigating postpartum and beyond until she found breathwork and Kundalini Yoga. in 2023, she received her kundalini yoga certification from the ra ma institute in nyc and has showed up daily for her own self practice. she has always been inspired and motivated to learn and do more. she dove into inner work with therapy and reading more about healing, trauma, emotions and the mind body connection. breathwork has helped her to heal and regulate her nervous system.

melissa loves learning and feels it is a privilege to hold space for you while guiding you through the magic of breathwork & sharing the kundalini yoga technology.
