About Us

Melissa turned to yoga after a spinal injury years ago. Initially seeking physical relief, she returned for the mental and spiritual growth it brought her. She completed her 200-hour yoga training at kRtajJata yoga school in Raleigh, NC, and specialized in yoga nidra, children's yoga, energy healing, and reiki. In 2021, she earned her prenatal yoga certification and trained to lead Y12-SR classes. She has attended workshops by renowned yoga teachers such as Seane Corn, Jonah Kest, and Jesamyn Stanley, and has led various training modules in the Raleigh/Durham area, including reiki programs, chakra studies and trauma awareness. Currently, she is finishing her trauma stress studies with the Trauma Research Foundation and has taught over 1,000 yoga classes. Melissa aims to cultivate community in her classes, inviting everyone to explore their potential on and off the mat while honoring their inner guidance. She offers private, group, and event classes, along with personalized goddess healings and intuitive coaching. She also is a Registered behavior technician and in the process of obtaining her pilates certification.
