Hi, I'm Mel

Holistic coach, yoga teacher, and founder of The Aligned Woman.

​

For over a decade, I worked as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, helping women create healthier lives from the outside in. But even as I was guiding others, I was quietly running on empty myself - over-giving, over-performing, and trying to hold it all together.

 

In 2017, everything came crashing down.
Panic attacks. Depression. Exhaustion. Autoimmune Disease. My body made it impossible to keep living out of alignment. That breakdown became my turning point - the moment I began listening to what my body and heart had been trying to tell me all along.

 

I turned toward mindfulness, yoga, and nervous system regulation, not just to heal, but to understand what true alignment really means. Through years of inner work, I found a calmer, more connected way of living - one rooted in self-trust, not self-pressure.

 

That journey inspired everything I do today.

 

Through The Aligned Woman membership, retreats, yoga and private coaching, I guide women through that same process - from burnout to balance, from over-functioning to inner peace. My work blends mindfulness, movement, and emotional awareness to help women reconnect with themselves and create lives that feel grounded, easeful, and deeply true.

 

With over 15 years of experience in holistic health, yoga, and emotional wellbeing, I’ve seen one truth again and again:

 

When a woman comes back into alignment with herself - body, mind, and heart, everything changes.

 

Because this work isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering who you’ve always been.
