awake the light within
Helping people & organizations create soulful transformations
Are you longing for more?
More meaning. More purpose. More clarity. More depth, fullness and joy in your life.
Thriving or surviving?
Are you so busy with the ‘doing’ of life, there is little room for the ‘being?’ Have you achieved success, yet find yourself in a place that feels gray or unfulfilling? Are you beginning to sense there is something more for you in this life?
This is the invitation.
Our lives are constantly speaking to us. Inviting us to go further, look deeper and live more truthfully. To walk the path to become our highest, truest and fullest expression of self.
Let’s partner & explore together!

Greetings! I’m Melissa, a leadership coach and healing practitioner, and I partner with people and organizations to create soulful, purpose-infused transformations.
I spent the first 20+ years of my career working as an education and development leader at several globally operating public and private sector organizations. In my early 40’s I began to feel a shift happen inside me. The ‘whispers’ I had been ignoring for years had now become full on thumps to the head and I realized I had to make a change. I left a 20 year partnership, and a career that had started to feel like an itchy sweater that was two sizes too small. For the first time in my life, I allowed myself to more fully explore the call of my own soul. I pursued what lit me up inside, and traced familial lineages that led me into greater depths of healing and union with myself and my ancestral roots. I also stepped into the role of healing practitioner—a birthright passed down to me from a long line of grandmothers.
Today, it is my greatest joy to live into my purpose—which is to walk alongside others as they journey to awake the light within!
