I’ve only had one session so far with Melanie, but I fell in love right away! She’s so amazing, honest, direct, and helps me focus my thoughts! She’s been so helpful and my perspective has shifted significantly in just our first session. I’m so looking forward to our future sessions and developing into the best version of myself possible with her support!
