Hi, I'm Mel

Melanie has been practicing yoga in 2008, and quickly saw how beneficial it could be. She did her Yoga Teacher Training in 2010, continuing to practice and teach over the years, but in 2013 her spark for learning was reignited thanks to the climbing community in Squamish, B.C.
This lit the path to something that truly inspired her: Yoga Therapy.

Melanie has experienced first-hand just how hard it can be to navigate the medical system, and feeling like there just aren’t enough answers. She is on a continuous journey of healing as she tries to make friends with her autoimmune disorder, and Yoga Therapy has helped her connect with her body so that it doesn’t overwhelm her day-to-day life. Her biggest fear is becoming only her autoimmune disorder, and her hope is to calm her nervous system so deeply that it becomes dormant.
This is her inspiration in helping others – she is hoping to reconnect your physical body to the rest of your Self.
Melanie uses Yoga therapy, myofascial release, breathing practices, mindful movement,
relaxation techniques, and psychoeducation to understand the language of the human body.
Each session is unique, and will reflect only what your body is saying to Melanie! There will always be conversation about where you are in the moment, what your goals are, and using compassion and understanding, the team work makes the dream work!

Students who wish to work beyond the private sessions, can join the Mountain Movement community online or in person in a variety of offerings to stay on track and explore further.

"I am not perfect and I don't know it all - and I like that!"
"I enjoy laughing, so our sessions won’t be dry!"
“I believe we all have an important story to share, even if we don't know it yet. Sometimes part of the story is lost in translation, and moving through the physical form can uncover what is really happening. I’m here to help interpret with you!”
