This is threshold work.
Deep accompaniment through seasons of change in faith, identity and business.
Coaching ServicesEvery woman who works with me privately is at a threshold. Something essential is shifting. The old way is no longer working and the new way is not yet clear.
Most coaches offers a framework. I offer both a plan and a companion for what it actually takes to cross your threshold.
Real structure and systems for your business and finances
Real presence in the interior work that makes change sustainable
Attention to what is beneath your words, not just what you are saying
Clear next steps and accountability after every session
That is the combination most coaching is missing. And it is what makes this work different.
Strategy + Witness.

"I have led training programs for therapists for fourteen years. But working with Mellisa this year was a game-changer. She honed in on the exact spots where I needed support, from visioning how I wanted to expand my offerings, to walking me through the strategy and steps to make it happen. She is equally comfortable with big picture as she is with nuts and bolts. She also is incredibly clear and efficient, while holding a space that is warm and inviting."
— Tori Olds, Psychologist and Trainer
“Mellisa has proven to be immensely helpful with strategic thinking and planning, with a consistent orientation back towards long-term profitability. I have worked with many advisors/consultants over the years, and Mellisa is someone who will be on my team for the long haul. The fact that she has started several companies on her own (and exited one) brings an entrepreneurial lens that is very helpful. She knows what it's like to have your own money (or other people’s money) at risk and she takes that responsibility very seriously. I highly recommend Mellisa for any complex project!”
— Mark Hellweg, Founder of Ratio Coffee
what to expect
Real accompaniment. Not just advice.
Coaching is an ongoing relationship, not a single session or a course. Here is how it works in practice.
The Engagement:
We begin with a deep dive session to understand where you are, where you want to be, and how I can help
From there we meet bi-weekly via video call, typically 75 minutes
Between sessions you have access to voice memo and email support
Most clients work with me for 3 to 6 months. The right length depends entirely on what you are navigating and implementing.
The Investment:
Private coaching is a premium engagement. Pricing is discussed on the discovery call based on the scope and duration that will serve you best.
“Mellisa has a remarkable ability to understand the numbers and know when to lean into strategy vs. when to encourage creativity. That combination has made all the difference.”
Corrin Roach, Custom Suit Designer
ready to Begin?The first step is always a conversation.
A free discovery call is the best way to find out if we are a fit. I’d love to hear about the threshold that’s calling your name and how I can help you cross it.
