Melissa is in her mid 40’s and has worked in the child protection sector for a little over 20yrs.
During that time Melissa worked directly with children and young people that had been removed from their family of origin. Melissa also worked closely with family of origin, foster carers, sector partners and agency staff. Melissa has a qualifications in social science, youth work, training and assessment, master practitioner of life coaching, NLP, conscious hypnosis, Matrix therapies, and step by step assessments.
Melissa also specialises in relationship, parent and kids coaching. After working in the child protection sector, Melissa saw gaps with mental health support for staff, as well as children and young people and a lack of opportunities for all people to learn coping strategies for regulating emotions and changing states.
Melissa has 20+yrs of professional experience dealing with trauma, sexual abuse, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, gambling, social isolation, anxiety, depression and loneliness, as well as lived experience.
Melissa is passionate about helping people see their full potential, seeing their own super powers and how many choices they have in life, and guiding people to feel they are in control while living their lives intentionally, not on auto pilot.
