Make Sure Your Sound Is Turned ON!



"To get someone into a position of power where they authentically know and trust their movement is extraordinary.

​​When someone gets into that space it's virtually like enlightenment."
~ Lawrence Van Lingen


My role in your journey is temporary: I'll consider my job done when you no longer need help in understanding how to understand and integrate your body's movement cues!

Whether rehabbing an injury, noticing an imbalance, or wanting to improve strength, clients are welcomed to explore the way they move in a safe environment to meet their needs.

Life is a gift. So easily we get tossed in its turmoil of ups and downs, and hell we're human after all, so that's not a punishment, it's expected!

Our path lies in tuning into that pain and using it to heal ourselves.

Back to the basics; learn to pair breath with natural movement, through play to build graceful strength.

Restore basic human movement patterns to recalibrate your body to its natural harmony.

Slinky Spine Classes

In-Person in Squamish, BC, Canada
​at Join Breathworks
​Fridays, 4-5pm PST/PDT

A combination of neural tension release techniques, mobility, spinal decompression and freeing up what doesn't need to be held.

Do you feel disconnected in your body, or like you are holding chronic tension in certain spots?

Have you found yourself stuck in a cycle of repeated patterns that are holding you back?

Do you seek rhythm and fluidity in your sport, and to feel like you have the freedom, knowledge and capability of reaching your full potential?

This class is focused on rebalancing holding patterns that inhibit your freedom of movement.  

Through a variety of movements, I'll invite your nervous system to release holding patterns, and reset itself to your natural harmonious state. A state where the spine is a connected channel of communication between your feet, hips, shoulders, neck and head.

Slinky Spine is an invitation for you to learn how problem solve your movement in the moment as it arises, embody yourself as you learn to move from your center out, and empower yourself as you expand into the freedom of your movement potential.

My job and commute have me driving 3-6 hours daily in a vehicle that is FAR from ergonomic and it was killing my body. The hip/back/shoulder tension was so bad I had pinched nerves and thrown out my back.

​After only two sessions with Melanie to address this, the pain from driving is gone, and, when it flares up occasionally after crazy long driving days, I have the tools to deal with it.

I now have an arsenal of daily movements that eliminate the compacted pressures of driving as well as strategic practices for while I'm stuck in traffic IN the car. Melanie even helped me pad/alter my seat in specific ways to optimize my posture and body position so I can be stacked and aligned WHILE driving.

Working virtually with Melanie has completely shifted my relationship with my body. I can feel my alignment completely changing after years of simply living with chronic back, shoulder and hip pain I can feel ease in my movement and a 90% reduction in pain/discomfort. 

I have loved the option/opportunity to check in with her between sessions to let her know how the movements are affecting me and to get her suggestions and guidance on how I can play differently with the sensations to explore what my body is truly needing or wanting. 

After years of being constantly unable to run because of knee and hip pain I feel ready to begin training with what feels like a new body.

Working with Melanie was a game changer.

I came to her with chronic injuries and nerve pain. She is incredibly knowledgeable and intuitive. She explained things clearly and taught me simple exercises. I had so much relief! Plus, her passion for helping others is so infectious she became my inner cheerleader.

I highly recommend working with her for both immediate and long-term success.

I just had my first meeting with Melanie and I'm amazed at how much difference it's already making in my ankle pain. I came in with some ankle pain that has been bothering me off and on for months and had gotten really bad in the last few weeks.

After one session I'm already feeling and seeing relief and feel like I'm on the path to not only healing but better function and access to a healthy foot and a healthy ankle expanding my mobility range so that I'm not restricted anymore.

She was incredibly personable, and knowledgeable. And it was fun. I didn't necessarily think about that going into it, but it was incredibly fun and eye opening.

Already I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel even though I've just begun the journey and so I'm excited about it, seeing how far we'll come in our time together and I look forward to our next session.
