"I started sleep coaching with Melissa because I couldn’t sleep at all. I’d been having sleep problems issues most of my life and recently it became acute when I had 4 or 5 days with no sleep at all and nearly crashed my car. The process of having a coach meant I was being monitored as an individual rather than a one size fits all approach. This helps get to the source of what mental patterns are causing your sleep disturbance and the techniques help you to let go mentally and physically and relax. I now have a better sense of humour, am able to coordinate listening and writing better, and I sleep very well." 

"Hi everyone! I had a sleep problem for almost a year. I suffered from insomnia and used to wake up many times during the night. I had a lot of anxiety during those months. With the help of Melissa´s workshop and the 12-week program, now I can get a full night's sleep. My favourite parts of the program were the relaxation techniques, the day and night routines, and the daily grateful list! I highly recommend this program! Melissa will give you all the support you need to get back to your peaceful sleep. Thank you Melissa for all your support!" 

"My sleep issues were set off by the stresses of motherhood and many years of sleepless nights. I began seeking help 7 years ago. Melissa was different because her level of understanding was reached from personal experience. I now have effective strategies to bring myself back when the stresses of life affect my sleep. If you’re like me and feel that you really have tried everything and all hope seem to be lost, have faith! Trying one more time by working with Melissa will change your life!"

"For around a year I’ve had difficulty falling asleep and would often have 3-4 nights a week where I couldn’t fall asleep at all. I was feeling really helpless and didn’t know what to do to fix the problem. I decided to do Melissa's 12-week online course plus the coaching which I’ve just finished and I can say that it has definitely helped my sleep. I would say I’m 80% better than when I first started and it’s the best I’ve slept in a year. I feel far less anxious about going to bed and much more stable emotionally and mentally. I can’t thank Melissa enough for how much she has helped me! If you’re struggling with your sleep I would highly recommend doing her program. Thanks again, Melissa!" 

"After over 30 years of very poor sleep quality and only getting 3 to 4 hours a night of broken sleep my health was really suffering. I attended a medical appointment and the dietician suggested that I needed to fix my insomnia before we looked at anything else.  She recommended Melissa.  After my initial consultation, Melissa suggested that I combine the online course with one on one meetings. Initially, I thought this may be overkill but bit the bullet and signed up as I was desperate to find something that worked. This was the best decision I have ever made! Melissa customises the one-on-one sessions to meet your needs and to find the best way to help and support you.  That combined with the online sessions to support this has been life-changing for me.  I have not only doubled the hours I now sleep, but I can also fall asleep much more easily and when I wake in the night can fall back to sleep almost immediately.  This has not only improved my digestive issues it has also reduced my stress and my resting heart rate is at a much more healthy level.  I cannot thank Melissa enough, her knowledge and expertise far surpassed my expectations and she has helped me fix something I thought could not be fixed. "

"Before working with Melissa my sleep was very inconsistent. I would wake up in the middle of the night or struggle initially to get to sleep and I was unable to get to sleep at all some nights. Some days I would be going to school on 3 hours of sleep which didn't help me at all.
I started sleep coaching with Melissa in the last few months of year 12. The sleep techniques started working nearly immediately, and within a few weeks I was starting to sleep better. Now my sleep is far more consistent than it was before, I very rarely if at all wake up during the night, I get to sleep earlier and naturally wake up earlier so I’m able to get more things done during the day. I just had my year 12 exams and it helped me relax a lot more. I can comfortably say coaching with Melissa has improved my positivity, my outlook on life, and my results in year 12 exponentially. My sleep is great and I’m a much happier person."

"I would like to start this testimonial with a huge thank you to Melissa, for her wonderful sleep program. This is a program that truly helps in all aspects of your life. Melissa has the calmest manner and voice which truly sets the scene for relaxing. Melissa teaches the way to relax the body and mind for sleep and it is very easy to adapt to everyday life.
I could not recommend Melissa enough to anyone suffering from sleep and stress problems, she truly is amazing and without her guidance and help I know I would still be struggling with sleep instead of sleeping well as I am now. Melissa seems to have the most perfect gentle way to help you sleep well again, a beautiful soul sent to teach."

"I found Melissa after trying just about every natural treatment for insomnia. I was truly at my wit's end and exhausted after many years of poor sleep, including being up for the day from 3am/4am. Melissa taught me how what I do in the day time  - not just before bed - had a huge impact on my sleep. She had me delving deep into my beliefs around sleep and looking at the 'busyness' that kept my body and mind in overdrive. The techniques were easy to learn and implement and it's great to be able to use them when I wake in night.  The 3 am wake-ups for 2 hrs are few and far between now. Thanks, Melissa!"

"I hadn’t been sleeping well for 10 years. I started practicing the techniques about 6 months ago and did a few workshops and then a sleep retreat with Melissa and I am now sleeping deeply for 7 to 8 hours per night. The proof is in the pudding. The sleep techniques Melissa teaches work. One has to put time aside, 10 minutes four times a day, to practice relaxation techniques. For me, they worked and I’m very grateful."

"I worked with Melissa to help me when I found myself having some issues with sleep. Using the Sounder Sleep System™ I was able to get back to my usual sleeping pattern and now feel great. Melissa was a fantastic source of advice and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who has been in my position. If you have never had issues with sleep, you will never know how much a lack of sleep can affect you."

"For me, it can be a challenge to wind down before sleep if I have had a particularly eventful or stressful day. At other times, I may wake up in the night and lay awake for ages, subsequently feeling tired the following day. Training with Melissa I learned some very useful techniques. Now I find that I can now go to bed at night with the knowledge that if I do wake up, I can easily bring myself back to sleep again. This peace of mind in itself makes it easier to get into a relaxed state prior to sleep. Thank you Melissa for your help."

"Melissa is a kind, compassionate person who really assisted me at a time of sleep deprivation and stress. She taught me some invaluable skills to facilitate relaxation throughout the day to increase the chance of a good night's sleep, as well as those to help at night. I attended one of her workshops and it was so good that I fell asleep for a good proportion of it at a time when I was unable to do so! How grateful I was at the end of that afternoon."

"I have had sleep problems for many years and with Melissa's gentle, natural and practical approach  I am now in a much better place!  These techniques help relax the mind and body which is a key element to a better night's sleep.  Thank you, Melissa. "

"After just one workshop and one private session with you, I just wanted to let you know that I have been having the best night's sleep that I've had in maybe 14 years. I have only had one disturbed night. Thank you so very much. It's making such a difference for me. My energy is back 100%. What a difference! Bless you, Melissa!"

"Melissa is very knowledgeable and passionate when it comes to sorting out sleep issues. I found her techniques to be an invaluable asset in getting an optimal nights sleep. I think most people appreciate what a difference a good nights rest makes. If you are having issues, you could do a lot worse than seeing Melissa. I would even go as far as to say that I am a better-adjusted person having known her. It doesn't hurt that she has a rather soothing voice either, well adapted for this line of work. Oh, and she is an excellent yoga instructor too."

"I have had occasional sleep issues, but when I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undergo chemotherapy, being able to sleep well became even more important. I signed up for Melissa’s workshop and am so pleased I did. The workshop in itself was a treat, with a variety of relaxation techniques and just enough knowledge to understand the tricks it takes to have a good night's sleep.Two days later, I had another dose of chemo with the usual accompanying steroids, which makes it really hard to sleep but I slept! Now I go through the motions I learnt from Melissa and no longer panic when I wake up in the middle of the night thinking I might never sleep again - I relax and sleep again, a beautiful 8-hour rest which has helped me to recover and heal my body in a wholesome way."

"I came to this sleep retreat quite exhausted and I found it to be a wonderful combination of restoration and relaxing. The food and the atmosphere here is just so nurturing and I am going back feeling very, very energised. I am feeling very grateful for the chance to just unwind and to learn some very simple skills that are easy to incorporate into every day so that you can improve your sleep during the night time and find relaxation during the day time. I’ve learned so much and given my body a wonderful present these last few days, it’s been just fantastic."

"I desperately needed to step away from everything, I didn’t realise how much I did until being on this retreat. My level of sleep and relaxation has gone up another level. Just incorporating the wholesome food and the bodywork and the sleeping techniques Melissa has taught us has been absolutely beautiful and it’s definitely put things in perspective for me. I’m taking this back home to make sure I take time out for myself and now I have the techniques to do that. So Namaste Melissa, thank you."
