Guiding ambitious women to sustainable joy, peace and freedom

Hi I’m Melanie!

I’m committed to creating a culture of well-being. As a leadership consultant and well-being coach I help women leaders to unlock their full potential. With a tailored and values-centric approach, my clients are empowered to embrace authenticity, foster confidence, resilience, and courage to navigate challenges effectively.

 Drawing upon my diverse background, I enable women to lead with impact, creating a positive ripple effect within their teams and organizations – and families. My focus on enhancing communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills drives measurable results, fostering environments conducive to growth and success.

 My transformative coaching journey involves self-discovery, amplifying self-awareness, and emotional intelligence, and empowering clients to reshape their internal narratives to gain agency.

 My dedication to empowering women extends beyond coaching, reflected in my advocacy roles at esteemed organizations like the YWCA of Metropolitan Chicago and CASA of Cook County. I’m a certified Positive Intelligence Coach with comprehensive training from the Co-Active Training Institute and The Somatic School.

An accomplished author, I penned "Radical Love: Your Path to Freedom and Bliss" and hosts the inspirational podcast "She Chose Joy."

If ‘being strong and doing it all’ is weighing you down, you’re in the right place. I’m here to help you do less, redefine strong, realign your values, and reimagine success without guilt or compromising your well-being.

Working with Melanie has enabled me to honor my feelings and emotions. It’s forced me to challenge myself, to create space and prioritize ME!
— Ashanti, Attorney
I’ve had an awakening. Melanie helped me discover my truth and own who I am, and I’m unapologetic about it now. As a mom, I’ve learned to put more of the focus on myself, and have given myself the permission to do so.
— Marie, CFO
Many black women have not figured out how to make themselves a priority, working with Melanie can help you do that. Melanie is very clear, and always emphasized that you have to make yourself a priority.
