💡 Do you ever feel like you’re giving away all your energy and there’s nothing left for you?

When you’re depleted, your body can’t:
✨ Heal your gut
✨ Calm inflammation
✨ Support restful sleep
✨ Ease stress

So how do we change this?

I was working with a client on shifting core beliefs, and it was transformative. Beliefs are just that—beliefs. When you tune in to what you’re telling yourself and give that part of you what it really needs, everything begins to shift.

🌿 Change your inner language from:
❌ “I’m bad if I don’t do X.”
to
💚 “It’s safe for me to say no and honor my boundaries.”
💚 “I am a good person even when I rest.”

This kind of shift is life-changing—it’s where true healing begins. For me the true transformation has been believing I am a good person when I say "no" so that I can be free from guilt.

If you’re ready for transformation but want support and practical tools, DM me for a free, no-obligation call! 😊 Only 3 spots left on my calendar this month—let’s make space for you.

💩 TMI but real — diarrhea hit me hard.

Tool #1 was vagus nerve work (shared in my last video).
Tool #2? Yellow root tea. 🌿

✨ Antimicrobial
✨ Astringent
✨ Bitter for digestion
✨ Tonifies the uterus

It stopped diarrhea in its tracks and supported me on my period. 🙌

I’m Melanie — I help women stress less, sleep deep & restore gut balance so they can live with joy. 🌸

🌿 Healing isn’t just about supplements and diet—it’s about compassion, connection, and community. My time at Compassion Camp at Earth Haven reminded me how powerful it is to step out of my comfort zone, share from the heart, and be nourished by nature + like-minded souls. 💚✨

✨ I use these principles in my coaching because I know how powerful they are. If you’re feeling stuck, DM me—I’d love to share how I can support you on your healing journey. 💚

✨ That’s me at 4 years old — already holding tension I didn’t yet understand. By college, it had spiraled into severe anxiety, insomnia, and even hallucinations.
💫 So I did something wild: left NYC, moved into a rustic chicken coop (yes, really), and started healing from the ground up.
🌱 Today, I sleep better, feel grounded, and help other women find the same balance in their gut, nervous system, and life. I am not perfect, yet I now have tools. Progress over perfection!

So true. I continue to work on this one. I’m enjoying how as I shift my mindset changes happen in my body. I’ve been playing with the affirmation that “ My body is healing, and I am worthy of love and pleasure now.” ❤️❤️❤️ Have you been working on shifting your mind-set? Is there an affirmation that you are working with? Share below.

Double Fi***ng Shiso & Passionflower for Gut Health & Nervous System Support! 🌿💆‍♀️

✨ Shiso (Perilla Frutescens): This vibrant herb is a powerhouse for digestion and detox. Shiso has a long history in herbal medicine, especially in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Japanese folk remedies. It gently stimulates the digestive system, making it great for bloating, gas, and nausea. Plus, it has mild anti-inflammatory properties that support gut lining repair and overall gut health.

But here’s the real magic: Shiso is also a natural antihistamine. It helps reduce inflammation in the digestive tract, which can often be the source of gut-related discomfort. It balances your digestive fire, improving absorption and making everything run smoother. 🌱✨

🍃 Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata): If your nervous system is on the fritz, Passionflower is here to calm the storm. This dreamy herb is known for its calming, sedative effects, perfect for reducing anxiety, stress, and even helping with insomnia. But it doesn’t just work on the brain — Passionflower also has a deep connection with gut health.

You see, the gut and the nervous system are intimately linked via the gut-brain axis. When we’re stressed, it shows up in the gut. Passionflower calms the central nervous system, which can indirectly ease digestive upset that often arises from anxiety, stress, or nervousness (hello, stress-induced gut issues). It’s like a hug for your mind and your belly. 🧘‍♀️🌸

So, when you’re holding both Shiso and Passionflower, you’re giving your body double support: one for smoothing out the gut and the other for calming your mind and balancing your mood. It’s a full-circle approach to feeling good from the inside out!

Stay nourished, calm, and balanced — body and mind. 🌿💖

Want to know the most important tool that changed my health journey?
It wasn’t a supplement or a diet — it was learning how to support my emotions and nervous system.

For years, I ignored my feelings. No matter how clean I ate or how many protocols I tried, I wasn’t getting to the root of what was really going on. Once I started honoring my emotional needs, everything shifted.

In this video, I’ll show you a simple technique (inspired by Tara Brach) that can shift your mood and your choices in just minutes — no willpower required.

🌿 Want deeper support? I offer free consultations for those dealing with stress, gut issues, or nervous system dysregulation. Let’s bring in the feels so you can get out of your own way — and feel great again.

Mouth breathing is more harmful than you think.

Chronic mouth breathing can lead to fatigue, anxiety, poor sleep, brain fog, and even facial changes over time.

But there’s good news — you can retrain your breath.
Buteyko breathing is a gentle, science-backed method that supports nasal breathing, which:

✅ Boosts nitric oxide production
✅ Improves oxygen delivery to your cells
✅ Reduces inflammation
✅ Balances blood pressure
✅ Increases endurance and mental clarity
✅ Supports deep, restful sleep

Your breath is your body’s built-in medicine — it just needs the right training.

Ready to experience the power of nasal breathing?
Let’s explore how you can breathe better to feel better.

60-80% of experts state that people breathe incorrectly. It blows my mind!

👃 Still breathing through your mouth during workouts, sleep, or when relaxing?

You're clearly not alone — I see it all the time at the gym. Most people don’t realize mouth breathing can actually hinder performance and recovery.

According to Patrick McKeown and the Buteyko Method, nasal breathing — even during exercise — is key.

Here’s why it matters:

🧠 Nasal breathing:

Increases nitric oxide, which opens airways, reduces inflammation, and improves oxygen delivery.

Trains your body to tolerate CO₂ more efficiently — building true endurance.

Keeps your nervous system calmer and more regulated.

🏃‍♀️ Yes, breathing through your nose during intense exercise might feel harder at first — you may even need to slow your pace. But over time, it retrains your system for better resilience, less fatigue, and even improved sleep.

✨ Your breath is a tool. Use it wisely. Start with your nose.

😮‍💨 Still waking up tired… even when you think you're sleeping well?
You might be breathing wrong — and you're not alone. 😬
In this clip, we talk about how mouth breathing can cause:
🔹 Brain fog
🔹 ADHD-like symptoms in kids
🔹 Enlarged tonsils & chronic infections
🔹 Teeth grinding & inflamed gums
🔹 Even strange bony growths in the mouth 😳

Small shifts like mouth taping (around the lips) and cutting out dairy can make a huge difference—because how you breathe changes everything.
