Melanie works with you to build a practice that fits your body and your life — helping you move well, recover well, and find more quiet in a busy mind.
I'm Melanie — a certified yoga teacher and reiki practitioner. But not so long ago, I was a Human Resources Director in San Francisco, living a life built around other people's expectations. It took moving to the jungles of Costa Rica to realise that almost everything I had been striving for wasn't mine — it belonged to the version of me that society had shaped.
That unravelling changed everything. As I moved closer to who I actually am, the anxiety that had quietly run my life began to loosen its grip. I stopped performing and started living.
Based in Utrecht, I offer classes, workshops, and private sessions that weave together mindful movement, breathwork, and somatic healing. Because I know what it feels like to be disconnected from your body, to live in your head, to ache for stillness you can't seem to find — my approach is gentle, curious, and deeply personal.
Whether you're working through stress, finding your way back to yourself, or simply craving a little quiet — I've been there. And I'm here to hold space for wherever you are.
Melanie uses a customized combination of Yoga, Myofascial release, Breathwork, and Reiki — drawn from each modality in proportion to what your individual body and circumstances need. No two sessions are alike.
Every offering is crafted with care and intention — whether you're joining a group class, attending a weekend workshop, or experiencing the quiet magic of a reiki session.
Immersive experiences exploring themes like yoga for anxiety and stress, self-massage using tennis balls and seasonal practices. Open to all levels.
One-on-one sessions tailored entirely to you — your body, your pace, your goals. Ideal for beginners or those with specific needs.
A gentle energy healing session that promotes deep rest and nervous system regulation. Fully clothed, hands-on or off.
