Wellness Should Be Something You Feel
Not Something You Do


Here, body literacy is the practice. Learning to read your own signals, rhythms, and needs — and trusting what you find. When you do that, the rest follows. Better sleep. Less pain. Stress that moves through instead of settling in. Relationships that feel like connection again. And ownership of your inner life — which changes everything.

  • The [Slow Wellness At Work] workshop was the best I have ever done. I am not a beginer to the concept of mindflness but you taught it in a way I have never experienced before and it made so much sense!

  • GLA [Barrier Lipid) I remember liking the GLA oil last year. But these last few weeks I feel it's become a necessity. In the Summer I'd mostly use it after a night of drinking or after a face mask. But now i'm using it morning and night and my skin looks so nice in the morning and my makeup goes on so smooth!

  • My skin is combination/dry and Melissa recommended I try the GLA Youth Elixir and I love it. It feels more moisturizing in comparison to other face oil products i've tried and leaves my skin feeling soft and glowy but not greasy. I didn't love the scent at first, but quickly got used to it and the pay off is well worth it. I appreciate that it's blended without essential oils to make it safe for all skin types.

    Melany H - Vancouver

  • OMG! Can't live without! This is a multi- purpose weapon for soft and luxurious skin. I have been enjoying it's benefits as a nail cuticle cream, hand cream, foot salve, and i wont lie, I had bad cramps so i even massaged my tummy with it. . Love the scent, its so refreshing but very subdued, the texture is great even for massage. Love the use of Shea, Coconut and Mango oils. This is a serious home run.

    Serena M - Whistler, BC

  • In the class of yours that I attended, I was struck by your presence, your clear instruction, the strength of the class and your ability to hold space and move around the room…

    Emily G - Vancouver, BC

  • I stumbled across the REPLENISH body butter and love everything about it. Any patch of dry skin disappears with this body butter. It's not too greasy and has a wonderful scent that's not too overpowering. I gave several jars of this to friends for Christmas and got them hooked too!

    Alanna V - North Vancouver BC

  • Melissa had me at hello. I was so impressed with her extensive knowledge on self-regulation and mindfulness and the beauty facts and benefits on sustaining healthy skin. She knows EVERYTHING! I could listen to her talk about this subject for hours...

    Samantha - Toronto, On

  • The body butter leaves your skin feeling heavenly with a delicate powdery-floral scent. The hardest part is resisting the urge to use the entire jar in one sitting.

    Amy M - Toronto ON

  • The GLA oil has changed my skin forever. I'm on my 5th bottle and i'm hooked. I've used more face oils then I can count and none of them has made a difference in my skin the way Kunye's has. Since using it I feel like my makeup applies smoother and my skin has a more natrual glow.

    Jessica C - North Vancouver, BC

  • I love this {Pilates} training, training with you has introduced such a difference in the short time we've been together. It seems to protect my body from strain, injury, and fatigue. I have noticed a decrease of pain in places such as my shoulders, knees, and lower back-- fingers crossed eliminated.

    Krista C - West Vancouver

  • From the very beginning I, and everyone else, could tell that Melissa was a natural born teacher. Her strengths are definitely showcased through her strong cues, her ease of flow and her attention to detail. Her passion and care are demonstrated by her meticulous nature and innate sense of what is going on around her, and what is needed from her by her students
