She has shoulder-length blonde hair and wears a black blouse, representing a calm, approachable presence aligned with her work in relational healing and nervous system regulation.

A certain day became a presence to me;

there it was, confronting me — a sky, air, light:

a being. And before it started to descend

from the height of noon, it leaned over

and struck my shoulder as if with

the flat of a sword, granting me

honor and a task. The day’s blow

rang out, metallic — or it was I, a bell awakened,

and what I heard was my whole self

saying and singing what it knew: I can.

I am deeply deeply grateful for our work together. Looking back to this time two years ago feels…so damn long ago, feels unrecognizable in all the best ways. I find myself freer, lighter, happier, more skilled and more confident. I find myself myself for the first time in ages (and in some ways, ever). I want to honor and thank you for your support of the past 2 years. Without our work, I’m not here. My relationships, old and new, are nowhere near as healthy and mutual. I wouldn't have any idea what the hell I want for myself.

My time working with Melissa has been nothing short of life-changing. For the past 20 years I have been battling chronic pain and a host of other health issues that lead to a breakdown leaving me severely compromised, unable to do many of the things that bring me joy. In a short time Melissa was skillfully able to help me find out what was getting in the way of my healing. Melissa was a perfect guide in diving deep into my past and childhood traumas and gently connecting them with present moment problems and situations. Shortly after beginning to work with her I started to feel noticeably calmer and with less pain. Melissa provided me with the path and tools to navigate my current emotional states with more ease and balance. Currently, I am back to an active lifestyle as a Mother, musician and surfer. Melissa Taylor and NARM were the key missing pieces to my healing puzzle.

There is a before and after Melissa. Before my work with Melissa, my life was often run by a relentless inner critic who didn’t miss a beat to tell me how everything was my fault and I didn’t have any value. Guilt, shame and numbness were part of my soma and emotional bodies. After Melissa, there is a lot more softness, acceptance and an ease that allows me to breathe and connect to my feelings more deeply, with less judgement and more self-love. The transformation has been significant in how I relate to myself and how I relate to those around me.

The work Melissa and I did together was profoundly transformative, absolutely necessary, and foundational for my growth to further. Together, Melissa and I worked on authenticity and the boundaries to love others and myself well. Her support, faith in me, and willingness to ask the hard questions, was essential for me to develop trust in my intuition, my sense of knowing, and awareness of my own need. In every interaction, when I felt shame, I was met with joy, a true sense of her being glad to be with me in my hardest times. She believed in me and helped me to believe in myself in the circumstances I was in. I am stronger, more authentic, and aware of what I need because of our work together. And she is genuinely a complete delight to work with!

I have been a professional, developmental, career and life coach myself for 15 years, and in my experience Melissa is a very capable coach and trauma informed NARM practitioner. Among the many aspects of the quality of attention and way of being that I appreciate and value in her, perhaps the most important for me personally is her broad understanding and ability to relate to me across a wide variety of contexts: from working with emotions, to exploring the history of human thought, to relating to the body and physical world, to rational business thinking, to meditation and spirituality. In selecting a coach, I want someone who not only can go with me into each of these, but who also has the dynamic in-the-moment intelligence to explore interconnections between them with me. Melissa is such a person, and to an extent that I rarely experience.

Rarely does insight, connection, depth, the ability to work across multiple domains and in the moment agility meld into a beautiful coaching experience. Melissa creates that exquisite container in which transformation becomes possible. Not only is she a skilled integral coach, she is a deeply intuitive NARM practitioner. Melissa's intellectual curiosity, passion for service and innate abilities to hold others makes working with her an exceptional experience. She is fearless! As an executive coach, leadership developer and accelerated learning trainer of over 40 years, I have rarely met talent and ability like Melissa's.

Melissa is like a midwife for your soul. Her gentle guidance and compassionate support was exactly what I needed for my journey. It was like a short cut to the harmony I was looking for in my life. I have a deeper connection with the ones I love, and carry a peace with me that I found there. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in need of her service.
