Hello! My name is Melissa and it brings me joy to share and explore mutually beneficial ways we can work with the Earth. In 2021 after receiving a certificate from The Natural Healing Institute of Naturopathy, Inc., I launched a holistic health service with nutritional consulting and yoga sessions that combines both the clinical and scientific with a traditional holistic and energetic approach.

Over the last decade and a half, I’ve witnessed how preventive care through mindful breathing, connecting to the Earth, nutrient dense whole foods and diet approached as díaita  or ‘way of life’, can heal chronic conditions and restore vitality. Consultations and yoga offerings respect each person and their unique constitution as resilient instruments capable of homeostasis. Not in a static way, but in ways that acclimate to the ebbs and flows of life.

The Mādhava Unite Podcast available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify is exploring through community-based outreach how modern regenerative/organic farming practices, yoga and nutrition contributes to overall planetary health and well-being. 

It’s essential to nourish our institutions and keep the dialogue of holistic living open and resourceful as we navigate through ever-changing planetary conditions. I look forward to uniting on this path with you.

Mādhava is a sanskrit word and one name for Vishnu or the all-attractive preserver aspect found in the Hindu pantheon.  Vishnu, along with Brahma the creator, and Shiva the destroyer, are the three holy or holistic concepts apart of the Trimurti or Holy Trinity that symbolize our cyclical nature of existence from birth, preservation, and destruction to our then embedded regenerative abilities.

As the sweetness of a flower attracts the bee to fertilize, as the seed then develops to hold within it anew possibility, so too are we pollinating great change from the knowledge gained and shared of our diversified life experiences. So too are we remembering our role, interconnected-ness to the whole of existence, and what it means to unite.  

“The yoga classes offer a well rounded exploration into the profound benefits of the practice. For someone who doesn’t necessarily practice a lot of yoga exercises, I found them extremely beneficial for my overall health. There is something for everyone in these classes to practice and they are not to be missed!”

“Melissa is such a delight to work with and has provided me over the years with such useful information about the benefits of specific foods which have in turn reduced inflammation in my body. The different yoga positions and stretches have also made a positive difference in how I feel and move. I am truly grateful for all her knowledge and expertise.”

“Working with Melissa is very inspiring and pleasant. Turns out, eating beef, chicken, and eggs were harmful for my health and she not only supported me to quit, but her passion for nutrition is contagious and motivating! I highly recommend getting a chance to work with Melissa and all of the Madhava Unite offerings.”

“I was having the worst breakouts on my skin from out of nowhere and Melissa recommended some nutrient dense foods, herbal supplements, and a liver detox that I ended up giving a shot. The liver cleanse was particularly helpful and I feel such a difference. My stomach became less bloated and I have since started taking milk thistle —which is my absolute favorite now. My skin also cleared up over time. These recommendations I plan on making more of a lifestyle. Thank you!”

"Melissa's adjustments to poses make a world of a difference. She can eloquently speak to the philosophical aspects of yoga beyond asana athletics. I have a lot of knee and wrist issues and Melissa was able to guide me on how to practice in a safe and grounded way. It is especially important for new yogis to learn the basics of alignment and breath, so Melissa can definitely break it down for you. She introduced me to Holy Basil tea which is now my favorite! Thank you so much and until next time."

"I tried yoga a couple times in college so I am definitely at a beginner level. I loved how Melissa tailored the class for beginner and advanced levels. She talked through poses and transitions while reminding me of the breath. The class was educational and relaxing. I still have not fully recovered after receiving the covid-19 vaccines. After months of doctor appointments for brain fog, body aches, and fatigue, my doctor recommended yoga. I woke up the next day after yoga class with a clear mind and no heavy body aches for the first time in months. Yoga changed my life and I am thankful to find a natural remedy. I highly recommend for remote or in person classes. Thank you Melissa!”

“I have been practicing yoga for 17 years and had many great teachers. It is clear Melissa has vast knowledge of both the physical aspects of yoga as well as the emotional nuances. I had a significant back injury a few years ago that unfortunately kept me off the mat. Crossing paths with Melissa has given me new inspiration to find my practice again. She has a wonderful ability to feel the practice in her body. For this reason, I believe the pacing and choice of words in the postures are genuine and safe. I am blessed to have the opportunity to continue practicing with Melissa as part of my home practice."
