I had the opportunity to participate in two of Dr. Melanson's sessions, and even as a healthcare and sports professional with a full-time business, I gained invaluable insights. Her real-life examples made her coaching feel personal and relatable, and her workbook was an excellent tool for fine-tuning my practice. I’m already looking forward to participating in her next session and strongly encourage anyone looking to start or optimize their practice to reach out to Dr. Melanson!

Stephanie is a very energetic and knowledgeable speaker that easily adapts her style to fit the group she is speaking with. She uses real life examples and incorporates very usable recommendations along with 'tips and tricks' so that topics discussed can be easily transferred to one's individual use and setting. She is also bilingual so very useful in mixed language settings so that everyone can be included. Looking forward to hearing Stephanie speak again at future events.
