Melanie Starr is a holistic health and wellness coach with a focus on stress management, trauma recovery, nervous system regulation and post-traumatic growth. But this has not always been her path. She began her career more than 30 years ago as a writer and public relations consultant, and has worked closely with Dalhousie Medical School, the Brain Repair Centre, IWK Health, Nova Scotia Health and many other organizations in the fields of advanced education, health care and research, and continues to work as a consultant to the medical school, “on the side.”
Like many coaches and healers, Melanie came to her true purpose through the crucible of trauma. The impact of getting hit by a motorcycle, several high-speed sporting accidents, the sudden death of her brother in the H1N1 pandemic, a long-term high-conflict marriage and devastating divorce, the suicide of her daughter’s best friend in junior high, and a three-year all-out war to rescue her daughter from the grip of severe depression and nearly fatal anorexia, drove her to seek unconventional pathways to healing.
Adding professional expertise to her personal experience in trauma, Melanie embarked on a mission to learn everything she could about the biology of trauma and how to heal from its damaging effects. What she found about the importance of working with the body, breath and mind to regulate the nervous system, mitigate stress and heal trauma dovetailed perfectly with her long experience as a yoga teacher. She is now also a certified rapid results coach, master EFT practitioner, Reiki Master-Teacher, and Soul Realignment practitioner, working with clients at all levels of their being to break destructive patterns, release harmful conditioning, dissolve limiting beliefs, and alleviate physical symptoms, mental overwhelm and emotional pain. As a result, her clients learn how to regulate their nervous systems, elevate their thinking and focus their minds, protect and nourish their personal energy, make empowered choices, and thrive in purpose-driven, authentic lives.
