ABOUT MELODY

Raised in the Rocky Mountains, Melody knew from an early age that there is a special connection between people and the Earth. She recalls passionately playing in her grandmother’s garden as a child, and, always a lover of odd things, enjoyed crafting healing kits out of plants and stones.

Just before her high school graduation, Melody experienced a life changing medical trauma that required her to approach life in a different way. A blood clot developed in her brain, and transformed her from healthy, high school athlete to bedridden with limited mobility. In recovery she discovered the practice of yoga, very slowly and quietly, learning to follow her breath in and out. It served as a foundational tool for pain management, and laid the blueprint for future psychological, spiritual, and emotional healing.

Melody attended the University of Utah for her Bachelors degree, then went on to study Hatha Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Shamanic Ritual work in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is a 500 hour RYT with Yoga Alliance, and when not chasing around her toddler and dog, enjoys studying folklore, magick, and playing video games with her husband.
