Transform your schedule and reclaim your life!
Coaching for…
Working mothers who feel stressed and overwhelmed
knock your goals out of the park and enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard to build…
I’ve developed a planning system that combines proven project management techniques with some of the best coaching secrets in the world to help you achieve your goals and have time for the things that matter…
You can be fulfilled at work and at home!
You did a wonderful job asking probing questions to help me figure out how I could realistically accomplish my goal of wanting to carve out more “quiet/inspirational” time for myself on a daily basis. It was really helpful to walk through things on a step by step basis and figure out the logistics of how to make it work. I also enjoyed hearing about your own experience of what works for you and how you are able to find that time for yourself as well.

Digital Design and Marketing ManagerDoes this sound familiar?
- When people ask you how you’re doing, you respond with “I’m just so busy” or “I’m tired”
- You are working more than 40 hours a week but still aren’t moving the needle on your priorities
- You plan to be ahead of schedule but are consistently finishing up projects at the last minute
- You are constantly distracted when working from home causing tasks to take twice as long to complete
- You hurry your kids to bed so you can get more work done then feel guilty about it after
- You don’t know what you like to do for fun and can’t remember the last time you did anything just for you
- You say you don’t have enough time but you still said yes to another commitment that doesn’t interest you
- You talk about date night but you haven’t made it out of the house in months
Listen, I get it.
Showing up as a rockstar at work everyday while trying to juggle home life is tough. Not to mention, you’d like to have time for yourself as some point.
This season of life is hard.
You should NOT be doing it alone.
Full stop.
There is another way.
It includes support (which every single mother needs right now), and authentic strategies to plan in a way that allows for productive work, play and rest. This is what balance truly is & this is what the next few months could look like for you.
hi, i’m melissa
As a certified Project Management Professional and a breast cancer survivor, I found a way to use my schedule to create peace in my mind, home and life.
Unlike most time management coaches, I’m not going to just give you time management tips and send you on your way. I’m also not going to focus on productivity alone and expect that to solve all of life’s problems.
I use a combination of project management and mindset coaching strategies to help you plan in a way that aligns with your priorities, while also doing the deeply personal work to address the core issues preventing you from being consistent.
With a little bit of tough love and a side of humor, I will hold space for you as you get clarity on what matters most and learn to plan in a way that makes you feel fulfilled at work and at home.
I felt like I was talking to a trusted long-time friend. Melissa, you are an excellent listener! Your tone is very comforting and reassuring. After listening, you were able to ask questions and provide comments that led me to clarity on the root of some concerns mentioned. Finally, the actionable steps and useful tips to plan/schedule make me more confident in the goal that I am working toward.

Some of the big and small topics I cover are:
- Have a home that welcomes you and inspires a sense of peace by simplifying your spaces
- Get quality sleep so you wake up energized and excited for the day
- Carve out time for self care without any of the guilt
- Set firm and healthy boundaries with the people you care for
- Feel confident about your ability to complete your most important tasks each day
- Minimize the amount of decisions you need to make by having a structured schedule
No matter how big or small the topic – each is explored in a deeply personal way that feels authentic and motivates you to keep expanding your comfort zone.
Sound like something you want to explore?
Empathy, clarity, patience, a good listening ear, interpretation, interpolation, revelation, a safe space, professionalism, joy, a sense of calm, genuineness, relatability, strength and support, encouragement to be who I am and yet be all I can be. Melissa was able to draw out laughter, tears, and confessions I didn’t even realize I was holding, fears and dreams and possibilities. I knew I was being heard and she made me feel like I could do absolutely anything, like I was championed and made arrangements to follow up so I don’t get off track. She called me phenomenal but that’s pretty much what she is as well. 12 out of 10 recommend.

- You wake up feeling excited knowing you’re going to make progress on the things that matter most
- You have reignited an old hobby and are loving doing an activity solely for the fun of it
- You are having guilt-free lunches and coffees with friends and coworkers to catch up on life
- Your kids are happier and look forward to sharing the highlights of their day at dinner time
- You don’t mind doing laundry and cleaning your home doesn’t take as much time or energy
- You and your partner are having the best conversations at night before bedtime
- And then you wake back up and do it all over again…
