Later earning her Bachelor's degree in English Literature from UCLA, Melissa went on to teach English in schools, then went on to complete her Master's degree in Organizational Psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology, where she began studying energy and positive psychology in the workplace.
After suffering from extreme burn-out from owning and managing several businesses, she turned to yoga for peace, becoming a certified yoga instructor. Her search for joy, inner-peace, and self-love led her to discover the incredible healing benefits of NLP, Timeline Therapy®, and hypnosis; and she now approaches healing from both a mind, body, and energetic approach.
She has been an executive trainer and business consultant for start-up businesses for over 13 years, and specializes in positive mindset coaching, customer service, and building efficient systems for coaches and small businesses.
Combining all of her experience, she brings heart, science, and spiritual connection to her teachings, with a balance of fun, joy, and a no-nonsense approach.
Melissa is based in California and has been trained by the best trainers in NLP, including her husband, Joseph Clough, from the Tad James lineage; as well as training directly with the co-developer of NLP, Robert Dilts, and brings this direct knowledge to her students in a way that they can apply their learning in everyday life and in their coaching practices.
