Your Next Chapter
Starts Here.

Transformational coaching, community, and conversations designed to help you align your ambition with your authentic self — this is where meaningful growth begins.

PRIVATE ADVISORY

Clarity, perspective and strategic support for women carrying real responsibility.

At a certain level, growth is no longer the challenge … decision making is.

What to pursue. What to simplify. What’s no longer working. What the right next move actually is.

This is where Melissa steps in.

Private Advisory is designed for women in business, leadership, and positions of power who want a trusted voice alongside them as they navigate complexity, pressure, growth and high-stakes decisions.

This is not traditional coaching.

This is a high-trust advisory relationship that blends strategic thinking, honest perspective, emotional intelligence and grounded decision-making support.

REQUEST DISCOVERY CONVERSATION

This is a high-trust space to think clearly, challenge your assumptions and make decisions you can stand behind.

Not surface-level coaching. Not generic accountability.

All the fine print:

    • You’re already successful, but navigating a new level of complexity

    • You’re making decisions that impact other people

    • You don’t have many places to think out loud honestly

    • You value discretion, clarity, and thoughtful challenge

    • You want support that goes deeper than surface-level strategy

    • Business strategy and growth decisions

    • Leadership challenges and transitions

    • Capacity, priorities, and energy management

    • Revenue, pricing, and business model refinement

    • Personal and professional decision-making

    • Clarifying what’s actually aligned — and what’s simply familiar

    • Private 1:1 advisory sessions

    • Personalized strategic guidance

    • Honest perspective and thoughtful challenge

    • Support navigating complexity in real time

    • A confidential space to think clearly and make grounded decisions

  • Advisory engagements are customized based on scope and level of support.

    You can likely expect to invest between $1500-$6000 depending on your needs.

    Due to the intimate nature of these engagements, spaces are extremely limited.

BOOK MELISSA

Still curious?

  • My educational background consists of a BA (Psychology) and an MBA with a focus on Organizational Behaviour, both from the University of Manitoba.

    I am also a Certified Life Coach and have additional training in Organizational Change Management and Human Capital Consulting.

    I’ve been corporately employed in a variety of industries within both the public and private sector and have consulted with organizations ranging from 1 employee to global Big 4 Firms. My corporate work ranged from supporting individuals through their evolution (in human resources) as well as the broader organization (change management).

  • All advisory sessions are held on Zoom so you can be based anywhere you have an internet connection!

    The Alliance does meet in Winnipeg on a monthly basis, so you are obviously recommended to be within the surrounding area for this service.

  • I see clients typically on a bi-weekly to monthly basis.

    As such, you are encouraged to pick a bi-weekly day & time slot, and stick to that throughout the duration of your program. Of course we allow for the flexibility of life but the best results are found when we can be as consistent as possible.

  • I offer a pay-in-full option or you can opt to pay for your program in instalments, depending on what program you choose.

    Monthly instalments are charged either via credit card or e-transfer schedule. You will receive an invoice either way.

    Don’t forget: investments into business coaching are a claimable expense on your income taxes!

  • As this is a living, breathing program facilitated by a real human being, there are no refunds once you commit to your program.

    In choosing to show up for yourself and your financial investment, you are contributing to your self-development for life. And that, my dear, is priceless.
