Coaching
You've built a life that looks great to others. Now something deeper is asking for your attention.
You've seen Melanie speak or found her online and something landed. That restlessness you're feeling, the sense that the next chapter needs to be about more than performance, isn't a problem. It's a signal.
Melanie works 1:1 with senior leaders and high performers who are ready for transformation that goes beyond the professional. This isn't executive coaching. It's the whole picture: purpose, courage, alignment, and the willingness to cross a threshold most people spend their lives standing in front of.
Trained through Martha Beck's Wayfinder programme (Oprah's Life Coach), meeting ICF ACC standards, and grounded in a career spent navigating the most uncertain environments on earth, Melanie brings a rare combination: the rigour to challenge you and the depth to hold the space when things shift.
What clients come to her for:
-
Navigating major transitions: retirement, career change, loss, and what comes after
-
Building bravery to go after what they actually want
-
Making real use of uncertainty instead of just enduring it
-
Uncovering what feeds their spirit and reorganising life around it
Available as 1:1 coaching, workshops, or retreats.

Filmmaking
In the words of Jay-Z, "Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week."
Melanie is also a filmmaker. Through Imrama Media, the Content and Impact Studio she founded, she works with a global network of creatives guided by a single ethos: Story lights the Way.
Imrama produces films, short and long, for non-profits, news organisations, and founders who understand that the right story, told well, changes everything. If you've seen what Melanie does on stage and want to bring that same power to a content project, this is where that conversation starts.
Melanie's availability is limited. Get in touch with Imrama Media to explore what's possible.
