Melt Classes Paused

  Hello MELT family,   I will be pausing my MELT classes due to necessary family medical leave and will be in Washington State to help during this period.  Some unknowns exist regarding the timeline, but I anticipate this schedule interruption will be in place until the end of May.    I am very sad for any inconvenience this may cause.  I will be available via email for questions and potentially some zoom sessions should there be interest - please reach out and stay in touch!  In the meantime, I encourage you to check out the many online materials available on YouTube.  Sue Hitzman is a fabulous instructor and the founder of MELT, and she is very generous with free resources.  You can check out the MELT YouTube videos here: Free MELT Playlists   Alternatively, MELT on Demand is a paid subscription that I use and highly recommend; it is well worth a gander.  If you purchase the service -or any MELT products- through my ...

Some have even called today Blue Monday —a low point for mood and motivation. The causes are complex, but the body plays a role, and fascia is part of the story .   Stress doesn’t just live in thoughts. It can embed into connective tissue , tightening breath, weighing down posture, and feeding the nervous system signals of fatigue. Over time, fascia can amplify mid-winter blues: sluggish energy , low mood , restless sleep .   MELT supports both fascia and the nervous system. Compression restores hydration, shear eases tension, and lengthening reawakens circulation. These simple practices don’t erase stress, but they change how the body carries it. Shoulders soften...
