About


Welcome! 

 I'm Melanie, a certified Catholic Mindset, Temperaments and Strengths Coach living in southeastern Pennsylvania, homeschooling and raising 8 beautiful children.

I've been happily married for over 30 years. I'm grateful for my family and blessed to have been in marriage ministry for most of my married life: Pre-Cana, leading retreats, teaching NFP, giving talks, co-hosting the Catholic Marriage Summit and co-founding the EPIC Intimacy program.

With my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) and a passion for helping women rediscover joy in all areas of their lives and marriages, I’m here to walk with you in any season of your life and marriage.
 
Blending faith-based guidance with practical strategies, mindset work, and assessments, I help you transform your life and relationships from where it is now, to where you want it to be: struggling to good, good to great or great to holy!
 
I truly believe you are the expert in your life and relationships (even if it doesn’t feel like it), and I would love to help you uncover the grace, healing, and fulfillment God desires for you in the areas you are struggling.

Testimonials

Only by the grace of God, I committed to sessions with Melanie. I hesitated for many years until it was undeniable that I needed guidance. When I was ready to be vulnerable, trusting and cooperating, God led me to Melanie. In just the first 3 sessions, I felt trust, care and confident under her guidance. She prepared me well and was clear with all communication. I desired to learn about me and not how I could change my husband or anyone else. And that’s exactly where we started. Thank you for being a part of my journey, Melanie. God is good.-

I am so grateful to Melanie for her valuable services as a marriage coach! Her prayerful sessions led by the Holy Spirit and The Blessed Mother have enabled me to have hope in a desperate marriage situation. She has guided me and led me to tools that I can use to help me continue to gain a more loving and intimate relationship with my husband! I am so blessed to have her prayers and support as I have experienced much peace from my sessions with Melanie and positive responses from my husband. I thank God that He put on Melanie's heart the desire to want to train to be a Catholic Marriage Coach and help to heal troubled marriages like mine.

- Joyce, PA

My time with Melanie has been fruitful right from the start. The disposition she takes during our sessions is one of prayerful understanding and always with a humble approach. I sincerely appreciate working with someone who so clearly sees marriage as the wonderful sacrament it is. Melanie asks thoughtful questions that help me better understand life's challenges so that I can learn how to "accept the things I cannot change, have the courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." Because of my work with Melanie, I now feel like I have real tools to build a healthier and happier marriage and family life. I can't tell you how grateful I am to have found a life coach whose invocation of the Holy Spirit has allowed her to work wonders in my life.

I HIGHLY recommend working with Melanie!!! It is absolutely worth your time!! In just a few sessions, she helped me overcome thoughts, behaviors, and problems in my marriage (of 27 years) that I had been unable to make any progress in before. She is kind and patient, has so much wisdom and is a very gifted coach. Your marriage will be very blessed through this work! I heard Melanie on the Metanoia Catholic Podcast. I felt that I could benefit from some marriage coaching and I contacted her right away. I had several issues in my marriage that I had been trying to work through for many years with very little resolution. I saw instant improvement in the areas that I had been stuck in for many, many years! She showed me the source, trajectory and lack of complete truth of the thoughts that were behind my issues and helped me formulate new, true thoughts that have resulted in a happier more unified marriage. Don't wait another day to contact her! You'll be so happy you did.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Catholic Mindset Coaching?
With Catholic Mindset Coaching we examine the falsely held beliefs and thoughts that are holding us back from experiencing all the graces we're meant to have. Mindset work helps us reclaim the area of our hearts, minds, and bodies from the Evil one so that we can become people capable of restoring God’s kingdom by starting with our own lives.

Secular mindset coaching uses similar cognitive behavioral coaching methods, but its effectiveness is limited by the view that human's brains are the source of change. As Catholics, we know we must rely on God and His Grace to know Truth and to pursue the Good (God). Catholic coaching consistently invites the Holy Spirit into our coaching sessions to strengthen our intellect, and inform our will, and lead us to live out joyful lives.
What is the difference between coaching and therapy?
Simply put, the client sets the agenda with a coach and the coach works with the client to achieve their goals. A therapist typically makes a diagnosis and sets a plan for healing. Therapy is typically trauma focused while coaching is present and future focused. It's not unusual for a client to have both a coach and a therapist as they pursue their goals.
Do you coach couples?
