Growing up in Beautiful Lake Tahoe, Mel's athletic journey took a turn when a shoulder injury halted her softball career during college. Turning adversity into opportunity, she dove into yoga and chiropractic, finding not just physical rehabilitation but also a deeper connection to self. Graduating with a BS in Kinesiology Exercise Science from Cal Poly, SLO, she furthered her expertise by completing her 200 hr RYT training in India in 2017 and earning her Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine from Palmer West in 2022. Mel's passion lies in helping others achieve wellness and self-compassion through yoga and chiropractic to embodying her belief in holistic healing.
