Melissa is very knowledgeable and passionate when it comes to sorting out sleep issues. I found her techniques to be an invaluable asset in getting an optimal night's sleep.

I have had sleep problems for many years and with Melissa's gentle, natural and practical approach I am now in a much better place!

I hadn’t been sleeping well for 10 years. I did Melissa’s training and started practicing the techniques every day and I am now sleeping deeply for 7 to 8 hours per night. Melissa’s program and the sleep techniques she teaches work and I am very grateful.

Melissa helped me to solve a sleep problem that I have had for many years. Her coaching and her methods assisted me to just about double the amount of sleep I get in a night time. This has made a massive difference to my concentration and my energy levels. I can highly recommend Melissa for the work she does.

I had accepted poor sleep to be the norm, but it was impacting my health. I now feel so fortunate to have become aware of Melissa’s expertise and The Sleep Easy Club. Melissa has equipped me with a variety of tools, skills and valuable knowledge to improve my sleep. Not only has my sleep improved, but my overall life balance has changed, all for the better. I am very grateful.

I have had sleep problems for many years and had long given up on feeling energetic again. After just one day of sleep training with Melissa, I was fully relaxed. However, what really threw me was how I felt the next day. If I could bottle that feeling and sell it, I would be a billionaire! I was so energetic, I have not felt like that for decades!
