The Heart Behind Inner Wisdom Rising
Inner Wisdom Rising was born from my personal journey of reclaiming myself after over a decade of disconnection—from myself, my relationships, and the world around me. I’ve walked the path of losing myself in patterns of self-doubt, overgiving, and relational struggle, only to find my way back through a deep reconnection with my body’s natural wisdom, my instincts, and my emotional truth.
This work is deeply relational and profoundly personal—a unique blend of somatic healing, nervous system support, attachment healing, and conscious relationship guidance. It’s about exploring the deeper layers of your experiences to help you move beyond patterns of disconnection, self-sabotage, and relational pain.
Healing isn’t just about mending wounds; it’s about coming home to yourself so you can show up in your relationships—with yourself and others—from a place of self-trust, emotional safety, and wholeness.
I created this space to guide you on your own unique journey of healing—where you’ll rediscover your truth, rebuild inner connection, and cultivate relationships that feel authentic, nourishing, and secure.

I help you develop deep self-awareness and embodied practices so you can move through relationships with clarity, confidence, and self-trust. Whether you’re single, exploring relationships, or committed, the foundation begins with reconnecting to yourself.

After my own journey
of losing myself for over a decade and slowly finding my way back home, I believe that the world would be a more beautiful place if we accepted the full spectrum of who we are and found alignment in our daily actions and relationships with others and ourselves. I am a mother of two beautiful boys, ages 16 and 8, and have been married to my amazing husband for 18years. I believe our own inner healing comes from a deep personal connection with ourselves, and this page is dedicated to helping you find that connection.

What My Clients Are Saying
It was such a good experience working with Melissa! She held a safe space for me to process emotions and regulate my nervous system. I loved how she incorporated somatic work with strategy to help me get “unstuck” and pair that with action steps to take away and move forward from the session.
She was intuitive and helped me to find my own answers while also challenging me and opening up my mind to other possibilities that I wasn’t paying attention to. I felt so much lighter and expanded after the session, she is really good at what she does!
-Laurence Annez de Taboada
“Melissa is absolutely wonderful! She is very passionate about helping others and making sure they are comfortable during her coaching sessions. She has a great thought out process that is easy to understand and gives clarity of mind.
I was truly amazed at how quickly and vividly her work took place. She took the time to truly understand me and where I was coming from. I highly recommend Melissa and her services for anyone wanting or wishing to experience someone who is intelligent, compassionate, and intuitively gifted. Thank you, Melissa!”
