About the Host:
The Shift Holistic Wellbeing was born out of Melissa's personal journey as a new Australian and her experiences with IVF, birth trauma, and post-natal depression. After migrating from Lima, Peru, nearly eight years ago, she struggled to find holistic practices that truly supported her emotional and mental health. This challenging path ignited her passion to create a space where others could find the support she once sought.
​Driven by her belief in the power of holistic wellbeing, Melissa founded The Shift, a social enterprise dedicated to offering educational and wellbeing programs that promote good mental health in young families. In her programs, Melissa integrates mind, body, and spirit practices, sharing the tools and strategies that have been instrumental in her own healing and recovery journey. With over 14 years of personal yoga practice in various styles, including vinyasa, yin, and gentle flow, Melissa holds a diverse array of qualifications that further enhance her expertise in holistic wellbeing:
