Melanie began practicing yoga and meditation almost 15 years ago when she was pregnant with her oldest daughter. Now a mother of four, she continues to practice yoga and meditation daily to strive for a sense of equanimity in her life.

Her realization that yoga and meditation are important daily practices, both on and off the mat, has helped her to put things down, let things go, live in the moment, and most importantly, to breathe. She is truly grateful to all her teachers who have inspired and encouraged her along this journey. She now wants to share what she has learned with her students at her yoga studio, The Yoga Exchange. There, she strives to offer yoga teachings to those dedicated to creating a practice of mindfulness, compassion, and gratitude.

Melanie completed her yoga training with Kevan Gale at Stil Studio in Dedham, Massachusetts for her 500-hour certification in Fluid Yoga. She then assisted him in the 200- and 500-hour trainings. Melanie completed her Meditation & Mindfulness Teacher training with the McLean Meditation Institute. She also received a 200-hour yoga certification at Back Bay Yoga, in Boston. Melanie is a certified massage therapist, a ChildLight Yoga instructor, and a licensed and registered occupational therapist with a degree from the University of New England, in Biddeford, Maine.

Melanie teaches yoga and meditation in Holliston, Massachusetts where she lives with her husband, Jamie, and their four children.
