"When you are so dysregulated, you don't even know what home and safety is. Meditation helped me see myself for the first time for who I really was, not any persona or facade that I had put on." - Melissa Wood-Tepperberg

From battling severe cystic acne to struggling with deep-seated self-hatred, Melissa Wood-Tepperberg openly shares her transformative journey from internal chaos to profound self-discovery. Her story reveals how anxiety manifested physically in her body, leading her to realize that true healing required more than just external treatments. Through a daily meditation practice, she began the challenging work of clearing the mental fog that had obscured her authentic self for years.

Wood-Tepperberg's path to healing led her to develop a unique approach to movement, blending elements of Pilates and yoga that helped her break free from punishing workout routines. This personal evolution sparked a deeper mission - to help others who feel trapped by their circumstances understand they can change their life's trajectory at any moment. Her journey from a troubled childhood marked by her parents' separation to finding profound spiritual connection demonstrates how combining mindful movement with meditation can transform self-loathing into genuine self-love.
