Motion of Emotion™ · Work With Melody
Movement.
Memory.
Return.
A somatic, faith-centered system to break emotional loops, rewire the nervous system, and return women to themselves.
My Journey
My path into this work didn't begin in a studio — it began in life.
At 18 years old, I moved to Paris as an au pair. That year cracked my world open. I lived abroad, learned independence, and discovered philosophy, spirituality, and the early threads of somatic curiosity. In between caring for three young children, I sat in Bois de Boulogne reading Alan Watts and the I Ching.
After Paris, I moved to Colorado — another season of grit, growth, and getting to know myself through experience rather than textbooks. I skied, read Taoism and Ruth Montgomery, and devoured anything I could find about spiritual awakening.
When I came back to Texas, I finally knew what I wanted: movement, healing, truth. That's when I enrolled at the University of Houston–Clear Lake and earned my degree in modern dance — because movement and riding horses had always been therapy, long before I had language for it.
Woven through all these years was the beginning of my somatic and spiritual lineage. I started studying sound, color, and vibration with William David in college, continuing in LA and Sedona. Those teachings seeded a lifelong understanding: the body holds frequency, memory, and emotion.
The Education
After graduating from UHCL,
I moved to Los Angeles.
LA wasn't just acting classes at the Mark Monroe Studio or performing with a theater group in Venice — it was emotional education in the real world.
- How emotions live in the body
- How to read truth somatically
- How to survive, adapt, and rise
- How breath shifts state
- How embodiment changes identity
- How to keep going when life doesn't go as planned
The MOE™ Experience
Helping Women Lead, Teach, and Build with Soul
— On the Reformer and In Life
This isn't just business coaching. It's nervous system coaching. It's clarity coaching. It's "let's build something that feels good and actually works" coaching.
I've built studios, led teachers, launched retreats, navigated burnout and pivots — and the roller-coaster you know. With over two decades in this world, I bring grounded guidance and proven tools.
If you're stuck in role-teaching patterns, drowning in logistics, or trying to grow without losing yourself — I'm here to help.

The Method
Why This Workbook Matters
If you've lived through covert narcissistic abuse, emotional neglect, anxiety, freeze, or overwhelm — you already know: talking about the pain doesn't change it.
This is somatic + spiritual recalibration. At home, at your pace, with your own body.
- — Identify trauma patterns through color
- — Break emotional loops
- — Rewire your nervous system
- — Release stored emotional vibration
- — Return to the woman God designed you to be

"Greater works than these shall you do."
John 14:12
How Motion of Emotion™ Was Born
Everything I'd spent a lifetime studying converged.
But nothing brought that truth into reality the way covert narcissistic abuse did. That trauma didn't just break my heart — it broke my nervous system.
It showed me the patterns, the loops, the emotional ruts that run you until you learn how to interrupt them. And because I couldn't think my way out, or talk my way out — I had to move my way out.
Everything I'd spent a lifetime studying — movement, breath, color, vibration, Pilates, fascia, trauma, somatics, faith — suddenly converged. That convergence became Motion of Emotion™.
"I am the way, the truth, and the life." — John 14:6
