Meet Stella

---

Twelve years ago, while visiting a yoga studio in Florida, I attended my first MELT Method class—and I was hooked. The class was not only enjoyable, but it left me feeling incredible both immediately 

afterward and for days to come.

My journey with movement and wellness began long before that moment. I’ve been practicing yoga since 1998 and started teaching in 2001. By 2002, I had opened my own yoga studio, balancing it alongside a full-time career as an Optical Sales Representative. However, juggling both proved too demanding, and after five years, I made the difficult decision to close the studio. Even so, I continued teaching, taking courses, and maintaining my Yoga Alliance membership and designation.

Years later, I faced a personal setback—a shoulder injury that led to a full shoulder replacement and other limitations. This injury forced me to adapt my practice, shifting toward more restorative approaches to movement and healing. It was during this time that I discovered the MELT Method, and I immediately recognized its potential not just for myself but for helping others lead more active, pain-free lives.  

Since beginning my MELT training, I’ve achieved Level 4 accreditation, and it has been an incredible tool for both personal recovery and guiding others on their wellness journeys. In particular, I’ve found MELT to be a game-changer for athletes and sports enthusiasts, helping them reduce pain, improve recovery times, and enhance performance. By incorporating MELT techniques, I empower individuals to move more efficiently, prevent injuries, and achieve better results in their sport or physical activities.
