More About Melody
Mel lives in Nashville (originally MinneSNOWta) with her husband Kirk and two young children. She feels coaching is what she is meant to do because it draws a person from a place of where you are to where you want to be, and in the midst of that client-led process we get to know Jesus even more. Nothing excites her more to see the chains disappear, hope abound, and freedom in an individual’s life because we uncover who God is and who He wants you to become in the situation we areย processing together. She loves being active outdoors, reading, hitting up garage sales with my husband, and “racing” around with her two kids.ย
