Meet Melissa Barnes
Transformation Coach. Speaker. Advocate for Regret-Free Living.
Helping high-achieving women rise into clarity, connection, and a life of bold intention.
With over two decades in the death and grief care profession, I’ve witnessed the weight of unspoken dreams and the pain of final regrets. The most common words I’ve heard from the dying? “I regret…” — not speaking up, not taking the leap, not truly living.
I vowed to rewrite that story—for myself and for as many women as possible. I now guide women through emotional numbness, burnout, and unprocessed grief into a life of purpose, deep love, and lasting legacy. Because when a woman heals and rises, so does everyone she touches.

"The desire to help people overflows from Coach Melissa and I felt enveloped in that aura even through the computer while speaking with her during our 1 on 1 sessions. Getting into the deep core of underlying issues quickly was not something I expected; but it happened during session one, but we didn’t dwell there. Her very direct questions and gentle challenges during the early session brought things very fast, bubbling to the surface. Exacting questions and a clear pathway of how to move forward. Her ability to move through the “stuff” efficiently, by stating the hurts and anger and walking through the process of releasing it and truly letting go of the past became very clear that she was able to help me get me to a much better place in my life today and to a joyful, fulfilling future. Our session time is well used, each minute has purpose, every word has meaning and that is not lost on Coach Melissa. The deep hurt, pain and tensions rise up; and through her guidance I have been able to completely release the past to the universe on my way to peaceful future happiness in my mind and the desire to live a healthy life. Coach Melissa has given me new techniques of thinking. She guides me through DEEP Meditation and allows me to completely relax and feel uplifted and joyful. Through the sessions I am learning new strategies and techniques, Coach Melissa is teaching me how to apply those to day-to-day life, to be resilient, confident and happy. These strategies and techniques are not just from textbook learning with Coach Melissa; she has walked the path and applied ALL these things she is teaching to her own life. She KNOWS how to apply the hard work, KNOWS that the techniques work, KNOWS that doing the work produces wonderful and fulfilling results. GO ALL IN - with an open Mind and an open Heart.….. you will see and feel immediate results, and it will be very evident that you are changing to everyone around you too. Do the homework she assigns, apply the strategies EVERY day, do the work EVERY day, every minute if you need to at first, do it for yourself, for those you love and those who love you. do it for YOUR new wonderful life.
