Discover Yoga & Physical Therapy was first established in 2009 in Redmond, WA, under the name Discover Yoga Therapy. In 2011, Melissa relocated to Hong Kong, where she and her family lived and worked for over three years. In 2016, she was thrilled to re-launch as Discover Yoga & Physical Therapy. Now based in Cary, NC, Melissa offers group classes, small therapeutic sessions, and private yoga instruction, along with physical therapy evaluations and treatments in her private studio.

In her sessions, Melissa combines the ancient practices and philosophies of Yoga and Ayurvedic medicine with the science of Physical Therapy and the principles of Integrative Lifestyle Medicine. This unique approach helps her clients uncover the root causes of their imbalances—be they physical, psychological, social, energetic, or spiritual. She empowers individuals by providing tailored yoga poses, breathing exercises, and mental concentration techniques, fostering a deeper sense of wellness for both the present and the future.

Beyond private sessions and group classes, Melissa also offers wellness coaching, workshops, and continuing education for experienced yogis and wellness professionals. Topics covered include integrative lifestyle medicine, injury prevention and healing, yoga anatomy and physiology, and the psychology of fitness and wellness, as well as the Anatomy & Physiology component of the RYT-200 teacher training program.
