Erickson-Trained Professional Coach • Notion Template Creator
Whether you're navigating a major life transition or looking for practical systems to bring more clarity, focus, and intention to your everyday life, I'm here to help through one-on-one coaching and thoughtfully designed Notion templates.
Helping You Build a More Intentional Life.
Choose Your Path
Whether you're navigating a major life transition or looking for practical tools to bring more clarity and intention to your everyday life, there are two ways I can help.
🤎 Life Transition Coaching
A 4-session private coaching experience.
You've worked hard to build the life and career you have, but now you're starting to wonder if you want something different.
Through The Intentional Pause™, my 30-day private coaching program, I'll help you work through what's holding you back, see possibilities you may not have considered, and find a realistic next step toward the change you want to make.
✨ Notion Templates
Productivity systems that actually get used.
Bring more clarity and intention to the way you organize your life.
My Notion templates are grounded in research-backed productivity principles and built using proven frameworks like Getting Things Done (GTD) and the PARA Method. Each template is thoughtfully designed to simplify the way you manage your goals, projects, notes, habits, finances, and daily routines, so you can spend less time organizing and more time focusing on what matters.
Meet Mel
I'm an Erickson-trained Professional Coach and hold a B.S. in Cellular & Molecular Biology.
Whether I'm coaching someone through a major life transition or designing a Notion template, my goal is the same: to help people create more intentional lives with greater clarity and confidence.
My own life transition inspired The Intentional Pause™, a coaching experience for people who have spent years building a life or career they thought they wanted, but now feel ready for something different and aren't sure how to move forward. Alongside coaching, I'm also the creator behind The Productivity Pixie, where I design research-backed Notion templates built using proven productivity frameworks like Getting Things Done (GTD) and the PARA Method to help people simplify and organize their everyday lives.
At the heart of everything I do is a genuine curiosity about how people think, make decisions, and create meaningful change. Whether through coaching or thoughtfully designed systems, I hope to give people the tools and confidence to move forward with intention.
The Intentional Pause™
The framework behind my coaching.
The idea for The Intentional Pause™ came from my own life transition. After spending years working toward a future that no longer felt right, I realized I didn't need another quick answer. I needed the time and space to figure out how to move forward without putting so much pressure on myself.
That experience became the foundation of my coaching approach. Rather than rushing into a decision or waiting for the "perfect" moment, The Intentional Pause™ is about taking the time to explore your options, work through what's holding you back, and find a way forward that feels right for you.
If you've spent years building a life or career you thought you wanted, but now find yourself wanting something different, this coaching experience is designed to help you figure out how to start making that change.
