Helping people find ease in their bodies
and a greater connection to themselves.

  • MELT allows me to be more active in my mid-50s than I was in my mid-20s. Yana’s wisdom has empowered me to use MELT to take care of myself as a skier, hiker, and golfer. Best of all, what I learn from Yana I can do at home, on my own, anytime.

  • A Shiatsu session with Yana leaves me feeling physically and mentally balanced. Yana’s deep knowledge of Shiatsu, combined with her strong hands, always relieves the knots in my body and soul.

  • I broke my back and seven ribs in a construction accident, and have arthritis in my spine after raft guiding for ninteen years. I wish I had found MELT with Yana years ago. It's one of the few things that I can do that keeps me out of pain so I can keep working, snowboarding, biking, running and having fun.

  • After five knee surgeries, practicing MELT is one of the few things that makes me feel pain free.

  • As a new mother working multiple jobs, I feel like the world demands so much of me. Shiatsu sessions with Yana have become my lifeline to reset my body and my nervous system and feel balanced in a way that I never have with any other modality or practitioner.

  • MELT was something I started just to be in the company of my dear friends who seem forever open to the latest discipline to promise health benefits. After the first few sessions, I am the biggest fan and cannot imagine getting progressively older without this method for balance, muscle strength and flexibility and the biggest release of tight joints. What a gift this has been and a lesson that peer pressure is not always bad! Grateful.

  • As a body worker for over 26 years and a yoga teacher I am astounded by how transformative the MELT Method is for my physical body and nervous system. The techniques are simple yet profound and the self assessments validate the efficacy of the movements. It’s like a magic trick that brings immediate relief from aches, pains and stiffness. Yana is an excellent guide that explains the movements with precision and compassion and I am so grateful that she is teaching the work in our community.

    – Elizabeth

  • Yana’s expertise and commitment to healing have been inspiring and educational in my journey to wellness. I rely on her Shiatsu to relieve tension in my body after busy outdoor activities in Jackson and Yana’s MELT sessions help to reduce my chronic pain.

Self-care is not an indulgence, it’s a discipline.
