What do clients say about the astrology and tarot practice?

"My first consultation with you was out of pure curiosity, but soon I thought: wow!

Besides that you radiate tranquility, are clear and sincere. You made me understand my characteristics better and that gave me a lot of food for thought.

3 consultations later I can honestly say that the appointments with you are a great gift for myself. It is not that I now live according to my horoscope, but I now know what belongs to me and that gives inner peace.

You go deeper or actually further than the earth, the sun & the moon.

Thanks, dear Melanie! "

"A beautiful piece of insight provided by Melanie, on the path to self discovery. As someone not familiar with astrology, I found Melanie's analysis and explanations very clear, deep and thought provoking. After the session, I was left with a bundle of printed insights + an audio recording of the session - lots of wonderful material for a deeper dive into the astrological synchro-destiny. Thank you Mel for the amazing work!"


M.

“I received this reading as a birthday gift. It was a very refreshing way to approach the year that lay ahead. Melanie gave a clear and inspiring translation of the influences the planets have on our personal current situation. I walked out feeling motivated and inspired."

"First of all, the space felt really sacred. I was able to drop in the dense Self. And you! You are so sweet and welcoming. From the first second that we met that morning it was clear that you're there for me to help me get more clarity in my life. And during the tarot reading there was a lot of things that I appreciated. The main thing that was unexpected, that you include me in the reading by asking me how I percieve the cards, and how I can co-relate the symbolism in the cards to my own life. You rounded up with a question that concluded it for me and that made it highly empowering for me."


A.

"Thank you so much for taking the time to do this and send it over. Once again - it was very insightful and was well aligned to what's going on right now. Still transforming who I am and finding those people that resonate most with me and share the same values. You're right we are traveling - so that was perfect as well. Thanks again - this was SUPER SUPER appreciated!"


N.

"What an amazing astrology consultation I received yesterday with Melanie. I'm so happy and happily surprised aswel. This was the most valuable astrology consultation I've ever received. So powerful, practical and recognizable. This woman is so technical, it enables us to talk to converse with the planets and stars trough her. This will be our Go-To astrologer, mark my words!"


L.

"I loved the Astrology reading from Melanie. She confirmed with me things I already knew regarding my personality traits and character. Amazing how recognizable it was, like she knew every detail about me by reading my chart. I felt so supported and uplifted!

She took all the time to explain me each and every detail on the chart. I highly recommend her Astrology reading to Everyone."


N.

"If it is part of your practice to study yourself, then a birth chart reading is interesting for you.

Melanie reads through the lines and symbols of the chart and points out your characteristics and habits. When you confirm them upon her asking if that sounds familiar to you, you may catch the sparkle in her eyes, showing her fascination and dedication for astrology.

And that, in my eyes, makes her the right person to go to for such a reading."

What do clients say about the yoga practice?

"Melanie is amazing and will guide you through a beautiful flow, grounding you in your body with intention and love. Magical music aswel!"

"You feel authentic and well-read. I found the depth that many teachers may lack in you which was very nice."

"The class had challenging enough action, with a beautiful combination of chanting mantra, while the teacher played the harmonium. <3"

"Super nice as always! Love the vibration and energy flow when we chant Om to begin and end the class. Melanie is very friendly and accommodating different level and type of body as well."

"She is the first one I would recommend for people who have never done strong flow. For people who are still hesitant or not yet confident enough about their “level” (“am I “advanced” enough for strong flow?”). That is because of her warm, casual and personal approach as a teacher and because she explains everything well. This way everyone can feel comfortable (at least I feel at home as a strong-flow junkie at her classes :-) )"

"Great intense class, it was nice to receive options in terms of intensity within the flow. The touch and adjustment suggestions are helpful! Lovely class! Thanks Melanie"

"Great class! The practice serves me well and she instructs and corrects accurately in a gentle way with clear explanation. A part from this; lovely music and a relaxed atmosphere. Absolutely great!"

"I really like her classes. She is very warm and friendly, spontaneous and explains all the steps well. I am also grateful for her corrections, and find it very respectful that she asks every time in the beginning if someone does not want to be touched. Melanie gives everyone the opportunity not to sing along or to perform asanas in their own way (vs. the individual yoga level)."
