Meet Merle

I’m Merle—a psychologist, trauma-informed coach, and somatic healer with a deep passion for guiding people back to themselves.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked with a wide range of individuals—from people in prisons and hospitals to trauma survivors, substance users, and those navigating unemployment and life transitions. What they all had in common was the same thing you might be feeling now: stress, disconnection, low energy, and a longing to feel balanced again.

With a Master’s degree in Psychology and certifications in trauma work, music therapy, somatic coaching, meditation, and energy healing, I’ve created a unique method that blends the best of science and spirituality. I don’t separate mind, body, and emotions—I help you reconnect them through grounded, client-paced support.

My approach is gentle, intuitive, and rooted in deep respect for your pace and process. I help you regulate your nervous system, silence the inner critic, and reconnect with your creativity, joy, and inner power.

What I truly love is guiding people into what I call a “green relationship” with themselves—a space of emotional sustainability, self-worth, and full-hearted living.

This isn’t just about healing. It’s about becoming who you were meant to be—calm, clear, and connected.
