Liberated Heart Healing
I help leaders liberate themselves from hypermasculinity so they can melt into their softness through yoga and massage
My Story
My name is Melissa Rose and I am a 200 hour Vinyasa, Restorative and Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher. I am also an Ayurvedic Massage Therapy Student at The Southwest Institute for the Healing Arts. I am on a mission to help leaders liberate themselves from hypermasculinity so they can melt into their softness through yoga and massage.
Living in hypermasculinity and survival led me to addiction to alcohol and drugs, anxiety attacks, overworking because I felt like I needed to achieve to be worthy and a collapse in the polarity of my romantic relationships. I was living my life on overdrive, void of fulfillment and my life was giving me a lot of signs that I needed to soften.
My healing journey to allow my divine feminine to feel safe enough to rise has included sobriety, EMDR therapy, IFS therapy, somatic therapy, meditation, celibacy, getting let go from a misaligned corporate job, Kabbalah, equine therapy, plant medicine ceremonies, yoga and massage.
Once I reconnected to The Creator, my purpose was revealed to me in ceremony and meditation. I created Liberated Heart Healing to share the profound power of yoga, massage and bodywork which helps us reconnect to the innate wisdom of the body, release stored emotion and heal trauma. It is a privilege to be devoted to this path and to serve all of the souls that resonate with it.
You do not have to live in survival, stress, chaos, anxiety, fear and overachieving. I am here to help you melt into your softness so you can live a life of purpose, unconditional love, connection, complete safety, joy, bliss and balance.
It is an honor to serve you. Thank you for trusting me to walk with you on your healing journey.

Liberated Heart Healing Impact
“What stands out about Melissa's yoga classes is her ability to create a nurturing space with a soulful vibe.
She connects with others in a friendly, uplifing manner making us all feel special, safe and inspired both physically and mentally. Her kindness, compassion and dedication come shining through in all her classes.
Her classes move with quiet rhythms: breath guiding motion, motion guiding breath. The energy is gentle and yet alive with creative sequences to soften, to open and to simply be.
I leave Melissa's classes feeling like a radiant being: calm, centered and quietly renewed carrying a sense of peace long after the practice has ended."
Serena B.
“Melissa is by far the best yoga instructor I have ever been lucky enough to learn from. Her instruction and flow are perfect, the music is awesome and the way she incorporates massage into the practice makes her truly one of a kind. After practicing off and on for 10 years, I struggled to get back into a routine- but Melissa's classes finally got me practicing consistently again! She is the best!"
Jacob B.
"Practicing with Melissa is such a gift. She has a beautiful way of creating a calm, inclusive space while meeting you where you are in your practice each day. Her thoughtful guidance, attention to alignment and steady presence bring intention to every class. I always leave feeling grounded, energized and grateful for the experience."
Lesa V.
"Melissa effortlessly leads Restorative Yoga to rid energies that may no longer be useful for me. This class involves specific poses that release energy and other poses that serve to enhance beneficial energy. For me, this offers a reboot of my physical, mental and spiritual energy. The only time I miss this class is when I'm out of town. My husband, Keith also attends with me."
Diane V.
“Melissa's yoga classes have been truly transformational for me both physically and emotionally. After losing my son several years ago, I have been on a long healing journey, and her practice has played a meaningful role in helping me find peace and grounding again. Each class offers a safe, calming space that allows me to reconnect with my body and mind.
Melissa goes above and beyond in every detail. From candlelight and soothing music to her intentional use of aroma and gentle touch, her classes feel deeply nurturing and restorative. You can feel the care and thought she puts into her practice.
Melissa offers more than yoga- she creates a transformational, healing experience. Her classes have helped me through my grief journey and brought peace, grounding and clarity back into my life. I'm so grateful for her and her practice.
With her thoughtful guidance, she creates an environment that is calming, intentional and truly special. I highly recommend her and fully support her beautiful work."
Lisa S.
“Melissa's yoga classes are amazing. From the first class, I immediately felt safe and supported. The next week, I brought my husband and now he reminds me to sign up each week. Melissa guides us through insightful meditations and restorative poses, and I leave each class with a sense of calm and peace."
Katie S.
"Yoga with Melissa is always grounding and energizing, and she has such a warm, welcoming presence. Her flows are very fluid, leaving me feeling strong and relaxed at the same time. She gives clear cues while still encouraging you to listen to your own body and her hands-on adjustments are phenomenal for going deeper! She is a super intentional instructor with great energy!"
Karen M.
"Melissa prompts us to say hi to our neighbor and to focus on our hearts. This is what sets her apart. In one class, my neighbor and I learned quickly that we have each lost a brother. Hers at 18, mine at 34. To say my brother weighs heavy on my heart is an understatement. It got heavy which I invite most anytime, Melissa showed us how we can actively work through it and it was inspiring."
Mike W.
"I highly recommend Melissa Rose as a yoga teacher and guide. I have been attending her classes regularly and continue to be impressed by the intention, care and wisdom she brings to every session. Melissa weaves each class around a meaningful theme, integrating yoga, breathwork and mindful connection.
She is attentive to proper form and alignment, ensuring that each student understands how to get the most benefit from every pose. Melissa also creates a welcoming environment where she gently encourages the class to connect with one another, fostering a sense of community that extends beyond the mat.
I've also participated in events she has hosted, which have included powerful breathwork practices, thoughtful discussions and space for participants to explore their own healing journeys. Melissa holds these experiences with compassion and clarity, offering support and encouragement throughout.
Whether in a weekly class or a special event, Melissa brings authenticity, insight and heart to her work. I am grateful for the impact she has had on my practice and my personal growth and I wholeheartedly recommend her services."
Leslie C.
"Melissa has been an encouraging instructor in both Restorative and Flow Yoga. I feel sufficiently guided through class but am given enough freedom to make it my own. I've learned a lot in her classes and am always excited to join. The music selection is always amazing! I leave each class feeling better physically and mentally, and I see improvements with each class I join."
Katie W.
"I take Melissa's Restorative yoga class. Both my wife and I look forward to attending on Saturday's. Melissa creates an environment that allows for my fellow classmates and I to just be. She is an example of grace and generosity. I am always peaceful after the class."
Keith V.
"My first class with Melissa was a Restorative Yoga session just weeks after my husband passed away; it has since become a vital space for my healing. Searching for solace and respite, I found exactly that on my mat in her gentle, supportive class. Melissa provides a nurturing sanctuary that brings me back regularly. She warmly welcomes everyone individually, taking the time to know your name, and more importantly, you. Her classes incorporate gentle poses, expert guidance, and hands-on adjustments if desired. She encourages you to listen to your body and do what feels right for you. Melissa is truly one of a kind-I am already looking forward to experiencing her massages as well!"
Donna C.
"My wife and I attend Melissa's class on a weekly basis. We have been to several yoga classes with different instructors, but I can tell you that we look forward to Melissa's class more than any other. She is always able to set wonderful intentions, move the class at the perfect pace, be incredibly helpful if you need it during the class and I must say she has one of the most perfect soothing voices I have ever heard. It just adds to the ambience of her instruction. The only downside is that if you don't act fast her classes fill up! I highly recommend her 10 out of 10."
Alan S.
"I was a guest at my first session of Melissa’s restorative yoga. Something had happened right before and it felt big and I wasn’t sure how to react, how to keep my boundaries, to keep myself safe, to keep the PTSD from rising. As Melissa guided us through the practice the importance of this instance started to soften. It let go of my mind, and slowly, my body. It was still showing on my face toward the end and Melissa was able to use pressure points on my face to release the tension. When it was all over and I was in savasana I knew exactly what to do. Nothing. Let it play out. I knew exactly how big a deal this thing was. It wasn’t. It was not a me problem. I was ok. It was not my burden to pick up. Each week Melissa has us focus on our body with a mantra in mind, and I am able to find and release what needs to be released and focus on my overall health with honesty, love, and compassion."
