We’ve crossed paths with Melissa in a few ways over the years — through mutual friends, in shops, and at markets where she was selling an early iteration of her beautiful product line, @kunye.co.
As a former esthetician turned somatic practitioner, Melissa crafts products and practices that help folks slow down and return to oneness — with themselves and each other. 
We’ve been fortunate to collaborate with Melissa on three candle scents and witness her incredible journey as a business owner, practitioner, founder of the first Black-owned Pilates studio in Canada, and more recently, as the creator of the Slow Wellness approach — a blend of neuroscience and physiology with ancient wisdom from self-care and mindfulness techniques that date back thousands of years.
