Each training session is respectful and impactful, honoring the body as a process.
We front load potential with restorative MELT bodywork then move. Coaching and expertise complement body language, listening and dialogue. Possibilities are endless with a creative mix of core fitness, yoga, and recovery care strategies that promote an active lifestyle with better balance, mindful connection, stability, strength and resilience.
I have 15+ years working as a professional in physical fitness and recovery and stay curious through embodied education because I believe we can all do better in care if we have our own integration.
Denise helped me find more relief with two hours of MELT than I could have reasonably hoped for.
To my shock, MELT isn’t like going to a Pilates class (you feel bad, you feel good, it atrophies): it’s like untangling knots in a ball of yarn. Once the tangle’s out, it seems to stay out. It’s not a perfect metaphor, yet I hope the essence comes through: this work builds.
Denise herself radiates. Like a tour guide to your body, Denise brings insight, comfort, confidence, joy, and familiarity with the terrain to her work.

I absolutely loved our session and will be recommending Denise to so many! It was WAY more than myofascial release, you found the root of the pattern, neuro resets and core strengthening! Our city is lucky to have your expertise! Thank you so much!!

Denise is a natural. Her passion for body and soul alignment is palpable, which makes her work very effective. She is wonderful at creating a safe, supportive environment in which I feel completely held and open. My body was singing after our session. Thanks Denise
Frasier, Charleston SC
Many thanks for solving a major hindrance to my training & overall health. I thought my issue was a core issue, but Denise solved that it was much more & that a guided integration could solve for the underlying issue of my pain.
She noticed my head would turn along with shoulders & hips...not much differentiation that is healthy for spinal stability and mobility. We did a MELT Performance Map guided as she says by my body to address restrictions.
Through testing we discovered my right glute muscle was overactive & the left was not firing
She solved this in minutes & will require me to continue with a collaborated effort with exercises prescribed for this success
The next day my obliques were sore not only because of Neurostrength, but because they are working properly for the first time in a long time
My posture feels more aligned and I can get more out of my workouts/outdoor activities
We all want to improve & this is a real game changer for me, thanks to Denise/Embody Respect

Melt class today was great as it is every time! Denise and Melt have changed my body and mind. As an active 65 year old, my body was really taking a toll from all of my exercising, and it was depressing. I work out with Denise both privately and take her classes in real time and on replay. My body looks great, and my posture and core are strong. Now I can’t go a day without melting!
Jody, New York NY
Great to be back melting again. One session after a broken foot and I already feel better!
Nina , New York NY
Such a great class! Denise is very thorough and explained everything to us. I felt much better afterwards. I high recommend!
Michelle, Charleston SC
Denise is fabulous! Her energy is so calming and healing and I felt great during and after class! Highly recommend to anyone with a body:)

I did not know what to expect from MELT. This class uses foam rollers and a squishy ball to loosen those tight spots on your body. Denise mentioned that our movements were sending hydration to the joints. Whatever it was, I left the class feeling light and flexible and ready to take on the day. I will be back.
Jessica, Charleston SC
I really love your classes! You’re amazingly creative, you give clear cues and visuals, and the classes have truly helped me with my Multiple Sclerosis. Thanks ever so much.
Joy right back at you,

As always, this was an amazing class and my body temple feels so good afterward. thank you so much for all you do Denise, it is appreciated and my body loves MELTing.
Cynthia , Alberta Canada
I loved the class, thank you!. I had to do the modifications you provided to keep this old body working, although always very tough for me, was easy for me to follow due to your verbal explanations and visual demo's. Your combos of lunges, and upper body are so creative and butt-kicking. Very inspirational and aspirational.
