About the Founders
Soft Landing Wellness is led by Melanie and Keith, who bring together decades of professional experience across trauma-informed movement, recovery support, coaching, and nervous system regulation — alongside lived experience of recovery.
Their work is grounded in both evidence-informed practice and real-world understanding of what sustainable healing and stability require.
Together, they offer a balanced, ethical, and highly structured approach that prioritises safety, consistency, and long-term wellbeing.
Meet Melanie
Melanie holds qualifications across multiple disciplines including yoga therapy, meditation, breathwork, nutrition, and sound healing. Her approach is deeply client-focused, shaped by years of direct experience supporting people through recovery and rebuilding.
Melanie is in recovery herself, and it is this lived understanding, alongside her professional training, that informs everything she brings to Soft Landing. She knows what it feels like to need support that is calm, consistent, and free from pressure, and she built this service to offer exactly that.
Meet Keith
Keith brings qualifications in yoga, meditation, breathwork, Pilates, and martial arts, along with a natural ability to make movement and regulation practices feel genuinely accessible, whatever someone's starting point.
Keith is in recovery himself, and that experience sits at the heart of how he works. He has spent years helping people reconnect with their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing, and he approaches every client with the same warmth, patience, and grounded encouragement he would have wanted for himself.

Weekly Timetable
Our weekly programme runs Monday to Saturday, with four structured sessions each day. Every client, regardless of tier, attends the morning and evening group sessions — these form the consistent rhythm of the week. Individual sessions are allocated according to your tier, woven into the schedule to ensure that support feels steady and manageable rather than overwhelming.

Session allocation is designed to match the level of contact appropriate to each tier. Tier 3 clients attend live sessions only, providing a reliable weekly structure without the intensity of individual work. Tier 2 clients receive one individual session per week alongside both live sessions, while Tier 1 clients receive two. All individual sessions are held with Melanie or Keith and are tailored to your current needs, whether that draws on coaching, somatic practice, or psychoeducation. Sunday is a rest day across all tiers — no sessions are scheduled, and none are expected.
Philosophy
Melanie and Keith believe that recovery and wellbeing are not built through intensity, quick fixes, or spiritual bypassing — but through gentle consistency, nervous-system safety, and practical daily support.
Their role is not to “fix” clients, but to provide the structure, tools, and relational safety needed for individuals to rebuild confidence, resilience, and independence at their own pace.
