The Exhale Foundations:

Stop managing symptoms, start healing the source. The breakthrough approach women have been searching for.

"I'm calmer throughout the day and sleeping better than I have in years. I have suffered from anxiety for much of my life. Constantly on edge and relying heavily on alcohol to unwind at night. The techniques Melanie taught me work quickly when I feel anxiety visit me. Melanie has helped me so much, and I can’t thank her enough."

Sarah, 42, Marketing Executive

Struggling with constant anxiety that's taking over your life?

 

You're exhausted, irritable with loved ones, and relying on caffeine to function and alcohol to unwind—all while keeping up appearances. Despite trying meditation apps and positive thinking, nothing seems to help. You're left physically drained, emotionally spent, and feeling alone.

This ongoing stress is harming your relationships, career, and health, yet breaking free feels impossible as each day becomes more overwhelming.

You're not alone. Countless women experience this same pattern, affecting their decision-making, personal growth, and potentially causing health issues like IBS, autoimmune problems, and sleep disturbances.

The Exhale Foundations offers you the first step toward real relief.

 

 

About Your Coach:

Melanie Hansen

 With over 15 years experience specialising in women's health and wellbeing as a Nervous System and Somatics Therapist, Root Cause Therapy Practitioner, Integrative Women's Health and Nutrition Coach, Massage Therapist, Trauma Informed Relational Somatics, Personal Trainer, Yoga Teacher and Breathwork Facilitator I created The Exhale Foundations, as an integrative approach to anxiety management, developed through years of practice and personal experience.

My Journey to This Work

My path to becoming an anxiety specialist began personally, struggling with debilitating stress and anxiety that left me feeling broken despite my outward success. While appearing composed externally, I was fighting an exhausting internal battle—waking at night with racing thoughts, canceling plans due to overwhelm, and feeling disconnected from the joy in my life.

Everything changed when I discovered nervous system regulation and somatic work. Learning to work with my body—not just my mind—transformed my relationship with anxiety. I remember the first time I felt truly calm in years; it was like coming home to myself.

 

 

This profound personal transformation became my calling. I've dedicated the past four years to refining my approach and helping women who are experiencing the same struggles I once faced. I see your exhaustion, understand your frustration with "quick fixes," and hold space for your journey with compassion.

Today, I guide women from overwhelm to embodied calm using techniques that address anxiety where it truly lives: in both body and mind. Your healing matters deeply to me because I know firsthand how life-changing this work can be.

Why The Exhale Foundations Is different

The Exhale Foundations combines two powerful modalities that other programs miss:

Somatic Bodywork

Releases physical tension patterns in your body where anxiety is stored, creating immediate relief.

Nervous System Regulation

Increasing your capacity to hold and process your body's stress response even during challenging situations.

This foundational approach is why clients experience lasting transformation, not just temporary symptom management.

Body Safety

Trigger Awareness

Recognize early warning signs of anxiety before they escalate, giving you the power to intervene before overwhelm takes hold.

Reduced Physical Tension

Release chronic muscle tension and physical discomfort that accompanies anxiety through targeted somatic practices.

Healthier Boundaries

Decreased Dependency

Nervous System Regulation

Sustainable Self-Care

Create a personalised toolkit of practical techniques that fit your busy schedule, ensuring lasting results beyond the program's completion.

Each outcome is developed through the program's three-phase framework of awareness, acceptance, and aligned action, supported by the combination of somatic body work, and nervous system regulation.

This program Is specifically for Women who:

  • Feel constantly anxious and on edge
  • Experience overwhelming emotions that seem to come out of nowhere and don't have the capacity to sit with or hold those emotions
  • Struggle to relax even when you finally get a moment to yourself
  • Feel trapped in patterns of overthinking and worry
  • Use caffeine and sugar to get going and alcohol to wind down
  • Possibly suffer from digestive concerns, autoimmune conditions, body aches and pains, sleep issues
  • Have recognised a pattern of constant stress that, when left unaddressed, leads to overwhelm and shutdown 
  • Know something needs to change but aren't sure where to start

The modalities that we use

 The Exhale program combines two powerful approaches to create comprehensive change:

Somatic Work: Healing Through Your Body


Somatic practices are body-centered techniques that recognise how emotions and stress are physically stored in your body. When you feel anxious, your muscles tense, your breathing changes and your nervous system activates—all physical responses. Through gentle movement, breath awareness, and guided physical exercises, somatic work helps you:

  • Identify where you hold tension in your body

  • Release physical patterns that maintain anxiety

  • Develop a deeper connection to your body's signals

  • Learn to physically "reset" when stress takes hold

Nervous System Regulation: Your Body's Stress Response

Your nervous system controls your body's reaction to stress and danger. This system becomes chronically activated for many women, keeping them in a constant state of "fight, flight, or freeze." Nervous system regulation teaches you how to:

  • Recognise when your system is in a stress response

  • Activate your body's natural calming mechanisms

  • Create safety signals that tell your body it's okay to relax

  • Build resilience so daily stressors don't overwhelm your system

These approaches work together to address anxiety at its source—both in your body and mind—creating deeper, more lasting results than methods that focus only on changing your thoughts or temporary symptom management.

Real results from real Women

"I have suffered from anxiety for much of my life. I was constantly on edge and relied heavily on alcohol to unwind every night. It was the only way to switch off and relax without feeling guilty. After working with Melanie, I can feel the difference in my body—I'm calmer throughout the day and sleeping better than I have in years. The techniques she taught me work quickly when I feel anxiety building. Melanie has helped me so much, and I honestly can’t thank her enough."

Sarah, 42, Marketing Executive

"After trying so many other approaches, I was skeptical that anything could help my anxiety. What made working with Melanie different was how practical it was. Melanie gave me specific techniques I could use in the middle of my chaotic day that worked to calm my system. For the first time, I understand what's happening in my body when anxiety hits and how to shift it. The text support between calls was invaluable on difficult days."

Jennifer, 38, Teacher and Mother of Two

"As someone who works in healthcare, I appreciated Melanie's knowledgeable  approach. She explained the physical aspects of anxiety in a way that finally made sense to me. The combination of physical techniques and addressing the root causes of my anxiety patterns has made a lasting difference. Three months after completing the program, I still use what I learned daily."

Michelle, 45, Healthcare Provider
