Melissa Katsakos, HHP, LE, is an Integrative Wellness Guide specializing in women’s health and environmental resilience, with nearly three decades of experience in holistic healing. A Holistic Health Practitioner, Licensed Aesthetician, and Educator, she blends clinical knowledge with somatic intelligence and compassionate care to support whole-person healing.
Melissa began her career in integrative medicine in 1997 at The Chopra Center for Wellbeing, where she worked in the Panchakarma spa department under the leadership of Dr. Deepak Chopra. She later spent ten years teaching at IPSB College, an Esalen-based school of integrative bodywork, where she trained professionals in therapeutic modalities, somatic awareness, and integrative touch practices.
For over twenty years, she has specialized in post-operative recovery, somatic bodywork, and regenerative skincare, collaborating closely with leading physicians and craniofacial plastic surgeons. Her extensive clinical work, including more than sixteen years with Dr. Steven Cohen, expanded her expertise in inflammation, nervous system regulation, lymphatic function, and regenerative therapies.
A personal journey through environmental illness and biotoxin-related neuroinflammation reshaped Melissa’s clinical lens and deepened her commitment to environmental health. Today, she supports individuals navigating complex, environmentally driven conditions, helping them restore clarity, resilience, and coherence through evidence-informed, integrative, and deeply personalized care.
