I’m Melanie Wilder and The BODY Cure is my life’s work.

It didn’t start as a way to help people build businesses. It began as a deeply personal journey—my way of freeing myself from intense, debilitating complex trauma.

For most of my life, I had big dreams, but it always felt like no matter how much potential I had, nothing I did was ever enough. My body stayed braced, my self-worth was low, and I couldn’t shake this feeling that something about me—something I couldn’t quite pinpoint—excluded me from things that seemed within reach for others, no matter how hard I worked. Making money in a supportive and steady way? HIGH on the list.

I tried everything, worked myself TO THE BONE, tweaked, perfected, over-explained, proved, kept pedalling, and…nothing. I had a few clients here and there, but “supportive and steady” income? Not even close.

I’m not gonna lie—it took me time to figure it out, but looking back, I’m grateful it didn’t work out that way. Burnout, perfectionism, self-doubt, approval-seeking... All of it was pure conditioning. And as hard as I tried to make those strategies work, letting go of that conditioning was the missing piece.

Now I know—like in my bones know—it’s really simple: Stepping beyond my conditioning, and all the limiting self-concepts that came with it is exactly what’s allowed me to create and enjoy everything I’ve wanted I mean this in the deepest, purest, and truest sense of the word “want”), and my business has been the clearest example of just how true this is.

So The BODY Cure method? It’s like clockwork for creating that shift. These are the nuts and bolts of that transformation.

My path has been one of devotion, exploration, and a lifelong quest to feel whole, safe, and at peace in my body—and to trust that I can decide I want something and then create it. That I’m truly welcome to my own life.

Over the years, what began as a personal mission evolved into something much bigger:

Helping women like you break free from the conditioning that’s held you back, so you can build a life and a business that feel completely aligned with who you truly are. This work isn’t about fluff or abstract inner shifts—it’s about creating real results in your life and business.

At the core of The Body Cure is the understanding that your body holds your truth. Your power lives in the present, in your ability to feel and trust your body as the place where you can break free from the past. This isn’t just mindset work—it’s about cultivating a felt sense of safety and self-trust that lets you release the limitations you’ve inherited and create the outer results you’re longing for.

I’m here to walk with you through the process of deconditioning. This is deep work, but it’s not complicated. Together, we’ll uncover the patterns that are keeping you small and help you build a business—and a life—that feels abundant, fulfilling, and yours in every way.

And here’s a little more about me…

I was born in the US but spent my childhood living in South America—mostly in Chile, with time in Colombia and Argentina. Chunks of summer were often spent at my grandma’s in London. I finished high school in Florida (err... not for me). At 18, I moved to New York City, and that’s where I felt at home.

New York was where I really grew into myself. I studied at the Art Students League and got my BFA at Parsons School of Design. On graduation day, Athena (bff) and I shlepped our stuff off campus and moved it to an art studio in Bushwick, Brooklyn (when it was still cool and, to be fair, kind of dicey). Those years were THE SHIT. We met great people, made art, put on a couple of exhibitions I'm really impressed by looking back, and shared such a precious part of our youth. Deep, solid female friendships, and plenty of laughter have saved my life more than once.

After 20 years in NYC, I moved to the hills of Italy in 2022, where I live with my two dogs. These days, you can usually find me walking the trails in muddy boots, a cowboy hat, and a dorky fanny pack I use to strap the dogs to.

I quit drinking in 2023, and I'll never shut up about how amazing it is to never have a hangover. I also learned to drive for the first time here at 38—and every time I get behind the wheel, I feel like a proud giddy kid!

I love silence and spend a lot of time in nature, letting my nervous system unwind. I love and respect my life—SO much. It’s been a journey, but it’s one I wouldn’t trade for anything.

Ready to take the next step in your journey? Let’s chat.

I’m here to support you in creating a business that feels aligned, abundant, and fully supportive of the life you’ve always wanted for yourself. 

It all starts with a free intro session.

  • Sometimes being face-to-face with the opportunity to love myself THAT much is super challenging, but Melanie’s unflinching presence and care-FULL guidance coupled with a space that is imbued by her charisma and gentle power makes me see, remind, and believe in what I’m doing all the way through. It’s evident that Melanie has done a ton of her own soul work, and has been flying a powerful journey herself, to be able to be the coach she is today. I’m so grateful to have someone in my life that is such a cheerleader and fire for my dreams, my body, my love, and my life. Melanie is my breath of fresh air. All this, and I feel like my words can only express a fraction of how impressed and grateful I am about this woman.

    Carol B

  • "Working with Mel has been waking up, she always brings me back to what is, and it’s astonishing to me to realise how much of what held me back was an unconscious choice and how I was always looking for what wasn’t here to save me. I can’t imagine not having done this. It’s scary how close I came to staying where I was. This has been the most important investment I’ve ever made."

    Norah Z

  • "How could I not have seen this?! Is what I keep feeling. I’m excited for what living in this way will bring me. Thank you, Melanie."

    Viv L

  • "Not for the faint of heart. That’s the first thing to say about this work. If you’re not willing to look at your own stuff and poke holes in your stories of why things haven’t worked out the way you wanted them to, then save your money."

    Sharon L

  • "You know what I found? This work makes it really easy to see where I’m adding to what I think the problem is and to see an alternative that’s present and honors what’s really true for me right then and there. When I let it be that easy (I’m still learning) my experience of it changes, but that has completely changed how my situation plays out and my relationships with everyone. I’ve felt a massive unburdening in the past few months, and I’ve also released so much of the absurd need to control other people’s experiences so I wouldn’t be uncomfortable. "

    Andy G

  • "Melanie is so intuitive and tuned in to her inner wisdom that everything we worked on resonated deeply with my needs. She has been a deep inspiration and a source of support and love in and outside her sessions. I have for her a deep sense of admiration and gratitude, and strongly recommend working with her to those that wish to go beyond what they consider possible."

    Sasha C

  • "I can’t find a better word to describe my experience working with Melanie than Extraordinary. There’s something beyond the linear understanding and unfolding of every session, a depth that can only be measured against the depth you’ve gone to within yourself before."

    Julie S

  • "Every session with her was a break through for me. She has a natural talent for holding her clients with gentleness, ease and exquisite nurturing care that I have never experienced with anyone else. I can’t recommend her enough as your guide on your journey. Melanie is Magic!"

    Iryna S

  • "Melanie is an absolute pleasure to interact with. Spending time with her I have felt both safely held in her warm compassion and gently challenged to rise up into my highest self. She combines her creativity, intelligence and warmth in a special configuration of compassionate truth. I would highly recommend taking the opportunity to meet and work with her."
