With Love, Reflection, and New Beginnings – The MEL(T) Dose is Back

Hi Babes,

After 4.5 months away from the studios in ATX—three of those in full maternity leave and, for the first time in my entire aesthetics career, absolutely zero work—I returned to PHX with Baby Ever in tow.

Walking back into the studios with fresh eyes and renewed energy, gathering for my first full team meeting, and introducing everyone to my special human felt like stepping into a whole new era.

Before I left, I thought I had B.B.E. (big birthing energy). But what I didn’t realize was that everything leading up to actually bringing my baby boy earthside (in our bedroom!) was still gestation. The weaving of the chrysalis.

Postpartum, as many of you mamas know, is not for the faint of heart. It held the highest highs, the lowwwest lows, and the kinds of things only another mother can truly understand.

Emerging from that fourth trimester, I see now that this is the harvest season—not just for me personally, but for MELT. We’re gathering the fruits of seeds planted long ago, grounding deeper roots, and savoring the abundance that’s here.

WHAT’S TAKING ROOT AT MELT

Our Team
I’m endlessly proud of my team for nurturing our community and keeping the energy flowing while I was away. Their devotion, creativity, and grace continue to inspire me. We’ve rooted our leadership team even deeper, promoting two of our own babes into management so there’s more shared strength and support as MELT grows into its next chapter.

Our Products
Our signature Mu Juice was fully reformulated (and somehow the best got even better!). SOFTEN Ceremonial Cacao, a true project of my heart, officially came into the world. Our brow gels and MIRACLES perfume rollers now shine in stunning new packaging. And we’ve got more skincare upgrades in the works!

Our Studios Renewed
Our Mothership HQ is getting a full revamp as we wrap our sixth year in this location. It’s wild what a fresh coat of paint and intentional design can do to surprise and delight!

And MINI MELT isn’t gonna be so mini anymore—she’s more than doubling in size as we stretch into the space next door, bringing a whole lotta newness to serve you in Midtown.

Our Services
We’ve trimmed what no longer served us, refined our menu, and are making space for a few brand-new services I cannot wait to share with you soon.

Our Podcast
Building Beauty is now streaming on all platforms, with new episodes birthing each week! Give her a listen here!

 

WAKING DREAMS

These days, I’m back in my groove, traveling between AZ and TX each month. Walking through our studios with Ever snuggled close in his carrier is the vision I held in my heart for so many years made real—growing a business, a culture, and a community I can nurture right alongside motherhood. Choosing BOTH, always.

Thank you, from my whole heart, for being part of this journey—whether you’ve been here since the early days or are just finding your way into our MELTIVERSE.

Here’s to grounding, rooting, and receiving the abundance of abundance this season is offering us. 

Big love,
Melissa
