I'm So Glad You're Here.
God has promised plans to prosper you and not to harm you; to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
Sometimes it's difficult to see the forest from the trees when we're knees-deep in our issue. You may know what you "should" do, but you can't seem to do it. Some days it all just seems impossible.
Many of us are like Paul: "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do. But what I hate, I do." (Romans 7:15).
I'm sure we can all relate to that. However, with some guidance, you can easily be free from the blocks that have been stopping you from being your best self and all that God has called you to be.
About your Coach...
I'm Melissa Taylor and I'm a Christ-centered life coach, certified as a Master Trainer in Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), and a Master Practitioner in Timeline Therapy™ and Hypnotherapy, with a background in organizational psychology for over 15 years.
Mindset is my jam. And I'm all about partnering with you to rock that battlefield in your mind so you can be victorious in all areas of your life.
Developing self-control over my mind and my actions hasn't been easy for me (is it for anyone??). I grew up in a home that didn't foster great communication and cultivated less-than-fabulous relationships. While everyone was trying the best they could, I just simply didn't have proper role models to succeed in my career or relationship goals.
Yet I refused to be a victim of my circumstance.
So I went on a tumultuous journey of self-discovery and found God along the way.
I began serving in leadership roles at the church, teaching mindset classes based on Biblical principals for several years before discovering the amazing tools of NLP and hypnotherapy to access positive change at both the conscious and unconscious levels.
When I began my coaching practice nearly a decade ago, I didn't know how to bring Christ into my work, and something always felt like it was missing.
How can we, as believers, talk about renewing our minds without God's help? And, in turn, how can we be our best for God or others if we don't have the tools to control and change our thoughts/behaviors?
Yet I still tried to separate the two, which led me further away from God for a few years before finally coming back to Christ and gaining clarity about the life I'm meant to live.
I'm not perfect. Not even close. I've made so many mistakes. I've gone through two divorces. Anxiety, anti-depressants, weight-gain, disease, hopelessness. However, every time I tried to work my problems out alone, without God, I felt lost and devoid of my purpose.
It wasn't until I merged Christ into these tools for self-development that I became truly aware of who I am in His image and how I can do my part to be the best I can be for myself, others, and God.
I've utilized these mindset tools, along with Biblical principals, to stay healthy, develop positive habits for success in my business, show up as my best self for my kids, have better connection in relationships, have a thriving marriage, and serve the church with my wonderful husband, Pastor Estus Taylor.
As your Christ-centered coach, I will partner with you and the Holy Spirit to change negative past programming and limiting beliefs so you, too, can thrive in all areas of your life!

Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP)
Created in the 1970's by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, Neurolinguistic Programming, or NLP, has been coined, "the study of excellence." It is a method of retraining the mind through mental exercises, in order to produce consistent and desirable behavioral results in your life.
Neuro defines the mind, linguistic = language, and programming means retraining.
Hence, NLP is retraining the mind to communicate the most effective language towards ourselves and to others for mental clarity and harmony with ourselves and others.
It's also been coined, "the study of excellence." NLP processes can be used for success in health, relationships, business, and all other areas of your life. It is extremely effective at producing positive changes quickly and comfortably to match your specific needs, drive your personal growth, and enhance your role in any particular areas you'd like to address. NLP is a great way to help you delve deeper into the root cause of your issue, by guiding a series of specific questions, visualizations, or changes of perception.
NLP techniques can be used alone on a conscious level, but can also be highly effective when combined with hypnotherapy to gain breakthrough changes and achieve your desired results.
Christ-centered Hypnotherapy
You may be thinking, Christ-centered hypnotherapy? Wait, what?
There are many misconceptions about hypnotherapy out there, as well as much debate about whether hypnotherapy is acceptable to do as a Christian due to fear about giving up your control to someone else.
Maybe you've even had the impression of people clucking and flapping their arms like a chicken with a stage hypnotist at the fair, which is purely for entertainment.
However, there are many types of hypnosis, and therapeutic hypnotherapy has been used in the medical and psychology fields for centuries to alleviate physical and mental ailments.
Salt + Light Hypnotherapy and Coaching provides therapeutic hypnosis, where you are fully in control, and my methods are based on the work by the famous psychiatrist, Dr. Milton Erickson.
The Ericksonian method is indirect hypnosis, where therapeutic behavioral change is achieved by conversing through metaphors, reframing, and stories, rather than direct orders.
This form of hypnotherapy, combined with mental exercises of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and Biblical principals, provides wonderful healing at both the conscious and unconscious levels.
Hypnotherapy can best be described as heightened awareness or focus in a relaxed state. This relaxed state is called "trance."
People often mistakenly think that being hypnotized means being asleep and that they can be made to do things while they're asleep. This is simply not true.
Hypnosis takes place in a relaxed state, where your brain waves are in the alpha and theta states, which are similar to being in a nice daydream, a great massage, or in meditation.
Being in a relaxed state is optimal for inner-change, as it allows us to "turn off" our mind chatter and be in a more resourceful, imaginative, learning state.
Hypnotherapy is similar to guided meditation, where you are awake and still in control.
All sessions are remote so you can relax in the comfort of your own home.
The Unconscious Mind
The benefits of hypnotherapy lie in its wonderful ability to tap into the part of our mind that stores all of our memories, past experiences, beliefs, and healing: the unconscious mind. Some also refer to it as the subconscious.
Dr. Erickson believed that we experience trances every day at varying degrees. For example, while daydreaming on our drive to work, "zoning out" in a meeting, watching t.v., or engaging in creative work.
Athletes or artists may even call it their "flow state" or being "in the zone."
Even if we're not in a deep trance, our unconscious mind is still listening; the way it listens for danger while you sleep.
The unconscious mind's main purpose is for survival and to help you. It pumps your blood, brings oxygen into your lungs, and heals your body without telling it to.
It represses memories to keep you safe, stores your learnings, helps you remember things you need to remember (most of the time), and runs your automatic internal programming and behaviors.
Have you ever wanted to change your behavior, but every time you tried to make the effort to change, you did the complete opposite of what you wanted?
For example, when I wanted to lose weight, I knew I shouldn't be eating certain things, but I did anyway. I knew I should be exercising, but I chose not to instead.
Our unconscious mind runs 88% of our behavior, which is why it's so important to access that part of our mind for change.
If we know what we should be doing, but we do something else, then it must mean that the behavior is running at an unconscious level.
Clients often come to me once they have "tried it all" and are ready to seek change at a lasting and deeper level. It's completely "normal" to be skeptical at first, especially being that you may have previously tried various methods to produce behavioral change that have not given you the results you wanted.
However, you will most likely find that once you allow yourself to access a deeper part of yourself, and with the Holy Spirit's help, you will open the door to countless possibilities for healing, self-exploration, and positive change.
When we do our part to look within to change our negative behaviors and thought patterns, while asking God for help, we put ourselves in an incredible position to allow our blessings to flow, and be all that Christ has intended for us.
Timeline Therapy® (TLT)
Time Line Therapy® (TLT) was created by Dr. Tad James, and utilizes methods to help you be free of issues from your past so that you can move forward with your desires and goals for the future. Time Line Therapy® has become widely known over the years as a very effective way to help clients achieve their desired results quickly, while creating comfortable and lasting changes.
Salt + Light Hypnotherapy and Coaching effectively merges Time Line Therapy™ techniques, in combination with Hypnotherapy, NLP, and Biblical principles, to enable you to be free of issues from your past that have been blocking you from living your life the most successful way possible.
Issues and traumatic events, that have persisted since as early as childhood, can suddenly be neutral memories, freeing you to live your life more powerfully and gain emotional control over your life.
Time Line Therapy™ can help you break free of:
- Negative Emotions/Feelings
- Limiting Beliefs/Decisions
- Anxiety
- Grief
- Trauma
- And more...
And help you:
- Set & achieve goals or outcomes.
- Live your life more freely.
- Live your purpose in Christ.
- And create the life you want now.
Lasting behavioral change begins at an unconscious level. By becoming aware of your "time line," you will learn how you store all of your unconscious memories at a subconscious level. Conscious decisions to change are most effective when conducted at this level.
As best described by Dr. Tad James, The Time Line Therapy® process allows you to work at the unconscious level to release the effects of negative beliefs, decisions and emotions arising from past experiences. It brings about changes in “inappropriate” programming in minutes rather than days, months or years.
Unwarranted emotional reactions such as unreasonable sadness, anger, depression, anxiety and fear or phobic reactions are responsible for preventing people achieving what they want in life.
At Salt + Light Christ-Centered Hypnotherapy and Coaching, Time Line Therapy®, used in combination with NLP, hypnotherapy, and Biblical principles, is an extremely effective way to help you gain emotional control over your life.
How it Works:
My goal working with you is to help you discover your own inner-resources and share powerful mindset tools, along with Biblical teachings, to overcome the mental or emotional challenges that are holding you back from your purpose in Christ.
As a certified Master trainer of Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), master hypnotherapist, and an organizational psychologist, I will bring forth my large toolkit of resources to help you let go of self-sabotage, self-confidence issues, fears, and anxiety to be happier, courageous, and more aligned with your identity in Christ, in just 4 sessions.
So what's the catch?
Your 100% commitment to step up your life and live the life you desire. Without your full desire to make massive changes in your life, you will not achieve the your full results.
Despite my wish to turn water into wine , I (sadly) cannot.
I cannot just make your issues disappear in a poof, but God can. However, He can't move mountains if you have little faith (Matthew 17:20). God promises that renewing our minds with God's truth is the key to our finding freedom and His purpose (Philippians 4:8).
Sometimes God delivers us from our sin and faults instantly, but a lot of time we hold ourselves back from His blessings because we feel unworthy, unconfident, depressed, anxious; and we just can't seem to get past our past, or out of our own ways.
Just like God gave us medicine and doctors, He also uses people like me to have these amazing psychology skills to help you access your subconscious and create deep level change for lasting results.
The only thing required is your deep commitment to allowing personal transformation to happen. In return, I will give you my full, 100% commitment to giving you a customized program to inspire change, too.
I customize each session specifically to your needs & desires. All of my coaching techniques are delivered very methodically, and each session builds upon the work from the previous session. No two sessions will ever be exactly alike.
Therefore, in order to achieve your full result, and for both you and me to be successful, I request your commitment to at least 4 sessions and to attend weekly during the duration of your program.
The 30 Day Renewed Mind program includes 4 weekly sessions and some bonus content for your enhanced results.
The Required 30 Min. Discovery Call: This program is not for everyone. Therefore, this is a time for me to assess if you're issue is a good fit for this type of program, as well as it being the perfect opportunity for you to meet me and for me to explain to you how, together, we can achieve your outcome.
Also, you'll gain a clear understanding of how I work, while making sure that you feel confident in making the best decision for yourself.
WHAT TO DO NOW:
1. Book your complimentary 30 minute consultation to see if working with each other is a right fit (a valid credit card is required to book to prevent no-shows. The consultation is completely free and you will not be charged if you attend.
AFTER THE CONSULTATION:
Session 1: Should we both decide to work with each other, then we will identify your core limiting beliefs that are holding you back from being the best version of yourself. We will utilize both conscious and unconscious processes for deep level change, along with scriptural principles to support this change. The first session builds the framework for your subsequent sessions and you will be given weekly exercises to complete prior to your next session. First session 90 minutes.
Session 2: Measuring your progress from the previous session, we will begin building unconscious strategies to begin creating success on auto-pilot. Prayer and scripture built in. 60 minutes each session after the first.
Session 3: Again, measuring your progress from the previous session, we will continue building unconscious strategies, getting your mind to discover how to create significant change at a deep level. Conscious coaching may be implemented to shift negative mindsets for a holistic approach to change, for both the conscious and subconscious parts of the mind. Prayer and scripture added.
Session 4: The best session! Here we will tie in all of the work from the beginning, and deepen the reprogramming of your mind, to lock in your transformation at the core level. We will measure your progress and if you feel you have all the tools you need to continue your progress on your own, then off you go into your new God-purposed life! Most clients feel a dramatic shift in their lives at this point; however, if we decide you're not quite where you want to be yet, then we will continue our work for another session or two.
My clients tell me that our work is extremely insightful, and that I'm a tough cookie when it comes to keeping you accountable, but the results are astounding and totally worth it. Throughout our work, your limiting beliefs will be challenged and your issues will be reflected at you like an explosive mirror; but not to fear: our work aims to let go of the baggage of the past holding you down and creates a positive, hopeful outlook on life that's more aligned with God's purpose for you!

"I was really suffering with a lot of anxiety prior to my session with Melissa. So much so that I couldn't sleep at night, and felt anxious every time I came home. Melissa really helped me to overcome the challenges I faced on such a deep level, that even after 1 session, I was shocked that my anxiety had disappeared."
