“Thanks to Melissa I discovered how to shop for my personal style in exclusive Parisian only shops. Bonus, is Melissa's expertise on Parisian style and culture. I loved the art exhibits!.”
—Dana W.
"Melissa’s retreat was nothing short of life-altering. Not only is the retreat a personal, curated fashion experience, it is an opportunity to explore all Paris has to offer as a cultural mecca and foodie paradise. We ate all the delicious food, drank the best French wine, wandered the twisting cobblestone streets, and relaxed on the river Seine. I set out on this journey to elevate my style, and returned from the journey elevated in spirit, in my power as a woman, and in my connection to what matters most in life: truly living. I even returned with friendships that will last a lifetime. If you have been considering whether an adventure in Paris is just what you need in your life – trust me, it is! There is no time like the present to add this experience to your itinerary, and there is no one better to be your guide on this journey than Melissa! --"
