Reconnect. Breathe. Create.

Meet Your Guide

Hi, I’m Melina, the founder of Existing Human. My journey began as a Royal Air Force officer and defence survival instructor, where I learned the value of resilience, focus, and performance. Over time, I sought to integrate these principles with more space for creativity and wellness, leading me to discover the mind-body connection and the transformative power of breath.

Today, I empower individuals and businesses to embrace holistic wellness through tailored spa treatments, breathwork coaching, and creative expression. Whether it’s finding relaxation, improving health, or unleashing creativity, my work is about helping you reconnect with yourself and thrive in every aspect of life.

What Makes Us an Existing Human?

We’re all more than just what we do. At our core, being human means being made up of three key elements:

Creative Spark

Creativity isn’t just about art—it’s about how we solve problems, adapt to challenges, and find new ways forward. Whether you’re figuring out how to authentically express yourself or finding better ways to connect with others, your creative spark is what helps you thrive and brings in innovative ideas.

Pranna (Life Force)
Breath is your anchor and life energy. It’s what keeps you steady, calm, and focused when life throws you a curveball. Tuning into your breath helps you regulate stress, stay alert, and recover quickly—even on your busiest or most demanding days.

Physicality
Your body carries everything—your thoughts, emotions, and the tension you hold from daily life. It needs care, too. Massage is one way to release stress and reset, giving your body the chance to recover so you can keep showing up at your best.

How This Leads to a Balanced, High-Performance Life

Life can be demanding. To perform at your best, and to hone fulfilment and ease, you need balance—not just more grit or pushing harder.

When you take care of your creative spark, your breath, and your body, you create the foundation for a life where you’re not just surviving but thriving. At Existing Human, I help you:

Reconnect With Your Creativity: Solve problems and approach challenges with clarity and fresh energy.
Fix Your Breathing: Cultivate a healthy, natural breath to stay calm under pressure and bounce back from stress faster.
Look After Your Body: Relieve tension and restore balance through massage, so your physical self can keep up with the demands of your life.

This is about taking it back to basics in a way that feels steady, clear, and sustainable. When these three parts work together, you can perform at your highest level while staying grounded and in calm control.

Let’s work together to bring balance back into your life, so you can feel more like you again.

Testimonials

What My Clients Say

★★★★★

I had a lovely massage. Melina was very caring and professional. I had an oil massage with a bit of reiki at the start and it felt extremely relaxing; just what I needed to relieve my tense muscles. The venue also is very welcoming and the massage table was the most comfortable I have ever tried. I highly recommend Melina’s massage therapies. Thank you, Melina!

Jordan Smith

★★★★★

I never realised how much my breathing patterns were impacting my stress and energy levels. Melina guided me through simple yet powerful techniques that left me feeling calmer, more focused, and deeply connected to my body. Exploring the breath has truly been a life-changing experience.

Taylor Johnson

★★★★★

Art life coaching sessions helped me articulate feelings and ideas I couldn’t express with words. Through this process, I connected with deeper parts of myself beyond my immediate thoughts, unlocking a sense of clarity and creativity I didn’t know I had. It’s been both grounding and liberating.
