About Melanie Shively

With my background in education and years of experience in the classroom, I bring a thoughtful, practical approach to relationship coaching. I understand the weight of a marriage reaching a breaking point because I have seen—and lived—the struggle of trying everything from traditional counseling to endless research without seeing results.

It wasn't until I implemented the proven framework of The Six Intimacy Skills™ in my marriage that I witnessed true, lasting transformation. Today, I am passionate about helping women restore connection, respect, and joy in their marriages. My collective journey is evidence that your marriage can move into a new season marked by hope and deeper connection.

  • Feeling resentful as you keep pouring out to your family and never seem to get the relief and space to relax that you crave?
  • Questioning whether you married the right man?
  • Feeling your marriage is distant and lonely?
  • Feeling like you’ve tried everything- couples counseling, reading self-help books, asking friends- and nothing seems to help fix the problems in your marriage?
  • Stressed because he told you he is not in love with you anymore or that he is leaving or he wants a divorce or there is another woman?

  • You can rebuild closeness, feel supported, and experience your husband caring for you again.
  • You can awaken the hero within your husband and rediscover the qualities that first made you fall in love.
  • You can go from coexisting as roommates to feeling desired, valued, and loved.
  • You can finally breathe easy as you learn practical, proven tools that bring healing and real change to your relationships.
  • You can find your way back to hope and a confident faith in the future of your relationship.
I would recommend private Intimacy Skills coaching to anyone who wants to reinforce the intimacy skills and what you've learned from reading the empowered wife or listening to the podcast.

When I received coaching by Coach Melanie, I was seeking consistency and clarity moving forward. Her personal examples showed me how to maintain the intimacy and connection I desired with my husband. Now, I am able to show up as my best self in most situations, and my husband is affectionate, attentive, and loves to fulfill my expressed desires!

Working with Melanie has been a revelation. She has a remarkable way of listening deeply and showing genuine empathy. I remember one session where I felt overwhelmed, and she simply said, "That sounds really painful." Her response made me feel like she understood my hurt and frustration – like I wasn’t alone. It wasn’t just about “fixing” things—it was about really listening and acknowledging how I felt. The more I was able to get in touch with what would take care of me, the more I discovered myself and about what I really wanted and needed.

Before working with Melanie, I was using the skills and having some positive results but I wanted more and better results. During our sessions I had a positive experience because it was a safe space to process and unpack things in my relationship and the places where I felt stuck. Coaching gave me a different set of eyes to see things differently and the opportunity to see how I was contributing to the issues in my relationship. It was like training in the skills in real time.

Working with Melanie has been such a gift. Her coaching not only reinforced my understanding of the Laura Doyle Relationship Skills, but also brought them to life in a deeply personal way. Before working with her, I was struggling with emotional turmoil in my marriage and felt stuck. She helped me see how I could show up with dignity and truly appreciate all that my husband does. The difference has been incredible—our connection is stronger than ever. We laugh more, argue less, and genuinely enjoy each other’s company again.
