Integrated training

Embodied Leadership

WELCOME

At MELD, we use our science-based somatic method to help men feel better and live more fulfilling lives. We also train mental health and leadership professionals to utilize the MELD Method, elevating the care and consciousness of those who work directly with men. Stress and trauma affects nearly every single person, and impacts men in unique and complex ways, influencing their vitality, relationships, and overall health. 

By way of the MELD Integrated Training, you enter a distinctive, forward thinking community that takes ownership of the promise of a better future, that includes therapists, coaches, medical practitioners, entrepreneurs, healers, and leaders, who understand there is more beyond the model we’ve been given. 

The Integrated Training is for you whether you’re working on yourself, or your work is helping others. We believe there’s never been a better time to learn these skills, which not only benefit the man, but also send waves of positive change beyond him, into his family, his circles, and his community. We have the potential to make a real difference in the lives of men – and the people they touch – and we’re honored for you to join us!

The MELD Integrated Training is a highly experiential personal development and professional certification program, offering individuals and practitioners alike the skills to address the roots of stress and trauma in men.

INTEGRATED TRAINING
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

From insight to integration – so your presence changes the room.

You don’t need another peak experience. You need a body that can hold it. The MELD Integrated Training fuses somatic intelligence with living community so you can lead, love, and facilitate from embodied truth.

Somatic science × attachment-aware practice × living community.

✓ Grounded in research and refined through thousands of hours with men.
✓ Functional, teachable method—not theory—applicable at home, at work, and in the room.
✓ Communal coherence that makes change stick and scale.

MELD integrates what others keep separate. It is functional men’s work – measurable, repeatable, transferable. This isn’t wellness theater. It’s embodied skill you can use immediately.

Science-based somatics: practical nervous-system tools grounded in research.

Bio-communal growth: men change fastest in healthy groups; we build them deliberately.

Embodied Tech™: a field-tested stack that restores coherence and resilience.

Proven track record: decades of teaching thousands of men.
