Meet Melinda Reece
Founder & Ayurvedic Practitioner
I’m a holistic practitioner, intuitive guide, and mama devoted to helping others heal, grow, and reconnect with who they truly are. With over a decade of experience in Ayurveda, bodywork, and soul-centered coaching, I support people in creating lives rooted in vitality, clarity, and emotional balance.
My path here wasn’t linear. I’ve walked through trauma, eating disorders, and burnout, and slowly, through the wisdom of Ayurveda, nervous system healing, and therapeutic support, I found my way back to wholeness. Now, I offer the same compassionate care I once needed.
At Sattva Wellness in South Lake Tahoe, I offer therapeutic bodywork, integrative coaching, and Ayurvedic support tailored to each client. I also work with clients virtually and continue to deepen my path as a therapist-in-training with a clinical focus on somatic psychology and trauma healing.
I believe true healing happens when we listen, to the body, to the soul, to the cycles within and around us. My work blends ancient wisdom with modern tools to help you feel more grounded, clear, and connected to true health, happiness and freedom.
Whether you're navigating stress, trauma, emotional blocks, or simply want to feel better in your body, I’m here to support your healing journey.
If I can transform my life, I know you can too. And I’d be honored to walk that path with you.

About Sattva Wellness
Sattva Wellness is the result of 25 years devoted to healing, Ayurveda, and body-based practices. My roots began in Santa Cruz, working as a Panchakarma specialist under Dr. Suhas at Ayurvedic Healing. After moving to South Lake Tahoe and practicing at Elevate Wellness as Tahoe Ayurveda, motherhood brought a new level of clarity and purpose. From that space, Sattva Wellness was born, a place of deep healing and transformation.
Now based at Omni in the heart of South Lake Tahoe, I weave Ayurveda with somatic psychology, offering bodywork, soul coaching, and nervous system support. Sattva means truth, clarity, and harmony, the essence of this work.
