Meet Melinda Reece Fletcher

Founder, Ayurvedic Practitioner and PhD Candidate

Welcome! I’m Melinda Reece Fletcher, a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, Vedic Counselor, Integrative Somatic Healing Trauma Coach, and Panchakarma Specialist. With over 20 years of experience in holistic healing, I guide you on a transformative journey toward vibrant health, self-discovery, and empowerment.

My work is rooted in both personal and professional experience. Having overcome childhood trauma, anxiety, and challenges with eating disorders, I deeply understand the power of healing and the path to reclaiming one’s well-being. This journey fuels my commitment to helping others reconnect with their true selves and unlock their innate capacity to heal.

Currently pursuing graduate studies in psychology, I integrate modern somatic techniques with the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda to offer you holistic and compassionate support, aligning mind, body, and spirit for lasting transformation.

At Sattva Wellness, I am here to empower you to live with joy, freedom, and a deep sense of wholeness. Let’s begin your sacred journey of self-discovery and growth, reconnecting with your true essence and stepping into your highest potential.

About Sattva Wellness

Sattva Wellness II, now located at Omni in the heart of South Lake Tahoe, is a space dedicated to healing, empowerment, and transformation. After the birth of my son, I felt called to open Sattva Wellness Center, inspired by a deep sense of purpose and a desire to create a place where others could experience healing and growth. As I step into this next chapter of my doctoral work in somatic psychology, I’ve relocated to Omni Tahoe, a vibrant hub for hot yoga and fitness, to further expand and deepen the offerings of Sattva Wellness.

Sattva Wellness blends the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with modern somatic psychology, creating a holistic approach to mind-body wellness. Each service is designed to support the integration of body, mind, and spirit, guiding you toward greater alignment, vitality, and inner peace. Whether through personalized Ayurvedic guidance, therapeutic bodywork, or somatic practices, Sattva Wellness fosters a nurturing environment where you can heal, rejuvenate, and reconnect with your true self.

  • "I am so grateful to Melinda for all the sage advice she has given me over a personally turbulent 4 years. Using a uniquely Ayurvedic perspective, Melinda patiently listened to my stories, then gently reminded me of the resources I have within. She celebrated my wins enthusiastically, and kindly repeated her wisdoms until they sunk in. She referred me to books, experts, musicians and others who became invaluable resources as well. I highly recommend Melinda to anyone who feels out of balance and is looking for tools and support to find your inner voice so that you may learn to find your own balance within."

    With eternal gratitude! Namaste 🩷 Laura E.
