You don't have to figure
out
your marriageΒ by yourself.
I'm Melanie Owens. Married for 33 years, mother of eight, and for three decades I've sat with women who love their husbands yet still feel lonely in their own marriages. If that's you, I want you to know two things: deeper connection and intimacy are possible, and...I can help you get there.
- βA woman who understands what you're carrying, not just theory.
- βA real plan to get there, starting with the marriage you already have.
- βFree 25-minute call. No pressure, no judgment.
HOW I COACH
This isn't about fixing you.Β
It's about growing in your strengths.
You don't need someone to just focus on everything wrong. You need someone who listens first, then helps you discover your unique, God-given strengths so you can give and receive love, closeness, and trust.
That's what coaching is.
Understanding
Your story is sacred. Listening is my superpower. From our very first conversation, you'll feel heard, not judged.
Practical
Custom assessments. Personal goals. Transformational skills you can use right away.
Rooted in Faith
Your marriage is worth fighting for. Grounded in the biblical, Sacramental vision of God's plan for marriage, I stand with you.
A simple path back to each other.
Book your call
A short conversation, woman to woman, about what's going on and whether coaching fits.
Build your plan
We name what you actually want for your marriage, then map out how to get there.
Start growing
Regular sessions and real support, so change doesn't stop after one good conversation.
What women are saying.

Only by the grace of God, I committed to sessions with Melanie. I hesitated for many years until it was undeniable that I needed guidance. When I was ready to be vulnerable, trusting and cooperating, God led me to Melanie. In just the first 3 sessions, I felt trust, care and confident under her guidance. She prepared me well and was clear with all communication. Thank you for being a part of my journey, Melanie. God is good.

I am so grateful to Melanie for her valuable services as a marriage coach! Her prayerful sessions led by the Holy Spirit and The Blessed Mother have enabled me to have hope in a desperate marriage situation. She has guided me and led me to tools that I can use to help me continue to gain a more loving and intimate relationship with my husband!d.

I HIGHLY recommend working with Melanie!!! It is absolutely worth your time!! In just a few sessions, she helped me overcome thoughts, behaviors, and problems in my marriage (of 27 years) that I had been unable to make any progress in before. I saw instant improvement in the areas that I had been stuck in for many, many years! Don't wait another day to contact her! You'll be so happy you did.

About Melanie Owens
Married to Damon for 33 years.Β Mother of eight, and a full-time homeschooling mom. I hold a degree in Sociology from UC Santa Barbara and a Master's in Social Work from UC Berkeley.
Since 1993, Damon and I have trainedΒ over 20,000 couplesΒ in marriage, natural family planning, and the Theology of the Body. I know what it is to carry a full house and still want more closeness with my husband. I'd love to talk with you.
Now, as a grandmother to many, Iβm deeply grateful for the countless blessings, lessons, and graces found in the beautiful messiness of family life. Discovering the unexpected joys, surprises, and challenges that continue to come with a growing family continues to be a giftβalong with experiencing Godβs never-ending faithfulness and transforming grace every step of the way. Ministry has been an important part of my entire married life. Iβve served through Pre-Cana, NFP education, marriage retreats, speaking, and mentoring couples and women. Iβm the co-founder of Joyful Ever After marriage ministry, the EPIC Intimacy program, and co-host of the 2020 Catholic Marriage Summit. Saint Teresa of Avila reminds us that the first step toward holiness and union with God is self-knowledge. Throughout my many years in ministry, Iβve discovered a deep passion for helping women better understand themselves through the truth of who God created them to be. As a Catholic Mindset Coach, Certified Clifton Strengths and Temperaments Coach, and Master of Social Work (MSW), I help women discover their God-given identity, strengths, and mission. Through greater self-knowledge and personal development, I love helping women recognize how their unique gifts can flourish within their marriages, relationships, families, and daily lives.
