2025: What the F**k was that?!

Seriously. What the actual fuck. I thought about making a list of all the unbelievable, unconstitutional, and unconscionable things 2025 has wrought…but I just can’t stomach it. Nor do I want to put anyone, especially you, through that.

Every year, I do a New Year’s class. Generally, it’s about goal and intention setting where we take a dive into trance to embed those things deeper. We look for alignment and congruency to take care of any cognitive dissonance. And while I’ll still be making space for that, this year will also have a large component dedicated to clearing all the shit 2025 has thrown at us.

 

I want to focus on emotional balance, resilience, and fortifying our inner compass. I want us strong for what might lie ahead. From setting up internal systems of release to creating an unshakable core of integrity (whatever that looks like for you).

 

As someone who has been thrown from my center one too many times this year, I tend to teach what I need. And son of a bitch if I don’t need to keep my shit together in the face of all this cruelty and ignorance. And if I know my people, you just might need this too.

 

Am I right? I’m gonna do this on December 30th at 5:00pm (EST), so we step into the new year prepared. And while I know these dates are “just another day” we do have a lifetime of symbolic gestures and priming around the new year, new you, concept. 

 

And speaking of concepts, I was never one for “resolutions” but let’s go back to the idea of resolute, which is “admirably purposeful, determined, and unwavering”. 

 

Yeah. That I can get behind.

Praise For Melissa’s Work

  • The therapist’s therapist. The coach’s coach. The best of the best. That is how I describe Melissa Tiers. I am a psychiatrist with 40 years experience treating individuals and couples. One workshop with Melissa and my knowledge, understanding and awareness of what I was actually doing and how I could do it even better and more effectively was transformative. Melissa understands more about how the current research in neuroscience truly works than anyone I have ever studied with at any institution. She has an open and curious mind and she knows and connects information in ways that only super computers or incredibly gifted people are able to do. This was the best investment of time and money I have ever made for both my personal growth and professional development.

     Larry Drell, M.D., Medical Director at Optimum Health Institute

  • As a Columbia-trained psychiatrist, I thought I knew a thing or two about therapy. Five years ago, I had my first training in hypnosis with Melissa Tiers, and she immediately began to blow my mind with her challenging perspectives, attuned teaching, and powerful hypnotic skills. Her influence has transformed the way I practice psychiatry, and many of my patients have been the direct benefactors. Very few clinicians come close to Melissa's versatility in utilizing and teaching these skills. She remains one of the most talented, creative, and generous human beings I've ever encountered

    Anthony J. Tranguch MD PhD, Private Practice Psychiatrist & Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Columbia University

  • Melissa Tiers is an extremely talented hypnotherapist. In just 3 sessions, she helped me restore my sleep. I now sleep for nine hours a night, uninterrupted.

    Gabrielle Bernstein, New York Times Best Selling Author & Speaker

  • “Learning these change work methods and tools from Melissa honestly changed the entire way I coach and relate to human beings!! Over the past 10-months, this new way of working has allowed me to bring through SO much more of my medicine & magic, and the people I am working with are noticing it in a big way. I feel like a whole new person. This shit WORKS! Get your butt in this course and let it change your life. SERIOUSLY!!”

    Sara Noble, Life and Authenticity Coach for Creative Souls

  • Melissa Tiers is simply an amazing teacher. She makes learning an enjoyable event, or beginning of an event, really, because as you get more comfortable using the skills, you will find yourself thinking: “Oh! That works on so many levels!” Melissa is a walking reference library and will amaze with the depth and scope of her knowledge.

    Dan Cleary, Hypnosis instructor and author of "Targeting Pain"

  • Melissa has rare talents as a clinician. I went to Melissa many years ago for hypnosis for insomnia. I was also one of her earliest students, in her first hypnosis certification class. I haven't stopped learning from her since. Melissa has rare natural talents as a clinician. She is also more curious that Curious George and will go through books like a wild fire spreading though a prairie. You will rarely catch Melissa in the dark about something new in the field. Then there is her personality. She is as funny as she is warm and smart. And one of the most no-nonsense, let's-get-on-with-it type of person you will ever meet. The combination of all of the above makes her rather exceptional, whether the encounter is as a client or as a student. Refreshing and healing at the same time. Kudos to Melissa.

  • You should consider taking ANY class from Melissa Tiers if you want to learn how to be transformed and how to provide transformative experiences for your clients. Melissa has opened up a universe of possibilities for me as an integrative life coach. When you leave Melissa’s trainings (but you won’t ever want to), you leave with a toolbox overflowing with ways to help your clients change what they want to change. But what I love most about Melissa is her humanity. She cares for her clients and she cares about her students. She wants you to be just as kick ass as she is. Sign up for life changing learnings.

    -Kate Krishtal

  • I think you already have one from me, but I'd also like to say that I've spent my life being educated, went through academia, got my PhD and so on. You, Melissa, are by far one of the best teachers I've ever met and worked with and it is just such a joy to learn from someone who loves to teach, loves their work, and who never stops growing and learning. You are an excellent mentor. And I especially love how you keep up on all the literature and continue to weave it all into your work and share it with students, it's the most transparent learning experience I think I've ever had.

    -Shanti Berryman

  • I had no idea I could accelerate this quickly and profoundly. The ripple effects of being able to transform anxiety in myself, my family, and my patients are profound. Thank you for helping me see my unconscious limiting beliefs about being a person of color while emerging in this industry and helping me shatter the fuck out of them. So much gratitude for holding this mystical neuroscience space for all of us.

    Lynette Toslik MD

  • I’ve been through a LOT of education and trainings in my life. I wasn’t prepared to actually change on so many levels in this training, which was hands down the most impactful educational experience I’ve had. I feel like I can sit down with almost any human with almost any problem and really help them, even in one short session. You have shown us how to tap into something exquisite, magical, energetic… and scientific and research-backed, all in one. There is no doubt in my mind that our work will ripple out and continue to change the world.

    Amy Briggs Klink

  • This was the coaching course I have been looking for, which resonates with my work ethic. I’ve never felt aligned with listening and getting told to do what to do by a coach. I wanted to become a coach that empowers, an enabler, not an accountability partner nor an authoritative figure. I believe in people’s capabilities to care for themselves and change. This course was sent by the universe to me to change my life and many more lives to come.

    Ines Yong

  • Melissa doesn’t hold back on giving you every resource you need to become the best Integrative change worker you can be. Her unflagging commitment to her students is matched only by the depth of her subject matter knowledge.Put more simply - she cares and she knows her shit.

    -Allie Puetz Irwin

  • I have finally taken my last training course. How do I know? Melissa retaught me how to think for myself to resolve ANY client issue. Wow. My clients and I thank you for training us to use our own subconscious to resource our best life!

    - Cheryl Banko

  • Melissa’s training this month has radically upleveled my client work! I’ve been a transformational coach for 10 years and the tools and skills I learned from Melissa have created an exponential improvement in the results my clients are getting.

    Leandra Rose

  • I've 3X my income since our session, got on stage the night after and booked three networking events since then. I am not the same person, and I was in your chair less than 15 minutes.
