Zachary Stirewalt

Zachary is a MELT Method instructor who recently moved to Oregon from North Carolina. His love for MELT comes from a deep appreciation for the mind-body connection. A personal practice incorporating The MELT Method and meditation have granted him the opportunity to appreciate nervous system regulation. Certified in 2022, he works with clients to decrease pain, inflammation, and stress, as well as increase mobility and strength. 

His experience with serious mental illness cultivated a desire to understand mental health from a holistic perspective. In 2022, Zachary received a Bachelors of Science in Public Health focusing on mental illness prevention from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. This degree, his MELT certification, and a 10-year meditation practice all play into his personal practice and goal to maintain mental wellness. 

Zachary hopes to show you that it's possible to find a new relationship with mental and physical stress by shifting your perspective through your own personal experience with MELT and meditation. 

Outside of the studio, you can find Zachary and his pup Nova hiking, snowboarding, and enjoying other nature-related activities. He also regularly attends meditation retreats ranging from 3-10 days in length.
