Dr. Melinda Hanyecz-Zay

Hi, I’m Dr. Melinda Zay — certified coach, polyvagal and trauma-informed practitioner, neuro-inclusive and neurodiversity-affirming coach, executive and leadership development coach, and sound-therapy practitioner.

I help clients navigate life with greater clarity, resilience, and grounded confidence by working at the level where real change happens:
the nervous system.

My coaching blends neuroscience, sound-therapy, polyvagal theory, trauma-informed approaches, modern leadership and assertive communication frameworks to create a safe, supportive space for transformation. Together, we explore what your system needs to regulate, reconnect, and access the strengths that have always been there.
Clients come to me during moments of transition, overwhelm, or redefinition — whether they’re facing:

- ADHD or executive functioning challenges
- Midlife shifts and menopause
- Burnout, anxiety, or chronic dysregulation
- Parenting stress or feeling stuck in reactive patterns
- Leadership pressures or high-performance environments

You don't need to “try harder.”
You need support that understands how your brain and body work — and honors your unique situation and wiring.
If you’re ready to feel more grounded, more empowered, and more yourself, I’m here to help you take the next step.
