WELCOME TO

Text graphic with the words 'ZENSO HOUSE' in large, green, stylized letters on a black background.

This is your house—a place to land, soften, and reconnect.
Whether you're here for therapy, yoga, breathwork, workshops, supervision, or just a nervous system exhale.

Zenso House exists to help you live your most connected, authentic life. I’m Mel and I have searched the Gold Coast (and beyond) to bring you the very best in facilitators who will guide you home to your own innate knowing and self-responsibility.

Most of the people who walk through these doors have already done some work. Their lives are fine. But somewhere inside, they know something’s missing—an untapped depth, a disowned truth, a longing for more. That’s where we begin.

At Zenso House, we don’t do surface-level. We go deep—to the root of what’s holding you back. We explore the stuckness, the stories, the survival strategies that once kept you safe but now keep you small. And we do it all with science-backed tools, sacred practices, and zero judgement. This is your space to breathe, to feel, to transform.

Welcome home.

With love,
Mel & The Zenso House Family. x

ONLINE GROUP

connection is the cure

This 8-week journey blends the very best of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) education — exploring anxiety, psychological defences, and feelings — with somatic-based tools that help you merge mind and body for lasting change.

This group is by application only.
We do this to ensure we’re a good fit and that you’ll get the most out of the experience — depth, safety, and real transformation.

1:1 TRANSFORMATIVE HEALING

THERAPY + BREATHWORK

Mel take on a small number of private clients ready to go deep by blending ISTDP, breathwork, and nervous-system science to help you reconnect, regulate, and live with more clarity.

Currently full until January 2026 — but you can join the waitlist or attend one of my workshops in the meantime.

Because of the depth of this work, 1:1 sessions are by application only — this ensures we’re a good fit for one another and that the process feels supportive, safe, and transformative for you.

clinical Supervision

For psychologists, counsellors, and therapists who want to deepen their understanding of affect, anxiety, and defence mechanisms through the lens of Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP).

Sessions focus on case formulation, moment-to-moment process analysis, countertransference awareness, and developing precision in working with anxiety, resistance, and emotional breakthroughs.

Supervision is by application only to ensure alignment in learning goals, readiness, and therapeutic orientation.

THE PLACE FOR CONNECTION

Welcome to The Place for Connection – the podcast where soul meets science, and healing takes centre stage.

Hosted by psychologist, breathwork practitioner, and all-around vibe curator, Melissa Beaton, this podcast dives deep into the art and science of connection – to yourself, your community, and the big beautiful world around you.

Each episode is a juicy mix of expert wisdom and heartfelt stories from healers of ALL kinds: psychologists, bodyworkers, doulas, yogis, spiritual guides, and even the ones who heal with music, art, and a bit of magic. We’re here to inspire, uplift, and get real about what it takes to live a connected, purpose-driven life.

This isn’t your average self-help podcast. It’s a space where radical authenticity meets practical tools, where curiosity replaces judgment, and where the real work feels less like a chore and more like a calling.

Why listen?
Because you’ll leave every episode feeling seen, heard, and ready to take the next step in your own healing journey. Whether you’re a professional healer, someone seeking growth, or just here for the good vibes – this is the place for you.

At Zenso House, we believe that true healing starts with connection—to yourself, to others, to nature, and to your purpose. We’ve created a space where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what truly matters.

Our community is built on our Core Connection Pillars:

Connection to Self – Drop out of your head and into your body. Cultivate self-trust, confidence, and deep emotional awareness.
Connection to Others – Surround yourself with people who lift you up. Set boundaries, attract real relationships, and stop playing small.
Connection to Nature – Reset your nervous system, move your body, and tap into the rhythms of the world beyond screens and stress.
Connection to Purpose – Align with what truly lights you up and start living life on your terms.
Grit & Commitment – Transformation doesn’t happen overnight. Show up for yourself, again and again.

Join us for breathwork, yin yoga, group experiences, and deep transformational work. Whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or just a space to breathe and be, you’ll find it here.

Breathwork with Mel is amazing! As my first time trying breathwork, I wasn't sure what to expect, but Mel does a wonderful job of guiding you through the session. As a Mum with a toddler and a newborn, I didn't think I could fully switch off my mind, but I was surprised to find I felt complete relaxation and my mind was quiet. It was much deeper experience than I expected and I left with a really positive and calm energy. I really look forward to doing more.

Mel’s teaching approach is passionate, warm, approachable and knowledgeable. Whether it was during or after class, Mel always made time to address questions and concerns with patience and clarity. Beyond just facilitating classes, Mel integrated personal experiences and stories that enriched understanding and made complex concepts more relatable. What set Mel apart was her sensitivity in handling diverse topics and student experiences. Mel demonstrated a keen awareness of the diversity within the classroom and navigated discussions with tact and respect for varying viewpoints. Even in challenging discussions, Mel fostered an environment where everyone felt valued and heard. I highly recommend Mel for her teaching.

I joined lovely Mel’s breath workshop as a busy mum, unable to switch off and feeling like I wanted to connect to me again. I was honestly blown away how effective the techniques were. I was calm and my mind felt quiet and clear afterwards! I’m now implementing what I’ve learnt in my day to day and can’t wait to learn more from Mel.
