Dr. Melany
Vitality is everything.
A vital mind, body, and soul are the foundation of a meaningful life. In today’s world, we all experience dysfunction, chaos, stress, and those mysterious aches and pains that seem to appear out of nowhere. But we weren’t designed to just survive — we’re here to live fully.
To enjoy the magical connections we share with loved ones — and the rich experiences life has to offer — we must pursue health as a way of being.
Dr. Melany Bates has walked many paths of healing, and each one has deepened her understanding of the body’s innate intelligence. Chiropractic gives her the opportunity to weave together ancient wisdom and modern science — offering guidance, education, and powerful hands-on care to those seeking a more vital, connected life.
Her approach blends:
Deep listening and intuitive care
Gentle, nervous-system-based chiropractic
Coherent bodywork and breath awareness
Emotional, physical, and structural integration
She works with the neuromusculoskeletal system in a way that honors the whole person — mental, emotional, physical, and energetic. The awareness that chiropractic brings to humankind (and animals alike) is, to her, nothing short of sacred.
Outside the office, you’ll find Dr. Melany immersed in the practices that fuel her own vitality:
Meditation, movement, the art of yoga, hiking in nature, and nourishing her entire being — mind, body, and soul.
Au, the elemental symbol for gold, represents resonance, conductivity, and incorruptible value—the inherent signal of life.
Nu, a reference to waveforms and renewal, speaks to the fluid adaptability of biological systems and the nature of the nervous system itself: ever-sensing, ever-integrating, always in motion. Anu carries the oldest memory—known in Sumerian myth as the originating force, but also echoed in quantum and energetic fields as the spark from which pattern emerges.
AUNU, then, is the living rhythm of what animates us:
the return to signal, coherence, and vitality at the most essential level.
PATTERNS: You Deserve Attention
You don’t have to wait for a crisis to start caring for your nervous system.
Many of the people who come to Aunu say things like:
“I’m always tired, even when I sleep.” “I feel wired and overwhelmed, like my body won’t shut off.”
“I’m holding tension I can’t release.” “I get sick often, or take forever to recover.”
“I’m stuck in cycles of burnout.” “Things feel off… but I can’t explain why.”
“I feel disconnected — from my body, my energy, or even my purpose.”
These are patterns of a misattuned nervous system — and they’re more common than you think.
The good news? Your body knows how to come back into balance — it just needs the right support.
If any of this resonates, your body is asking for something VITAL.
