who is melissa chataigne?
Hi! I'm a TV Host and Fashion Life Stylist and confidence coach and nothing lights me up more than helping people find their superpower! I want you elevated & celebrated to live a #lifewellstyled - that encompasses what your wear, eat, listen to and the company you keep, so I'm glad you're here!
I began my career as an "image maker" styling celebrities who often had the worst self-confidence. After watching my sister lose her battle with depression and die by suicide, I turned my pain into purpose and chose to help others lead with confidence to step out into the world & be seen as their most stylish and powerful selves.
Join one of workshops, retreats, book me to lead a class for your company or personal styling services, visit The Chataigne Room TV and definitely subscribe to my newsletter. I want you to feel as good on the inside as I inspired you look on the outside! Let's go!
