The studio you’ve been looking for
Join us at Studio Be Napa for sound healing, nervous system work, and body-based sessions for expansion, regulation, and your full self.
OUR STORYStudio Be began as a seed.
May 2023. A place created to be the feeling Melanie wanted to see more of in the world — warm, real, unhurried, built around the body's actual intelligence. The kind of space that didn't exist in Napa yet. Two months later, the first sound bath filled the room. The community began.
In fall 2025, Rachel joined as co-owner and the studio moved to its new home at 301 Post Street, just off Silverado Trail. More space. A new chapter. Room for more.
Almost three years in, the community keeps growing. New faces, returning ones, people who drove an hour because someone they trust told them to just go.
A deep exhale…
Most spaces ask something of you before you walk in. A certain version of yourself. A level of togetherness. A performance, however subtle, of having it handled. Studio Be doesn't.
You'll be greeted with tea.
Your nervous system will begin to unclench before anything even starts. And somewhere in the room — maybe for the first time — you'll receive an invitation to exist exactly as you are. Not managed. Not assessed. Not asked to be more or less of anything. Just met.
There's no posturing here, no performance of healing, no pressure to arrive a certain way. Just a genuinely warm room, real tools, and people who mean it when they say you belong here.
“As practitioners, Rachel and Melanie have cultivated an environment grounded in safety, trust, and warmth, and for all who enter their space, allowing for true surrender.”
— JULIANA
OUR PHILOSOPHYThe body is not broken.
It's adaptive. Intelligent. Everything it's doing, the tension, the shutdown, the override, made sense at some point. We don't come here to fix what's wrong. We come here to work with what's already trying to move.
Real change is felt before it's understood.
Most of us spend our lives in the thinking fraction, analyzing, managing, explaining, while the body quietly holds everything else. This is what it feels like to finally let it speak.
Regulation is not calm. It's capacity.
Feeling more without being overwhelmed. Holding more without shutting down. Staying present in the hard moments instead of managing your way around them.
Self care isn't selfish.
When one nervous system settles, it ripples outward into relationships, families, workplaces, the texture of everyday life. Doing your own work is one of the most generous things you can offer the people around you.

“Studio Be has been the most wonderful gift!”
Each time I have attended a sound bath with Melanie I have walked away feeling so much lighter and tuned in to my body. I am new to using sound baths as a healing tool and as a busy mom of three, the relaxation I receive here is priceless. The calm vibrations in my body last for days but the healing I receive is forever. I am so thankful to have found her and this gift she shares with the community!

“I tell everyone it's the closest thing to magic I have ever experienced.”
There was a moment last night, all of the ruminating and the NOISE and the constant vibrations across my entire body just STOPPED. So thank you. I tell everyone it's the closest thing to magic I have ever experienced and as much as I deep dive everything, whatever it is that you all do, I don’t need to understand it. I am just grateful for it.
— MARIEL
“I've tried many therapies but nothing worked as effectively as energetic realignment at Studio Be.”
After each session, I can breathe deeper, and my muscles and tendons feel completely relaxed. After more than a decade of trying various physical and medical therapies, I've found these sessions to be completely different: non-intrusive, calming, and incredibly effective. The benefits have been remarkable.
