About Melissa & The Slow Life
The Slow Life is a sanctuary for self-growth, wellness, and mindset.
Founded by Melissa Rouse, a former lawyer turned bestselling self-help author and wellness advocate, The Slow Life was born from a deep desire to help others reconnect with themselves and cultivate a life of balance and inner peace. After years in the corporate world, Melissa realised there was more to life than hustle and burnout and chose to create a path of intention, healing, and purpose.
What began as a personal journey of self-discovery has evolved into a movement, offering guided journals, soulful books, and mindfulness tools to support you in your own transformation.
