“I believe in giving women a voice. Got Your Back Sista gives women a voice, and Hey Soul Sista podcast gives women a voice.
We ALL want to live a happy, joyous life on purpose. But it can be a struggle navigating the challenges, set-backs, what is going on in our minds.
The Hey Soul Sista Podcast is another channel to give women a voice that needs to be heard and providing inspiration and life learnings to their sistas listening.” – Melissa Histon
Driven. Dynamic. Dedicated. No other real estate business has a greater passion than Commercial Collective. We pride ourselves on taking an individual approach to each project based on unique needs, researched evidence and current market trends. That’s because we want to deliver much more than exceptional results; we believe the true value of our vast combined experience, reputation, connections and the commitment we make to each client is a long-lasting relationship based on trust and respect. It’s how we exceed expectations; it’s why we enjoy referrals and repeat business; and it’s the reason we continue to love what we do. Every day.
From the beginning of Seed People Consulting in 2014, we strongly believed (and still do!) that everyone deserves to go to work and feel fulfilled, be engaged and reach their potential. Now we work with organisations to do just that. We plant seeds of thought, help create growth, and cultivate better ways of connecting in your workplaces.
Over the years, we’ve toyed with generalist HR consultancy advice. But we’ve always gone back to what got us here; to the roots of our brand. That’s the positive stuff, the people stuff, the stuff that makes the most impact on success and is the heart of our passion and service offerings: culture & change, leadership and teams.
Whether you are researching real estate, looking at buying, selling or leasing, whatever the reason, I'm here to help you with kind, honest & factual information & advice that you can rely on.

You are what you've been waiting for, and you are perfect RIGHT NOW!
Every woman of every age, size, shape and color possesses the timeless power of one-of-a-kind sensuality and beauty.
For most of our lives we have allowed society, we have allowed friends, family and partners to dictate how we feel about our bodies. We’ve shamed ourselves for gaining weight, for losing weight, for having bewbies that are too big or too small, stretch marks (that I like to call beauty marks), wrinkles, beer bellies… all the fun stuff! Just because we grow older, we have children, families, spouses and careers this doesn't mean that our feminine side and the want to treat ourselves disappears. We continuously talk ourselves down and all this instead of embracing who we are NOW and loving the skin we are in TODAY. It’s safe to say that the act of love heals more than the act of hate, and that has never been more direct then when it’s within out own bodies.
I’m here to empower you to love yourself just a little bit more. Whether that's taking the leap into self love for the first time, OR walking with you as you continue your journey.
I’ve created all sorts of packages to satisfy every budget. Also, this is a safe love zone. I do not discriminate based on race, religion, body shape, gender… or what ever other box you’ve been put in to. I’m just here to make you feel sexy and beautiful.
Now let’s get started.
