Meliza Mokrani is the founder of WORTHY, a Berkeley-based wellness studio designed to help people feel safer, steadier, and more at home in their bodies—especially in seasons of stress, grief, transition, and recovery. Grounded in trauma-informed care, hospitality-level service, and a neuroscience lens, WORTHY offers modalities like infrared sauna, cold plunge, red light therapy, lymphatic compression, natural esthetics, and now a movement space across the street: WORTHY Breath + Body.
From navigating the complexities of family dynamics and childhood trauma to facing a life-threatening health crisis, Meliza opens up about the ways pain, grief, and beauty have shaped her. We talk about the healing power of community, the neuroscience behind trauma, and the grounding force of intergenerational wisdom.
