Melissa Sandfort

IFS Certified Practitioner with over 24 years of experience, 2,350+ hours of IFS training, and roughly 8,000 hours of personal IFS practice. I don't just teach IFS — I live it.

I created Radical IFS because:

  • Founders and creators deserve inner work that's as direct and practical as they are.
  • Leaders need Self-leadership — your parts are running your organization whether you know it or not.
  • Therapists and coaches transform when they deepen their own parts work, not just their clients'.
  • Everyone benefits from developing more Self-energy.

However IFS serves your life, parts work doesn't just help you feel better. It makes you better at everything you do.
