Quantum Energy Coaching (QEC) Reviews 86

I worked with Dr. Melanie Salmon and QEC for about 2 years to help heal both trauma from narcissistic upbringing and recovery from ME/CFS.

What initially drew me to QEC was the simplicity and easy accessibility of the method. It was a life saver for me at that time in my journey, I found other methods like IFS work, visualization, emotional work extremely labor intensive and was often exhausted from it. I still had a significant amount of symptoms and was struggling with my life when I started working with QEC.

QEC did create rapid changes in beliefs for me- I noticed shifts in thinking occurring quickly. Along with that I was sometimes experiencing a rebound effect, particularly from deeper trauma work, strong shifts in thinking followed by symptomatic side effects -and parts of my system pushing back against the rapid changes. I still continued to make progress and found it to be exceptionally effective to provide support to my system, to manifest positive outcomes and for single, discrete imprints with a clear emotional charge.

After 2 years, I felt like I was repeating layers of my narcissistic upbringing, I felt like there was something I didn't quite touch and like I was “editing the system” vs “interacting with the system”. In retrospect, for complex trauma, I would rather recommend it as a supportive tool to assist emotional and somatic work because it isn’t one knot, it’s an entire organizing structure of the system including identities, relational expectations, worth and protective strategies. Belief work on its own to untangle this started to feel extremely frustrating to me because at the core isn’t a belief, it’s multiple parts actively maintaining a structure. I found working with the system to unburden these parts and identities created much deeper and lasting shifts than working with the beliefs that sit on top of them.

I still use it regularly today, but it is a supporting rather than a primary tool for me and I would caution people with chronic illness to start gently and include your body in guiding the process- perhaps to look for a practitioner that is familiar with somatic work & IFS therapy. QEC started to soften a lot for my system once I used it in combination with IFS therapy and my somatic body rather than the analytical mind in a Gestalt therapy style alone.

Learning from Dr. Melanie has been such a great privelage. The QEC process is a simple and effective modality to change your beliefs and clear trauma from your mind, body, and energy. It sounds to good to be true! It has been an effective tool for me since being introduced to it in March of 2025, for small changes and big ones too. I am excited to bring this method to my own clients and community, I know it will help a lot of people.

Melanie yet again takes such a deep complex subject and makes it accessible and easier to understand. I gained so much knowledge and insight into Narcissistic Injury and feel totally equipped as a Practitioner to offer my clients the support and guidance they need.

It has taken me a year to write this review. I share it as I was shocked at how quickly my experience of both working with Dr Melanie Salmon personally as a client, and being part of her training to become a practitioner of QEC myself, changed so negatively for me. For legal purposes everything I express in this review is of my own opinion.

I was told in my therapy session where I was dealing with a very vulnerable topic of past childhood trauma that I had dealt with this last week and should be over it by now by Dr Salmon. (Dr Salmon pitches QEC working often as only needing to do one session on any given topic. In hindsight I realise this was not the case for me and I often needed to revisit topics as another layer had been exposed. Very common for complex trauma survivors). I was also told in this session that Dr Salmon had many clients with much worse histories than mine who got over it much quicker than me.

This feedback rendered me in shock.

I asked to speak to Dr Salmon after this session to discuss what had happened. I aimed for resolve here as I was also studying under her and had invested thousands into the training course she offers to become a QEC practitioner. This course was actually suggested to me to join by Dr Salmon during our one to one to one therapy sessions previously.

During the zoomcall to address my distress at what was said to me previously Dr Salmon seemed confused as to why I had requested an additional call at all. When I addressed my concerns the feedback received from her to me was that she was getting too old and often could not remember what she had said in previous sessions. This felt concerning to hear as her client and this is when I reminded her of her words to me. And the feedback I got was simply that I must belong to the small percentage of people that QEC does not work for.

Again this shocked me. As this was not my experience.

When I asked what I then do about the course, if she has now revealed QEC is not working for me (which I said how helpful I had found my work with her, I just needed more time due to the severity of my past trauma) I was met coldly that that was my decision to make if I continued.

I said after my trust had been broken in such a way through what she had said in a very vulnerable moment, trust that as a survivor takes time to build, and having the founder herself tell me the method did not work, I asked how I could ever become a practitioner of QEC, with good conscience? And that if this was the case I could not continue to study as it was Dr Salmon herself that was my teacher.

I then asked due to what had happened about my investment and if I was to step away what could be done so I didn’t loose all my money. And was quickly told “my finance team will be in touch” and the call ended.

This is when the emails from varying QEC members of the team began. With me being told that as I had left the course and due to the no refund policy no refund would be submitted.

I couldn’t believe it. I presumed after this kind of ending Dr Salmon would have taken some accountability and I be offered a monetary amount that reflected that.

I can understand if my case history not be something a practitioner can handle. But what I could not get my head round was the way in which I was treated due to this, by Dr Salmon of all people.

I was eventually offered a “good will gesture”, as they stated, of £300. I did not accept this as I had invested thousands of pounds (GBP) and explained what happened to the team, demanding a middle ground be met in this circumstance.

Nothing was met. Apart from being given a time limit to accept the £300.

I then said I would continue the course as I could not afford to loose this amount of money. And next step was my supervisor got in touch and I was told I would not be allowed back onto the zoom call with my supervision group, again as I had left the course, with my colleagues I had built a relationship with for nearly 6 months. And I was removed from the supervision group with immediate effect so I could not contact there again.

Then came the messages from 2 of my supervision group privately, after I had reached out to share what had happened, with them telling me they had heard both my side and now Dr Salmon’s side of what happened and no longer wished to have contact with me.

As a complex trauma survivor this whole experience has been trauma on top of trauma. Emotionally and financially for me.

When I contacted organisations to see what support I could receive I was informed QEC is not registered where any mediation can come into effect. And I presumed with Dr Salmon being a doctor something could be enforced but again I was told there was no official registration.

There is an army of devout followers of QEC. I came up against just a handful of them during my exit. Sadly this is not the first “cult” like group with an enabling team to enforce the leaders wishes I have encountered.

I first saw Melanie in person at the QEC Retreat in May 2024 and I was struck by how much of her whole way of being was based on Gestalt principles and so was very excited, and signed up straight away, when she said she was doing a QEC/Gestalt course. I was not disappointed. From the very first moment, I loved building connections with other members of the Group, sharing such deep and meaningful experiences with them, always knowing that Melanie had the capacity to keep the space sacred and safe whilst I was able to show up as my true authentic self with the deep understanding that in doing so, I was completely accepted for being me and there was no judgement. For sure, on occasions the topics and space was challenging and this was where, with Melanie’s expertise and guidance, I came to experience the truth inside myself and a deeper level of growth and awareness that I had not experienced before.
Melanie is an amazing teacher – compassionate, honest and incredibly insightful – and she led us through the complex topics of Gestalt with ease, weaving in real life examples with simplicity, which made them easier to understand.
If you are looking to deepen your awareness of Gestalt in the QEC space with your clients, I highly recommend this course. It’s a rare blend of academic depth, practical wisdom, and heartfelt teaching. I left the training not only with a stronger skill set, but with a renewed sense of presence and authenticity in both my personal and professional life.

I took part in a 9-month weekly Gestalt group, expertly supported by Dr. Melanie Salmon, and the growth I experienced—both personally and as part of the group—was truly profound.

This space became a rare and powerful container where I could show up fully, explore what it means to be human, and witness the raw, beautiful, and sometimes uncomfortable spectrum of life in connection with others. The group was made up of truly special people, each bringing courage, honesty, and deep presence to the work.

Together, we navigated discomfort, celebrated joy, and sat with grief. I learned to soften in places I had once been guarded, and to meet both myself and others with greater compassion.

The support I experienced wasn’t about fixing or rescuing—it was about being fully with what is. That kind of support changed something fundamental in me. It strengthened my capacity to stay present through challenge, deepened my trust in human connection, and had a lasting impact on my wellbeing.

I’m deeply grateful to Dr. Melanie Salmon and everyone in the group for creating a space that felt both sacred and deeply real.

Dr Salmon is an incredible guide and her QEC method has changed my life. I’m so grateful for her work and for her commitment to empowering people to heal themselves and improve their lives!

Coaching sessions are amazing, know that you will be seen, heard and offered a solution. I can't speak highly enough about the quality of coach training for new coaches, so thorough and detailed, nothing short of spectacular!

It's a life changing experience. Highly recommend! It changed my life.

An extremely informative course. I would recommend! A useful technique. Highly practical, too. Thank you - very grateful to have taken part.

Excellent. Qec is life changing. Highly recommended

As usual a concise and knowledgeable presentation.

I was on the very first Retreat at the Bore Place and Dr. Salmon, as always, knows the pulse of the group she is working with. There were a lot of breakthroughs and great insights and learnings. The early morning sessions of meditation and TRE (Tension & Trauma Release Exercise).

The Bore Place was perfect for this retreat. Housing and meals were lovely. Although many of the non-vegetarians missed their flesh foods, I was quite happy with the meals even though I'm on a vegan diet. I was very well accommodated by the Chef and his sous-chef. I even cheated when the breakfast quiche was served.

Life’s changing

QEC has changed my life. It is an incredible therapy to overcome anxiety, stress, depression and all kinds of trauma. I have learnt so much about myself and freed myself from a lot of misery and struggle, and I quit smoking. Without it I would still be repeating negative, self-destructive patterns. I'm so grateful!

The facilitators were very professional, knew their subject well and were very helpful with any queries

QEC has changed my life, my beliefs and opened up doors to extraordinary occurrences and opportunities.

My personal journey with QEC can be summed up as Highly Effective which helps me to have great expectations for my clients.

My professional journey with QEC is that the company is extremely professional, highly responsive, and the contents researched and presented is cutting-edge.

The content is delivered in a fabulous way. Loved it. Five stars would require a relook at the purchase process and offer more options to be able to pay and also more transparency (clear messaging) in the difference between quoted price and paid price (if there is a currency conversion required)
