Praise
I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to work with Melissa. She is truly a radiant vessel of love and light—so present, caring, and nurturing in every interaction.
​
I’ve had three disarmoring sessions with her, and all I can say is WOW. The experience has been profoundly intimate, deep, and transformative.
​
I highly recommend committing to at least three sessions, as it takes time for your body to open up, establish trust with Melissa, and fully embrace this unique process.
​
Melissa gently encourages using shamanic and somatic tools like sound, breath, visualization, and movement throughout the journey. Speaking openly about whatever arises is also welcomed, creating a safe and supportive space for exploration.
If you’re seeking a truly soulful and empowering experience, Melissa is your guide.

“ Working with Melissa helped me uncover a number of blocks I had related to pleasure and receiving. I think that society portrays pleasure as something we ---particularly women -- have to work for to earn...Through discussion and bodywork, I started to realize that pleasure is a birthright and that I don't have to look any further than my own body to find it. That I have sovereignty over my body and get to decide what feels good to me and what my bodily experience will be. She helped me connect with my body and disconnect from my brain that is still running the narratives that tell me I'm not worthy. She helped me figure out what my body needs and how to overcome shame in asking for that and wholeheartedly receiving it. The power of this holistic approach is that it empowered me in areas of my life beyond my body to define what I really want, ask for it and receive it. ”

Somatic Intimacy Mentorship sessions with Melissa are sacred for me. It has been so challenging for me to allow myself to receive help and through her intuitive and profound approach I have been able to receive & reconnect with my body in a way that feels safe and alive. I am so grateful for Melissa and our work together as I am now embodying what I want to experience in relationship to self and others. Thank you

I could write an entire essay about the countless ways Melissa has transformed my life. It felt like fate when I stumbled upon her temple through a Facebook ad for SOMA Temple. Initially, I only expected to attend her sister gatherings, but I ended up embarking on a journey far deeper than I ever imagined.
​
Melissa’s dedication to building a nurturing community through circles was profoundly healing in itself, but it was her 1-on-1 Mentorship program that brought about real, lasting change. Through her guidance, I’ve gained a deep understanding of my body, my needs, and my boundaries—something I never thought could have such an impact on my life.
​
Working with Melissa creates a profound life shift, allowing you to live in true alignment with your authentic self. Since my first experience, I’ve enthusiastically said “yes” to nearly every event or program she’s hosted, knowing that each one adds immense value to my life.
​
If you’ve been searching for a sign to work with her, let this review be it. Melissa’s work is truly life-changing.

" I had an amazing experience with Melissa. As a teacher, she was able to make me comfortable, while guiding me into unknown territory. Her calming presence, sage wisdom and caring attentiveness makes her an invaluable teacher. My work with her allowed me to have a deeper connection with my mind, body and spirit. "
