My desire is to create a safe and accessible way for women to explore their own healing by reclaiming the connection to their bodies and learning the vital skills necessary to live from a deeply embodied, creative place. When a woman returns to her feminine center she serves more than herself; she holds space for others to do the same.
Here are some of the ways you can work with me. Note that many of these modalities work hand in hand - I use a variety of them with each client based on their needs and desires. All of my work can be done virtually or in-person.

schedule your menstrual health consultation
A menstrual health consultation is designed to address physical, emotional and spiritual imbalances using a holistic, mind-body approach. Together, we will assess not just the state of your menstrual and vaginal health, but how that fits into the bigger picture of your life.
Depending on your needs I may suggest customized herbal remedies, vaginal steaming, and/or health and embodiment practices to help bring your body, mind and spirit into optimal balance and vitality. Menstrual health education is a powerful component of this work - learning to listen to the language of your own body and harnessing the potential within your cycle is an essential foundation to women's health.
A Menstrual Health Consultation is perfect for:
Menstrual health imbalances
Transitioning off hormonal birth control
Vaginal infections and pelvic discomfort
Disconnection from womb space

Even in the very busy and strange time of Covid-19, Mellisa was helpful, responsive and calming. I really appreciate that Mellisa took time to help me learn more about my own health and taught me some great techniques I’ve never learned before to help my body heal itself. When I had questions, she was quick to respond and encourage. I’m thankful for her help and knowledge!

WHOLENESS
schedule your Intuitive energy healing
Energy healing is simply a healing art that incorporates awareness of the flow of energy within and around your body. Trained in various intuitive energy healing techniques and specializing in the energy of the pelvic bowl, I am able to sense potential imbalances within your energy field and assist you in bringing your whole being into greater vitality.
Any approach to menstrual health and embodiment is incomplete without attuning ourselves to the energetic health of the body. Energy healing allows us to integrate every aspect of your wellbeing and release blockages that may not be perceived or understood by the conscious mind.
During our session I will guide you through visualizations and meditations that facilitate the movement and release of energy. If we are working together in person, some techniques may involve gentle touch. Please get in touch with me if you have any questions about this work!
Energy healing is perfect for:
addressing unexplained physical ailments
discovering and releasing unconscious patterns
reclaiming the connection to your body
I was in the beginning of my second trimester of pregnancy and I had been on pelvic rest for weeks per my doctors orders because my placenta was resting on top of my cervix. I felt a strong call to reach out to Mellisa. Not only did her loving and wise support help to ease my fears, but she also guided me through some energy work and embodiment practices to help move my placenta up - visualization tools that I have continued to use throughout my pregnancy. At my 20 week ultrasound not only is my little one growing beautifully, they did a placenta check and found that my placenta has moved a significant amount away from my cervix!

EMBODIMENT
schedule your embodiment coaching session now
The process of coming home to our bodies is complex and life-long. Deeply disconnected due to cultural conditioning, personal trauma, religious programming and so much more, many women have lost the ability to understand the subtle language spoken by the body. Attempts to heal trauma and love our bodies through the lens of the mind will always fall short... we must learn how to descend from the realm of the mind and into the experience of the body.
In Embodiment Coaching, we will explore an intuitive blend of feminine spirituality, somatic practices, movement, breathwork, guided meditation, nervous system training and self inquiry designed to cultivate a right relationship with your own body and its power.

Mellisa showed up for me in ways I didn’t even realize I needed! She opened the door for me to do the deepest work I have ever done. She held a sacred space for me to explore my fears, strengths and power. I cannot recommend her enough!!! Her compassion, steadiness, beauty, wisdom and insight is invaluable. I am convinced every woman should work with Mellisa!
