TESTIMONIALS
Courtney A.
I started working with Melanie at a huge transitional period of my life, and at the time I was very new to the Maiden Mother Journey work. It was such a powerful experience to navigate through that journey with Melanie guiding me so beautifully, and also seeing that journey unfold in my real life simultaneously. The shifts I have seen in myself, my business, and my life path since doing that work have been profound and undeniable. Melanie held so much space for me and created such a safe container for me to go through an entire rebirthing process. I will definitely work with Melanie again in the future, and encourage anyone who is curious about doing this work to go for it!
Lissette
We had the pleasure of being led by Melanie and Amanda through a bachelorette-themed experience, that kicked off our weekend with intention and good energy. We started off with a mandala, which was a beautiful experience, that helped us feel grounded and present. The most powerful part was our breathwork meditation, and share circle at the end. Both ladies were gracious, kind hosts, who helped guide and made us feel comfortable and in a safe space. This was a magical experience, I would recommend to any group of women who want to connect with their inner-selves and each other! Melanie was extremely communicative, kind, and tailored this experience to our group. Highly recommend!rk to go for it!

WOW! What an incredible experience in Sedona. Melanie is deeply tapped into what women struggle with alchemizing in the modern world. She explained my own personal experience through a depth of knowledge, storytelling, archetypes, and initiatory practices that deeply helped me to understand a lot of what I'm going through as a mother. I'm in my mid 40's and through the structure of her insights and understanding, I have been able to have a better relationship with this phase of life. Aging gracefully is rarely talked about, much less aging INTO empowerment as a woman. The entire experience was beautiful, emotional, and a perfect balance of raw truth and gentle presence. I highly recommend this experience. I imagine it would be incredible for both younger women seeking direction and meaning, as well as women older than myself in the "what next" phase of life. I KNOW that it was profoundly meaningful to me in my "mid-life", giving me clarity at a time when many of my identities have a powerful hold on me while simultaneously, I have the desire to change and be MORE, and feel more freedom. Big thumbs up!!
Alicia
Melanie's embodied divine feminine essence has allowed me to bring out my softness and relax into the feminine qualities within myself. To trust my intuition and relax into my essence as a woman. She has the ability to make you feel fully seen and accepted as you face the challenges you're dealing with in life. She helps you feel understood and empowers you to see yourself as the true divine being that you are, no matter what situation you are in. Her knowledge, skill set, and life experience that she brings to the container are invaluable. You will not find many other hosts who can empower you through words and wisdom the way that Melanie can. The way that she structures each week to build on the lessons the week prior is unlike anything you will find in your community. She couples spiritual growth and expansion with practical day-to-day tools impeccably. I would highly recommend her program if you are looking to expand your mind, heart, and soul all in one container. Since meeting Melanie and working with her, my ability to love myself and others has grown in exponential ways. Every day I feel more inspired to create a life for myself that is aligned with love, growth, and conscious connection. I highly recommend that you work with her in any program she is offering.
Terri
I've had the pleasure of working with Melanie since the beginning of 2023. In that time I have learned many tools and ideas that have formed much of my personal growth already and will continue to inform my transformation over the years. I am thankful to have said "hell yes!" Melanie is a caring and skilled facilitator who understands, viscerally, the archetypes of which she teaches. She has seen and done it all and has come out the other side a wiser and more seasoned coach who can empathize while still showing you a path to personal growth. Well worth your time and vulnerability. You won't be disappointed.
Michelle
My life has been deeply impacted as a result of working with Melanie. Her approach is so grounded, real, and all from a place of love and compassion. Her area of expertise is around the Divine Feminine and she expresses and instills information through Maiden Meditations, honest conversations, and impeccable listening. I feel completely seen and heard which creates a very safe space to be open and vulnerable. I have and will continue to highly recommend Melanie to women because her teachings are specifically focused on the healing of all aspects of the feminine which includes healing the masculine. It’s an important perspective that I have not come across from anyone else. I am so blessed to have you in my life. Thank you Sister!
Sally
I couldn’t imagine a better host to experience this with. Melanie has the most beautiful balance of power and grace that allow her to create a deeply meaningful group or private dynamic. It is a joy to be in her presence. I can’t wait to experience her offerings again!
Nikki
It feels important for us all to remember our divinity while embracing our light and shadows in this human life. Melanie has such an eloquent yet direct way of presenting the various energies and archetypes at play to help bring awareness and thus movement toward wholeness.
Bruna
Melanie invited me to collaborate and participate in her Virtual Village, and it helped me gain more confidence in my work and ways in which I can share wisdom in the community. It has been an absolute joy to connect with such loving, open, and curious souls. Her programs are extremely insightful, rich with diverse perspectives, and also feel very safe for more vulnerable shares. I would recommend Melanie's programs because they have helped me grow in my spiritual journey and expand what I feel is possible for my life.
