About Melinda

I help sensitive, deep-thinking women unlock confidence, desire, and purpose through hypno-coaching, embodied pleasure, cyclical archetypal wisdom.

 

For much of my life, I was taught the same things many women are taught: be agreeable, be productive, be accommodating, stay small enough to belong.

​

Over time, I discovered that the parts of ourselves we are encouraged to hide: our anger, desire, sensitivity, intuition, creativity, sensuality, and even our cycles, contain the very wisdom we've been searching for.

​

Today, I help women reconnect with those forgotten parts of themselves.

​

As a hypnotist, coach, pleasure advocate, menstrual health educator and artist, my work sits at the intersection of nervous system healing, subconscious transformation, intuitive cyclical wisdom, creativity and embodied self-trust.

​

Whether we're exploring relationship patterns, reconnecting with desire, navigating life transitions, reclaiming your voice, or deepening your relationship with your inner cycles, the goal is the same: To help you come home to yourself.

​

My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and deeply collaborative. I blend hypnosis, guided visualization, parts work, somatic awareness, and practical coaching to help create lasting change from the inside out.

​

Some women come to me because they feel disconnected from their bodies. Some are navigating neurodivergent or parenting burnout, people-pleasing, or major life transitions. Some want to reignite desire in a long-term relationship. Others are seeking a more authentic relationship with their creativity, their cycle, or their sense of purpose.

​

Together, we cultivate self-trust, inner compassion, and the courage to live in alignment with what is true.

​

Beyond my coaching work, I am passionate about restoring reverence for the menstrual cycle and challenging the shame that has historically surrounded women's bodies.

 

Through workshops, education, coaching, and art—including my Sensual Ceremony jewelry collection, I hope to contribute to a culture where women can experience their bodies not as problems to manage, but as sources of wisdom, power, beauty, and belonging.

​

Because when women reclaim their pleasure and their bodies, they reclaim their voices.


And when women reclaim their voices, they change the world.

Hi, I'm Melinda,

and my passion is supporting Creative Souls to thrive in a Life, Love, and Career, aligned with who they are on the physical and spiritual planes.

 

I'm a firm believer in zooming out and zooming in to create a grounded, embodied way of bringing your spiritual gifts to the world to effect great change, healing, and beauty on a large scale...I also believe this process can and should be full of pleasure, ease and abundant flow.

​

Over 2 decades I've collected a myriad of tools that help me navigate the cycles of my inner seasons with more self love and trust. 

​

Using the the tools of Hypnotic Changework, Somatic Coaching, Intuitive Arts, Pleasure Advocacy and Strategic Empowerment Coaching, I've helped myself and other many other women break through their stories of self sabotage and get to doing their divine work in the world.

​​

After logging thousands of hours in the healing arts and coaching space, and helping many spiritually minded creative fempreneurs, I've learned the culture that oppresses our divine expression is the one that needs our healing gifts most.​

​​

A woman in her pleasure is a woman in her intuitive power with the potential for great impact and abundance.​

​

I believe in you and your ability to create the life you know you're here to live. Full of magic, creativity and wealth.

​

If you're feeling the deep "yes" inside to work with me, book a clarity call and let's begin.

​​​

In the flow,

​

Melinda
