Testimonials
"Joining Melissa and Corina in circle was a wonderful experience and I cannot thank them enough for their work and the impact it had on me. They created a truly nurturing, safe space where I felt seen, heard and free to explore my inner world. Each session felt like a gift - a pause from my busyness and overwhelm to breathe, reflect and connect with myself and other inspiring women. I left each circle feeling grounded and calmer, and the insights are still with me. I highly recommend Corina and Melissa and their beautiful approach together."

Your Hosts
Melissa holds us in deep, embodied presence as she allows us to rediscover our true, authentic nature. As a somatic therapist, she holds space for those seeking deep re-connection to self. She is experienced in various embodiment practices, often weaving conscious movement, dance, and embodied spirituality into her work.
Corina is an intuitive healer and teacher. She holds spaces for us to remember we are the living earth and our being here now is a blessing on life itself. The spaces she co-creates are safe and infused with the medicine meant for us to re-member ourselves in the intricate web of life.
