Tantra

There are as many definitions for Tantra as there are people who have experienced its fruits. That’s because tantra is best understood when experienced, not studied. The word tantra literally means “to loom”or “to weave” — it’s a practice of experiencing the world by being completely immersed in it, not separate from it.   

In the West, we commonly associate Tantra with the sexual realms. Although sexual energy is a very important part of many tantric practices, the teachings here apply to all of life. Tantra teaches us how to see what is in front of us without subjecting it to the organizing interpretations of the mind. We learn how to hold multiple truths at once and the intense emotions that accompany those truths.   

Tantra expands our capacity for pleasure, hope, ecstasy and bliss, as well as for uncertainty, grief, pain and fear. The magic that occurs when you begin to learn how to transform uncomfortable emotions into creative fuel for building the life you want is immeasurable.

Ecstatic Bodywork

Ecstatic bodywork is an interactive, somatic session designed to awaken and circulate life-force energy through the heart, body, and spirit. It offers a deeply intimate, transcendent experience at the intersection of the sacred and the sensual, supporting embodied awareness rather than just intellectual understanding. In a safe, non-judgmental space, conscious touch, deep care and vitalizing energy work help soften stored shame and open a more connected relationship with yourself. This is a true “system reset” for our bodies, our hearts and our understanding of what’s possible.

    "Mel! The bar has officially been raised for me about what’s possible! You helped open up a whole new world for me! Pretty sure there is my sex life BEFORE Mel and my sex life AFTER Mel and those are two entirely different things! OMG I had no idea my body could do all these things and I am loving loving loving my connection with my body and with my partner! And so so grateful for YOU!"

  • K.M.

    "I was wondering if there is any chance I could do another ecstatic bodywork session... The reasons are several fold. First, it was hands down the most fucking powerful and healing experience that I have ever had. I felt some life infused into my physical and spiritual being that had been stagnant/dormant for so long.."

    "Working with Mel has been deeply transformational for my relationship not only to others, but to myself. She has a gift for holding the art of relationship in a way that is both ancient and new, and she brings that wisdom into her 1:1 work as well as through the ritual spaces she holds. I have learned how to approach intimate and business relationships in a more skilled, nuanced, and open-hearted way, and because of our work together, I am able to hold the duality of loving another while also loving myself.

    The guidance I received from Mel has been a crucial part of my ability to let go of toxic relationship patterns and create relationships that are built on authenticity, deep intimacy, maturity, erotic embodiment and unconditional love.

    Mel’s skill and trauma informed approach to space holding, the ritual and tantric arts, relationship, and life in general are so valuable and transformational. If you have the opportunity to work with her privately or in a group setting, please take it!! Your life will never be the same!"

    “All the work we did before my partner’s visit truly changed everything for me, especially the tantric work. It opened my heart in ways I didn’t even know were possible. During her visit, I felt more love than I ever have. I’m still in awe of it all, and so grateful for the foundation you helped me build to let that love in.

    There was only one moment with my partner when the “wanting to rip my skin off” feeling started to rise up, but I remembered what you taught me. I asked for help the way you showed me, and together we were able to move through it before it took over. It was such a powerful moment of realizing how much healing has actually landed in me. I had no idea it was possible to change something I struggled with for 20 + years."

    I just feel so thankful for you — for everything you’ve taught me, for how deeply you’ve guided me, and for how much you’ve helped me come home to myself. I miss you, love you, and think of you often."
