"Melissa is a very grounded and approachable teacher, with a motherly energy that allows her to hold space with very clear boundaries that encourage opening. This allowed me to feel so safe and held and instantly I knew that I had made the very best decision to join.

In all honesty, I was super apprehensive about going on the Awaken to Pleasure retreat. Being a mother of 4, I felt somewhere inside that I was not deserving, that there were more important things to do, and that my yoni and I were ‘good’ so I needn’t bother… but oh my goddess, I am so grateful to myself for saying yes. Not only did I shift A LOT of wounding and blocks from my womb space, I also discovered the energetic well of abundance that can be found through working with sexual energy. On the physical level, I also fell in love with my body again and for the first time in years, I felt sexy! My mind, heart and yoni were astonished and I left on a significantly higher frequency than when I arrived. I am certain we were all in a different dimension for those 4 days. Thank you thank you thank you dear Melissa. I am so grateful to you for stepping into your calling and birthing this essential and beautiful healing into the world. I can’t wait to work with you more." - Natalie Bullard.

"What Melissa created here felt like an initiation into a part of myself I had lost or been stripped of. She truly is a womb witch with much wisdom and love to offer. The wisdom and tools she has passed on down to us, I know to be life changing. After the retreat I almost instantly launched my business and portals of creativity have been flowing through me since. The coming together of women, the support, the remembering has all sparked a fire in me that I can tell is going to have a ripple effect and I truly believe is what all womben and the planet need right now. It was so much more than I could have imagined. I bow to you Melissa, truly, thank you." - Anouska Cox

"Where to begin… I attended this retreat because something deep inside of me whispered ever so seductively to book. What I must add is the past year prior to this I was healing a lot of body image issues I have had for years. I arrived with no expectations, present and open as could be. What followed from here truly was beyond my wildest dreams as a woman and within my pleasure. Melissa held the space beautifully and is filled with an abundant amount of wisdom, sharing with us all these magical exercises to meet our sex magick and that is absolutely what I met. Since the retreat I have had such a beautiful integration not only towards myself but within my relationship too. How I now feel about my body… well she is delicious, she is powerful and oh so bloody sexy. I am a body of pleasure and divine… thank you Melissa for handing me the keys to unlock the chains that kept me from embracing myself for who I am and deserve to be." - Megan Westpfel

"This retreat was absolutely life changing. I never knew that spaces like this were possible, that women could become sisters so quickly and that witnessing and being witnessed by them could bring me to new depths of self discovery and could let me experience myself in ways I only previously dreamed of. Melissa held the space like she has been doing it for lifetimes, I felt so safe and so held even as I had the awareness of doing something so massively radical. The effects of this retreat will stay with me for years to come and change the way I raise my future daughters." - Sonia Smolokowska

"Melissa’s spaces always leave me different, and having 4 very full days with her has left me never to be the same again. The breadth and depth of practices paired with the fierce grace with which Melissa led and facilitated this retreat changed my life. Since then, I have reclaimed pleasure into my life, in all of the big and small ways, knowing it is mine to have whenever I want. I feel more alive and deeply connected to my body than ever. These 4 days have supported me in breaking through patterns I have been resisting getting to the root to for years. I now have a variety of tools and practices, paired with expanded awareness, to continue working through these themes that once felt untouchable.

My favourite part of this whole experience is how much it has deepened my relationship with my partner — now that I see and own all parts of me, he can see and love all parts of me too. I feel so grateful to have been able to join this retreat also because I inherited a group of sisters that I deeply admire and respect. We are so supportive of each other and I adore we are still in touch months later. If you’re contemplating wether you should join, then you should join. In summary, this experience was the most radical, healing and fun thing (yes, SO much fun) I’d ever done - I got to know my courage, vulnerability and power all at once and am left transformed as a result. Sign up. You won’t regret it!" -Nina Thistlethwaite

"The Awaken to Pleasure retreat with Melissa was truly life changing. Melissa is a wonderful guide into all thing feminine and diving in with her was a joy. Melissa's wealth of knowledge, ability to be fully present and to hold space made sure that I felt safe and held when journeying into the depth of my feminine, so I could shed what is not needed and reconnect with pleasure of being a woman and being alive. Weeks have passed after it and I can still feel ripples coming into my daily life and the way I relate to myself and the world. I couldn't recommend it highly enough as it surpassed all my expectations. Thank you Melissa, can't wait to journey further with you." - Asta Assis Rosa
