Empowerment Pleasure and Play are for You!

Express yourself and be heard, creating intimacy and trust to move through the world with more awareness and ease.

Intimacy Coaching

Learn how to cultivate deep and lasting friendships and relationships through coaching with a Somatica® Method trained professional. I help individuals and couples—both queer and straight—identify their desires and communicate them in a loving way to ensure their needs are met in empowered, pleasurable ways. I especially enjoy supporting families during the childbearing year and beyond. Together, we can work on strengthening existing relationships, redesigning current dynamics, or gracefully exiting those that no longer nourish you.

Mediation

For some folks, mediation can be a helpful tool to move through difficult relationships with family, colleagues, neighbors, or friends. These sessions center on all parties involved, with the shared desire for understanding and resolution. Being heard, rather than focusing on who is right or wrong, brings everyone closer to getting more of what they want.

Holistic Pelvic Care™ (HPC) Sessions

Guided by the hands of a midwife, trained in HPC, embody your inner landscape to gently move through and release pain and trauma, reclaiming your authentic glorious self. I mostly work with vulva owners but happy to have a consultation call with anyone if this work calls to you. HPC is a technique for restoring balance in the pelvis created by Tami Lynn Kent, MSPT. Every session is rooted in deep listening and trauma-informed care, where your boundaries are honored and you remain in full control of the process.

HPC Sessions

Lady Camp

We meet every other month primarily for 24 hours at various locations in Nevada County. Once a year we meet at Camp Augusta for 4 days. During this extended weekend, you are invited to engage in a diverse array of activities—including arts and crafts, somatic practices, dance, song, and holistic skill-building.

Embracing a 'challenge by choice' and consent-based philosophy, we provide a supportive environment where women can connect with nature, cultivate self-assurance, and establish enduring friendships. We gather in this LGBTQ-inclusive space to be authentically ourselves and to know one another even more deeply.

Lady Camp

  • “Melanya brought a shared experience that helped me to understand myself better. I also learned that sometimes we need to rest and to let go. Positive encouragement and leadership from Melanya helped hold space to be vulnerable, which is hard sometimes as a single Dad with two kids."

    Will age 44

  • “With Melanya’s guidance I am learning about how to show up for my wounded parts & learning about and loving my attachment history so that I can grow, heal, and thrive relationally. I’m learning how to reflect, repair, and release when each is needed. Release being the absolute hardest for me right now. I love growing into my most authentic offering with Melanya’s support.”

    Molly age 41

  • “Melanya is a remarkable woman, dedicated to nurturing families and friendships in our community. I’m very grateful to the deeper conversations I’ve had with her during our sessions. It feels potent and I feel the rawness and beauty of my power getting changed from our work together. I appreciate her wisdom, nurturing, vulnerability and honesty.”
