Hi, I’m Melissa.
2018 was a critical turning point. Struggling with undiagnosed perinatal mood and anxiety disorder, I felt lost and deeply unfulfilled despite having a picture-perfect life on the outside. Seeking help led me to reiki, a path to healing and self-discovery around sex and sexuality. Diagnoses of OCD and ADHD provided clarity and empowered me to reshape my life from the inside out.
Now, as a sex coach, death doula, and reiki master, I draw from my journey to support others who seek to heal and design a life of delight. I am equal parts art and science in my approach to life and coaching. My lived experience with neurodivergence and evolving sexuality gifted me with a unique perspective.
I hold impeccable space for you to find what’s true for you. I ask questions, you make decisions to integrate your desires for the future into your present-day life.
My Offerings
-
I work with all bodies to discover a deeper sense of pleasure, self, and radical acceptance that evolves into appreciation. Using somatic exercises, the Erotic Blueprints™, and specific communication tools, I help people lead deeply satisfying sex lives.
-
Death Doulas offer social-emotional wrap-around services related to planning for death, actively dying, and wrapping up affairs. Meeting my clients where they are, I ensure they have the information and resources necessary to make end-of-life choices that match their wishes and beliefs. I also host grief circles online and in the Reno, NV community.
-
Reiki is healing, universal life-force energy channeled through the hands where touch is optional. Reiki is gently healing to anyone seeking relief and peace from physical and emotional distress. Reiki is an excellent compliment to any other healing modality.

Love from Past Clients
Melissa thoughtfully inquired about my daily stressors and experiences and offered proactive energy practices tailored to my needs and guidance on when and how to employ them. Her style is practical and approachable. I regularly use the practices I learned from her to feel grounded and energetically protected in my high-stress day job and at home parenting toddlers.

Melissa is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, caring, and amazingly skilled at her craft. She is a fantastic listener and I felt comfortable sharing my grief and needs with her. She asked great questions and provided excellent resources, suggestions, support, and homework at times. I would strongly recommend Melissa, she is truly a gem and a delight to work with especially working through difficult themes.

Melissa was a tremendous support in helping me redefine my relationship with sex and intimacy. She helped me find a new way of thinking and experiencing things without shame and guilt. I've experienced a huge shift in how I think about these and other areas of my life and am making changes to ensure that I'm living in my truth, regardless of how it looks to others.
