About Melody: As a body-based healer and educator, I am passionate about helping people lead happier, healthier lives through the safe exploration of embodiment and pleasure. I offer an intuitive, trauma-informed weaving of somatic sex education, sexological bodywork, energy healing and NeuroAffective Touch. Grounded in safety, consent, and trust, sessions are shaped by the desires and intentions of my clients. They can be transformative, nourishing, ecstatic, healing .... and so much more! Presence, pleasure and play are an intimate part of my personal journey in healing from trauma, and music, nature and kink are constant sources of support, delight and creativity. This journey into counternormative awareness, embodiment, and orientation toward pleasure is revolutionary, powerful, and challenging. It takes every ounce of courage I’ve got, and worth every bit of it! I’m so grateful for the wonderful friends, animal companions and this beautiful planet for supporting me, and am thrilled to share healing through pleasure with you.
