1:1 Co-Conspiring
Somatic Art Mentorship for creative unfolding and grief-diving
Being a prolific creative visionary is your default mode, not just a special experience reserved for people who call themselves artists.
Welcome to Creative Somatics, where you get to bone up on the ecstatic art of letting it rip.
as in, to have full, unencumbered access to your flow. To move and speak and express from the endless stream of creative intelligence flushing through you in every moment.
to be fully LOCKED IN with the part of you connected to God, the Mystery, the Muses, the cosmic watering hose of inspiration and do the creative work your spirit came here to do.
inspiration flows in, rivers of expression flow out
to let it rip is also to unravel—
to die a thousand times at the feet of who you thought you would be, who the world instructed you to be, so you can, against all odds, grow yourself into the fully expressed, self-actualized version of you that your wild lil child self still yearns to be.
you will likely find our collaborative work different from anything else you’ve encountered, as this is deep inquiry at the intersection of creative practice, somatic movement education and death work.
This means that no matter what we talk about, we will be going through two very potent, and unpredictable doorways to find the nectar and spirit-medicine we’re after.
your body
your grief
we deprogram from the dishonesties we’ve inherited from the overculture and families of origin by letting our grief instruct us and our bodies show us the way.
Somatic Art Coaching is for softening the perfectionism and hyper self-management that have been running the show, and connecting with something more essential, through sensation, intuition and divine guidance.

words from the people
“thank you thank you a million times THANK YOU for providing a deeply moving and transformative experience. I am beyond words and filled with wonderful movement”
-G
“One of Melissa’s many gifts is inviting people on a magic carpet ride that explores the heights and depths of grief in such a tender, intentional, well-paced and easeful way. There was so much care and clarity in each daily creative prompt. And each one felt like it could open the door to integrating an inner thread that was needing attention"
-JD
“you opened up parts of my expression artistically that are very shy without being beckoned—you help me hear the spirits in me, because I feel so safe in your containers.”
-L
“Melissa is living heart action. Church on wheels. She’s like ‘we’re going to go to the dark places with eyes wide open,’ and it’s so refreshing to go with her the way she goes.”
-LS
“I had no idea what to expect from my creative embodiment session with Melissa, but it exceeded anything I imagined we might do together. In only 75 minutes, we got right to the heart of how/why I’ve struggled to create & maintain an embodiment practice, and she offered new questions, frameworks, and invitations that have transformed how I approach movement in my day-to-day life.
If you're thinking about booking a session, DO IT. immediately. your body & your spirit will thank you!”
