A Body-Led Approach to Creation & Becoming
Whether you are preparing for your first birth, welcoming another child, or navigating a season of deep personal transformation, these moments invite us into profound change — physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
At the heart of my work is a deep respect for the body's innate intelligence. When we slow down, listen, and attune, this intelligence guides us not only through pregnancy and birth but also through the many cycles of creation, gestation, and rebirth that shape our lives.
Birth is one of our earliest initiations. It teaches us how to trust, surrender, advocate, and create. These same lessons echo far beyond the childbearing year and inform how we live, love, and become.
Across Birth, Embodiment & Initiation
Ways to Work with Me
My work is offered through two distinct pathways: family-centered birth support, and adult initiatory work rooted in embodiment and ceremony.
Continuum Birth
Support across the birth continuum
Pregnancy & Birth Support — Doula Care
Holistic doula care for families throughout the childbearing year, rooted in both evidence-based care and embodied presence.
Photography
Birth, family, and life documentation rooted in presence and reverence and honest storytelling.
The home of my movement, ceremonial, and Erotic/Creation Intelligence work, including fertility, pregnancy, and birth rites.
This temple is a space of feminine remembrance, embodiment, and initiation.
Hathor’s Haven
Embodied & Initiatory Work
Current Offerings within Hathor’s Haven
Nourish — Kundalini Dance & Somatics Circle
A three-month, daytime embodied practice for women in seasons of creation, transition, and becoming.
Nourish is a slow, grounding movement container supporting nervous system regulation, sensation, and inner rhythm through breath, music, and somatic awareness.
Erotic Coherent Relational Blueprint
An initiatory, body-based container exploring erotic intelligence, nervous system safety, and relational coherence.
This work is for those who are no longer interested in intensity without integration, or connection that burns hot and collapses. It is slow, consent-based, and rooted in embodiment, responsibility, and truth.
“Melissa!! You're a freakin gift to us! ❤️❤️ A bajillion times - thank you for being with us all the way through!! OMG WHAT A JOURNEY this was! I am so deeply grateful for your devoted guidance and endless support, especially right at the end there where I was so weak and felt defeated 😭😭😭 You really made me believe in myself until my very last drop - that I will never ever forget!!!! ❤️❤️❤️”

Love Notes
Hi I’m Melissa!
I’m a Birth Doula, embodiment practitioner, Kundalini Dance facilitator, ceremonialist, photographer, oracle deck creator, and twin mama.
My journey into this work began over ten years ago with my first doula training through DONA, where I fell in love with the transformational nature of pregnancy, birth, and the transition into parenthood. Since then, my own experiences of motherhood, along with extensive training across somatic, energetic, and coaching modalities, have shaped a deeply integrated approach to care.
While birth remains a foundational pillar of my work, my practice has expanded to support women across many thresholds — fertility journeys, motherhood, creative seasons, career and identity shifts, and moments of rebirth. My work weaves together science and intuition, embodiment and education, depth and lightness.
With women and families, I offer attentive listening, education, advocacy support, practical comfort measures, and mindset coaching - all held with warmth, humour, and respect for your unique path. My intention is always the same: that you feel empowered, informed, and deeply supported, no matter how your journey unfolds.
