Relationship & Intimacy Coaching
“Intimacy transcends the physical. It is a feeling of closeness that isn’t about proximity, but of belonging. It is a beautiful emotional space in which two become one.”
“Far too many people are looking for the right person, instead of trying to be the right person.”
“Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship you have.”
“The most important ingredient we put in any relationship is not what we say or what we do, but what we are.”
“In the end there doesn’t have to be anyone who understands you. There just has to be someone who wants to.”

How will Melissa support you as your Relationship & Intimacy Coach?
Body-Positive, Sex-Positive, and You-Positive
Relationships, intimacy, and sexuality are natural and healthy aspects of our lives; yet, many individuals have questions, concerns, and needs that often go unanswered or unmet because the world we live in has created a bubble of shame around these topics. Unfortunately, many therapists, counselors, and medical professionals either ignore human sexuality or shame it.
Melissa recognizes and appreciates each client as a special, unique, worthy, and lovable creation. She maintains a SAFE SPACE for individuals to be themselves, express themselves, understand themselves, and LOVE themselves.
