Welcome!  I'm Melody Joyce.  I honor and celebrate you and the courage it takes to reach for more.  

​

Are you seeking healing and wholeness, or more joy?  Craving more touch and intimacy in your life?  Support with difficulties and all the chaos and stress?  I provide compassionate, safe & ethical body-based experiences to help you calm your nervous system, build resilience, heal from shame, judgment and trauma, expand your capacity for pleasure, and embrace your wholeness.  I offer non-judgmental, trauma-informed, holistic support in many areas, such as:

• Healing the imprints of trauma in your body, including religious trauma

• Releasing shame, judgment, and limiting beliefs

• Learning what boundaries and consent feel like in your body, and how to create them

• (Re)Connecting with body sensations and pleasure

• (Re)discovering pleasure in the wake of surgery, an accident, or with aging

• Learning how to be present for intimacy while clean and sober

• Developing body acceptance, confidence and love

• Pelvic pain or numbness

• Learning to give and receive, and to speak clearly about giving and receiving

• Healing childhood trauma, abuse and neglect

• Anxiety around intimacy and relationships

• Experiencing pleasurable touch and non-judgmental acceptance

• Low libido, or libido/desire differences between partners

• Erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation

• Rekindling desire and intimacy in relationship

• Exploring sacred sexuality, Tantra

• Personal and spiritual growth and exploration

To learn more about what I do, check out this conversation I had with Gwyn Isaacs in her "What Excites Us" podcast: https://spoti.fi/3Wul0As.

​

In this podcast with Taara, in her "Sex Ed for the Modern Bed" podcast, our conversation focuses on healing trauma.  You can check  it out on YouTube: https://youtu.be/3VDKWWykXMs

​

Sessions are grounded in safety, clear boundary setting and enthusiastic consent, and can include coaching and practice in breath, movement, body awareness, boundary-setting, communication, anatomy, sensate focus, massage, and other body-based teaching. Our work together is guided by your needs and desires, to nurture, deepen and awaken your felt sense of yourself.   

 

Together, we work with your body and its innate wisdom, moving slowly and mindfully, to soothe your nervous system and engage your body, mind and spirit in healing and expansion. This transformative work can open possibilities for desire, joy and ecstasy to be more present in your every day life.   

 

I use a holistic, body-based approach that supports healing, pleasure and erotic empowerment.  You will learn to connect with your own body, tune in to your desires and create personal pathways to authentic pleasure.  

​

Is working with me right for you?  I invite you to a complementary discovery call. It's a great way to talk about what's going on for you, experience a bit of what somatic work is like, and chat about creating your personal plan for living more fully and pleasurably in your body.
