What participants from previous Women’s Immersion are saying…

“The word that describes Melissa is ‘Authentic’. She brings out the best in her students. Her Women’s Immersion is full of yoga, women sharing stories and a reconnection with sensuality in everyday life. It is full of laughter, insight, encouragement and positivity. The setting and food were incredible. We left feeling stronger, grateful and with beautiful lifetime memories.” - Bonnie Rubens, USA (60 years old, Yoga & Meditation Teacher)


”This women’s retreat offered me the perfect opportunity for deep reflection and realignment with both my body and inner self. I’m not exaggerating when I say this was one of the best weeks of my life. Mel created such a safe space, her presence felt like a warm embrace. She shared with vulnerability and truth, there’s a strength in her softness that is truly inspiring. The yoga sessions were fantastic, leaving me fully present and immersed in the experience. The freedom I felt to be my authentic self was priceless.” - Anita Boh, SG (Yoga Teacher)

“Your knowledge, passion and authenticity was so powerfully delivered and so greatly received. I learnt things about myself and my body that I never even knew! I opened my heart and I received. Something I have found hard to do for a very long time. My wish is that all women have the opportunity to receive this work from you!” - Rebecca Hall, AUS (Yoga Teacher)

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this truly life changing experience. I can definitely see some positive changes. I express myself more in different contexts, I don’t feel guilty for taking some time for myself... and in general I feel more connected to myself and to life. Your experience, your life stories, and especially your openness about your challenges in life including mental health have truly moved me and somehow set an example for how raw and true I want to show up as.” - Celine, AUS (Scientist)



"Words cannot express how grateful I am for Melissa. Melissa has opened my heart to explore and to feel what it means to be a woman. After being a female for 41 years, I have only just started learning how to express myself as a woman. We laughed, cried and hugged during the 5 days. I have made some new and deep friendships that I could not have found anywhere else. It was a transformative experience. Melissa is kindness, love, warmth and wildness.”
- Sarah Ng, AUS (Dog Trainer)

“After hearing about what an incredible teacher Melissa was, I signed up for her Women’s Immersion. I feel incredibly blessed for the opportunity and experience. Melissa is the most beautiful teacher. During the Women’s Immersion she gracefully led tender hearts on a journey of self, exploration, acceptance, and love. As her student you don’t even realise the work that she is leading you through until one day you wake up from savasana and realise you now feel differently about truths you have held onto for decades.  Truths that might make up the core of your femininity, sexuality, and identity.  The experience is transformative and you leave with greater confidence in yourself, as well as tools to use in your daily life to continue the exploration. Once Melissa enters your world, you just want more and more of her wisdom, insights, learnings and beauty.”

- Cheryl Mainland, Bali (Entrepreneur)

“It was such an honour and privilege to attend Melissa’s Womens Immersion on the precious lands of Byron Bay. What a gift it was to be held with such presence, openness, tenderness. It was a trusted space being guided into sacred depths of the divine feminine. Gathering with like minded souls learning and leaning into ourselves with a freedom to be, to express, to navigate and explore conscious sexuality. Remembering the importance and value of intimate relationships with self and partners, to move through blocks and trauma with such compassion and love. To be lead and guided by a liberated embodied soul like Melissa, allowed me to open up to my full expression. We were sharing, crying, feeling, healing, loving and laughing our way through the Immersion. I’m so grateful to have experienced such depth within and be exposed to powerful conversations that shifted my awareness. Along with embodied practices to feel and connect to our divine bodies and soul in such a beautiful, gentle, wholesome way. I left feeling pure and whole. Empowered and free to feel every part of myself on deeper level. A heart full of gratitude and openness and a bond with Mel that I’ll cherish. Thank you for welcoming me into your Immersion and sharing your sweet soul with us all.”
