What others are saying

A Safe, Nurturing Space

“Mel holds the space with such warmth and curiosity. Being in the closed circle has been both profound and grounding. It feels nurturing to be held and heard by other women, all of us navigating motherhood, and discovering shared experiences.

Not once did I feel judged or out of place. The experience was gentle, restorative, and truly an act of self-care and nourishment.”

Anon. Mother attending Spring to Summer Circles 2024

A Safe Space for Growth and Expression

“Melanie has created a safe, well-held space where I’ve felt completely comfortable sharing the ups and downs of my motherhood journey. She offers a wonderful mix of honest sharing, beautiful meditations, creative expression, and a warm, welcoming environment.

I’m excited to continue the circle and deepen my own learnings and releases.”

Charley, Mother attending Spring to Summer Circles 2024

Whether your loss was recent or many years ago, you are welcome.

Testimonials

A Beautiful, Grounding Experience

“Melanie’s monthly circles are the perfect end to my day. So much care and attention is given to make you feel instantly at home - delicious treats, a chance to listen and share, and much more.

I always leave feeling deeply grounded and grateful to be part of such a special experience each month.”

Deya, Mother attending Spring to Summer circles 2024

A Nourishing and Special Space

“Melanie holds such a warm, welcoming space. After each circle, I feel renewed and nourished, with that feeling lasting long after the session ends.

Being in a circle with other mothers of young children feels especially special, as it’s comforting to be held by someone further along in their own motherhood journey.”
