These three great initiators, as I call them, are the foundational frequency of who I am and what I’m here to offer.
I have been forged in the fires of grief, birth, and business.
My work helps you clarify your message, solidify your why, and bring your words into the world in a way that feels grounded, easeful, and aligned.
I help devoted writers clarify their creations, amplify their impact, and bridge spirit with strategy.
I help deep,
devoted writers clarify their creations, amplify their impact, and bridge spirit with strategy.
I’ve committed fully to my being (a grounded nervous system, deep energy work, strong boundaries and communication, clear creative channel) and my doing (getting on the field, learning business strategy, investing in long-term coaches and mentors, posting my poetry online, and consistently creating courses, workshops, and offers).
Through these immense portals of initiation, I’ve become a true bridge between grounded frequency and solid form.
And most importantly, I’ve walked through the ultimate letting go—the unthinkable letting go—when my mother died in 2024, just 11 weeks after my son was born.
But it’s also been just as much about what I’ve had to let go of — I’ve let go of timelines I thought would make me feel “successful.” I’ve let go of toxic coaches and mentors (and I now have extremely high standards for anyone I choose to work with or learn from). I’ve let go of countless beliefs about why I wasn’t capable.
Yes, my 7+ year business journey has been about what I’ve created and sold—I’ve taught 10+ courses, grown my email list to almost 2k subscribers, worked with 100+ clients, gone viral on Substack, and taught workshops with over 100 participants.
I didn’t instantly make $100k in 6 months as my first business coach promised—in fact, it was quite the opposite. The deeper I went in business, the more I had to unlearn, let go of, and be willing to transform.
nothing turned out like I thought it would.
In 2019, I started my coaching business from a place of bright-eyed excitement and bone-deep knowing that this is what I was meant to do, and…
My STORY
healing is not about fixing
all of our broken places.
it’s about remembering
that pain doesn’t actually
break us — it forges us,
it opens us, it reminds us
that we were always whole.
I’ll hold and support you with both softness and strength, poetry and practicality, trusting in both the mystery and the plan we’ll birth and tend together.
I’m a triple Earth (Taurus sun, Capricorn moon, and Capricorn rising) and a Splenic Projector who will see right to the core of you—
let your ache
be your anchor
let your sorrow
be your north star
guiding you quietly
into the dark
unknowable
wilderness
of your own heart
I have an eye for detail, beauty, and design—I’m often met with awe when people walk into my intentionally- and lovingly-designed home—and I love nerding out on operations, task management systems, and marketing strategy. I'm also a life-long learner—I'm currently learning to hand-stitch and how to grow my wealth through intentional investing.
And… I am a type-A organization queen who loves teaching and guiding on Saturnian strategy and the nitty-gritty details of running a business.
Because I am a mother and a practitioner who leans fully into the seasons and cycles of life and creation, I work deeply, intentionally, and am able to cut right to the core of the matter to help you create organic, sustainable, and joyful momentum in your work.
I’ve been writing since before I could hold a pencil, and am currently working on my first book of poetry about my journey with grief and early motherhood.
I’m a devoted mother, poet, & tea ceremonialist.
In addition to my work as a mentor and coach,
My work is for you if…
You’ve been devoted to your inner work for years, and you’re ready to translate your internal congruency into external results.
You find yourself stuck in rigid strategies or constant pressure to follow rules, expectations, and obligations that leave you feeling drained, and you’re ready to bring your writing through in a way that feels sustainable, fun, and fully in flow.
Client Transformations
"Showing up for my business in this way created an energetic reverberation that I continue to feel. I feel big opportunities and invitations right around the corner. I feel that the foundation is more solid than it ever has been. I feel more confident as an entrepreneur than I ever have before. I'm having more fun as an entrepreneur than I ever have before. I feel more deeply attuned to my business and more trusting of my decision-making around many aspects of business, such as writing, what to share and when, and offer creation. I do less, and what I do has more of an impact!"

"Melina has such a gentle, welcoming, and kind presence. I felt at ease from the very beginning. She opened each session with a meditation that helped me arrive, be present, and open up. She created a space that felt safe to be vulnerable in."
