refine your voice + embody your power

Woman, I see you.

You’ve been asked to meet yourself, your edges, your deepest fears, your dark night of the soul in ways beyond what you thought you could handle.

And now?

You’re ready to speak your truth and embody your gifts in a way you never have before - in a way that can only come through having met the depths of your darkness.

And yet…something feels missing.

Your fear is still in the driver’s seat and every time you go to share, create or express, you feel stuck, confused, and paralyzed with doubt.

There’s a part of you begging you to keep playing it safe, but there’s another part that deeply desires what others have and the way they seemingly share themselves with abandon.

You worry that if you truly step into your power and share from the depths of your heart, you’ll be judged, criticized, and misunderstood.

And yet…your desire to truly speak your truth is becoming greater than your fear of what will happen when you do.

You’re standing at a crossroads…and deep in your bones you know which path to follow.

Yes, you have the tools and resources and practices…but there’s nothing quite like being held, mirrored and lovingly guided by a woman who has walked the fires of the underworld herself and is thriving on the other side.

So if you’ve been longing for a loving hand to hold you as you remember who you truly are…

I invite you to join me inside REMEMBRANCE, my signature 4-month 1:1 mentorship — it’s a deep-as-the-ocean coaching container to refine your voice and embody your power.

Because you don’t need to “find” your voice…you need to remember that it’s already within you.

For the woman who is ready to remember…what are you waiting for?

“Melina will push you gently and stoke the fire within you as you burn through the layers of doubt in your process. To be inspired to meet my edges in a container like this helped me to regain confidence in my own unique voice. I now feel an unapologetic fire to express myself more raw, more true, less polished.”

-Kat H.

This is for you if you’re ready to…

  • Move from feeling creatively stuck, afraid, and confused to feeling clear in your voice, grounded in your creative flow, and excited to share your magic with the world

  • Deeply embody and fully integrate the intense imitations you’ve walked as portals of your greatest creativity, transformation, and vitality

  • Spread your creative wings in new and exciting ways — whether that be launching new business or creative project, writing a book, or expressing yourself in a way you haven’t before. No more holding back on your dreams!

  • Remember the JOY and pleasure in creating, not just creating because you “have” to or even for your business, but creating for no other reason than it sets your soul on fire

  • Raise your standards for who you choose as your coach/mentor — you’re not looking for someone to give you a roadmap but someone who will help you deeply connect with your own, and you’re interested in an intimate, longer term coaching container

“I wanted to leave Melina's sessions with hard metrics to tell you all the things that made me a so-called “better person.” What I got instead was something even better: freedom from measuring myself and a growing contentment in the woman I Am in this now moment. If you're ready to do a deep dive and release the woman you think you should be so you can confidently embody the woman you REALLY are, Melina is the mentor you’ve been waiting for.”

-Paula V.

in mentorship we may explore…

  • Who are you now after this transition / initiation? As this next version of yourself? What needs to be let go of to make space for the new?

    • You’re not interested in surface-level grief support - you’re looking for deep, somatic, full-spectrum space-holding that allows for all parts of you and all parts of your grief, no matter what kind of grief you’ve walked with

    • You’re not trying to avoid, fix, or escape your grief and the difficult experiences you’ve been through - you know your grief is sacred and deserves to be honored for the transformational initiation that it is

    • You’re not interested in run-of-the-mill writing or creativity that forces you to stay in a straight line - you know that your creativity is intimately connected to your connection with spirit, with yourself, with your grief, and with all of life

    • You want your writing and creations to feel authentic and pour through you easefully and effortlessly

    • You want to feel comfortable and confident sharing your most authentic + vulnerable, heartfelt creations and offerings, not blocked by fear, worrying about what people will think, imposter syndrome, comparison, etc.

    • You want to feel creatively fulfilled and fully expressed, not like you’re trying to be someone else or fit into a box that will make others comfortable

    • you want to move beyond creation just for your job and reclaim creativity as a joyous, sacred act of communion with the divine

“Melina has such a gentle, welcoming, and kind presence. I felt at ease from the very beginning. She created a space that felt safe to be vulnerable in. I’m walking away with a full heart and a deeper connection to my creative power, especially as a woman. I’m also leaving with new tools, practices, and ideas to keep nourishing my creative work, especially in writing.

-Sara M.

FAQs

  • Yes. This is so we both get a feel for each others’ energies in a more intimate setting and decide if moving into a mentorship relationship would be beneficial for us both.

  • Absolutely not. I welcome clients with all kinds of grief - not just those who have lost loved ones to death. I’ve worked with clients grieving old identities, old relationships, dreams that didn’t come true, and many other kinds of grief. All grief is welcome.

  • No, I do not offer single sessions because the nature of my work is deep and requires a longer-term commitment. One session can lay a beautiful foundation, but to truly benefit on a deep level from our work together, ongoing sessions are needed.

  • Yes. If we both feel that continued work is needed, we can continue our work together for another 4 months and beyond. We will check in every 4 months to see how things are feeling.

  • No, I don't offer scholarships or discounts on mentorship - after my many years working with clients, I am committed to keeping my client load small so I can offer the highest quality of spaceholding to the clients who do choose to work with me and so I can earn a living wage that supports my family.

    I've come to these rates very intentionally and deliberately due to many factors including my years of experience, all that I have invested in many different trainings, the high quality of space I hold for clients, the immense value clients receive from working with me, as well as all that's included in the mentorship.

    If you’re not able to afford mentorship, I encourage you to attend my grief ceremonies or writing circles, where I am often able to provide some 1:1 support at the end of each call for a much more accessible price.

    • This is not for someone who is moving through acute grief or any other acute mental health crises

    • This is not for someone who is looking for an easy fix and is not willing to put in the work to see change

    • This is not for someone who doesn’t believe in Spirit / God / or a higher power

    • This is not for someone who is looking for guaranteed results. This mentorship isn’t about external results, though those may naturally arise from our work together. This is about deep transformational work, not about what results you can get from working with me.

    • 12 sessions over 4 months (about 3 sessions per month with 1 integration week)

    • Voice and text support via Telegram between sessions beginning the date of your first session and ending on the date of your last session

    • 4 months’ complementary paid Substack subscription which gives you access to a library of bonus meditations and our monthly online writing circles

    • Free access to our monthly Sacred Ground ceremonies for grief + growth

    • Free access to any other programs or offerings I create during our time together

  • This is for women and femme-identifying beings.

“Melina is such a grounded, wise, and loving guide. She holds space in such an intentional way—real, rooted, and heart-led. Being in Melina’s space felt like a permission slip to show up as I am. I felt supported, seen, and free to create in a way that felt true for me.”

-Claudia W.

When I was 28 weeks pregnant with my first child, my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given six months to live. Days after her diagnosis, as she was lying in an ICU hospital bed, I awoke before dawn and began to write.

I knew immediately that these pieces of writing were coming from somewhere beyond me — they felt different than anything I had written before. I was also guided in that moment to create my Substack, Writing from the Ashes. It was birthed in the midst of death.

Three months later, I gave birth to my son and three months after that, I walked my mother home to her death. I experienced entire lifetimes in those six months, pressed my fragile bones against the very edges of life itself and walked through the fires of the deepest initiations one can encounter.

And through it all — writing and creating continued to bring me home to myself.

Some of that writing I shared on Substack. Most of it I kept to myself, and may never share. It doesn’t matter. What matters is listening deeply to what your soul is desiring, and trusting in that. Creating because we were meant to create.

So if you’re ready to refine your voice and embody your power after everything you’ve moved through…I can’t wait to walk with you.
