I want to remind you that your sacred rage is an appropriate and embodied response right now;
to a culture that allows råpe to become business as usual and the mishandling of power a default setting.

Let this be a permission slip; that perhaps instead of rationalising, debating, explaining all that’s emerging in you in light of the way the world is — instead, bring it in to the Altar of your body. Your instincts are there to protect you,
Come home to them.
There is a wild way of Love knocking on all of our doors right now; one that fiercely protects Life, Eros and the female body.
One that honours s*x again as the site of healing. One that is in deep reverence of life itself. Flesh. Breathe.

Bless all the women unmuting centuries and æons of silence; through and with the power of their Love.
It’s you, women - I am in deepest service to.
It’s good to see you again. Let’s get to work.

In service of Her.

Devotional Bodywork ~ in London.
in residency at the
my upcoming dates:
Friday 9th October.
Friday 6th November.
tbc December.

I had so much fun last month offering this as a one-off that I’m doing it again. I am offering a drop-in opportunity to experience the depth of Devotional & Pelvic bodywork ritual which I usually only offer as part of an immersive 1:1 Retreat —
in the context of a one-off session.

2-2.5hr long deep+slow reset |~ focussing on de-armouring the pelvis & sacrum. for all bodies & genders.

“These are intelligent hands that meet body and flesh with grace. Melissa’s is a listening touch that encounters the body with exquisite sensitivity. By that I don’t mean gentleness. Or, not always and not only. But an attuned touch that knows when to hold, when to pause, when to challenge and push. This is bodywork as profound care, bodywork as dance – a recognition that all bodywork is relational, that each is met and transformed through touch.

“If you feel the call to work with Melissa, don’t sleep on it. Act. Hers is work that grows from the deep, long time she has spent in study and pure attention of touch. It is not treatment in any conventional sense (though it is, too, a treat). It is Being-With – pure, loving attention, fierce or caressing as the body requests. There is cleansing, a working-throug. There is care, nourishment. You find yourself met, fully, as you are, in your body. And what more do we wish for than that?”

Thankyou to my incredible client who allowed us to photograph this moment during one of her sessions in our time together. It feels invaluable to be able to show windows into the frequency of what this work contains.

ps. when booking a session, I highly recommend booking in at the individual infrared sauna room next door :
for the most exquisite moment with your body.

I published one of the most personal pieces of writing I have let myself write last night.
It’s a story about my own personal experience with the patriarchal hex of obsession, Love addiction & how I am learning to Love Men.
It’s been a long time since this has happened to me; but this piece of writing held me hostage pretty much for the last two weeks. I cancelled all my plans so I could sit and pour myself into it. When I finally got round to doing what felt like the eleventh round of editing — with the help of my right hand priestess and only woman I would ever trust and have ever trusted with the embryo of my words - Meri Karhu - it was obvious that it was time to publish it, and yet
I cannot tell you how fu***ng terrifying it was and always is to actually share your most real, intimate truth via your Art in the world. I literally had to have a friend sit down next to me when I hit the publish button. I was hyperventilating. I realised how comfortable I am in the inbetween & in the secrecy of the Art. How scary it is to be in the giving it away & letting it be felt.
The collecting is one thing, the Having is another.

We live in strange times, where much of what we create is done entirely for the algorithm. So much so we’re forgotten the power of simply being human as hell.
The healing impact of what that does.
To simply keep telling the truth.

I hope
that I will always be a woman who chooses to tell the truth.
Even and especially when it makes no sense to anyone else
on the-off chance it might set one person free
May I continue to strip naked in front of thee.

I am being humbly reminded that this. is the point.
If I am to speak, please let it be removing a layer of clothing
and not an attempt at showing how I might have something you don’t. Thankyou for reminding me the point.

and ps.
🔗the unavailable man.
patriarchal hexes & misplaced devotion.

I’d really love to hear how the words resonate
& id love to hear your own story of misplaced devotion
-we all have one. that’s all i know.

on the topic of control and grief when it comes to opt-ing in to this matriarchal way of being; with our body first and foremost and ultimately, with everything.

this way is not for everyone, because this way goes against the grain of the dominant culture that encourages you to stay in the compelling experience of controlling, gripping and blaming.
However,
if you’ve already started to grieve this way
the cervix can begin to become your refuge.
as you entrain enchantment underneath your own hands,
fortify surrender
and engineer entropy
to make way for an original kind of feminine magnetism.
- one that pulls in without any gripping or controlling.

-an excerpt from the erotic authority portal🔓
when you sign up you get instant access to the preparation toolkit & video resources.
*that you’ll have access to for up to three months after the course has finished.

🔓we begin in five days.

enter…the cervix church.

It is my belief to the point of it becoming my religion that the world craves and requires right now is women opt-ing out of the claws of the ways of the rush
so we can opt-in to a way of gravity and intimacy
that restores and re-orients the natural rhythms of everything again.

my religion is women pouring back in to themselves. WBU?

see you in CERVIX CHXRCH on Sunday
or inside of erotic authority:- where we will regularly practice this way of pelvic care and re-alignment.
Get ready for 11 days of self-devotion.

ps. this is not a photo of my hands but a snippet from the Berlin immersion; where I was teaching the cervix church bodywork method — and it really takes no time to attune to this way of touch because, ultimately- this is how we connected before the modern meme of the rush.

for those who weren’t able to join the cervix church last week because the room was at full capacity - i have decided to offer it for free one final time this Sunday evening
before I immerse myself in preparations for erotic authority | which begins in 11 days.

If you’re feeling tender and in the craving of a sanctuary to pour love back in to your self; a gentle yet deep container to grieve in the most sensual way possible
to get turned on in the most poetic and sincere way your tissues might get to know~ under your own touch, guided by my words and the emergent energy of the group —
then it will be a pleasure to see you in church.

Cervix Church will be 1.5hrs in length
with a camera-on introduction to the practice
& then 45 minutes of pelvic bodywork
followed by a loving poetry summoning; to finalise.
the poetry that pours out of you in this space is…beyond.
thank you.
see you in church.

🔑this one will not be reordered *to make way for magic.
only RSVP if you intend to join.
maximum 44 women.
