ABOUT MEL
Being an experiential learner and teacher, Mel has traveled the world to learn from renowned teachers in various modalities, such as trauma resolution, altered states, sexuality, transpersonal psychology, grief and death, addiction and recovery, eroticism, energy work, ritual and magic. She weaves these diverse lineages and wisdom into unique experiences that result in profound transformation.
Mel began exploring these realms at the age of sixteen after her own personal struggles with grief and trauma, and is passionate about helping people shift the negative patterns that block their access to hope, pleasure, resilience, and joy. She remains dedicated to expanding her capacity for the full spectrum of the human experience.
Mel’s work is described as deeply transformational, providing clean, reliable access to transcendence and abundant personal growth. Her clients praise her exceptional care, skillful space-holding, and the life-changing impact of her work, resulting in a deeper love for themselves, connection with their loved ones and a knowing of something greater that is holding us all. In the tantric realms, her ability to lovingly address and uncover shame while reconnecting people to their own sexuality, desire, and vitality has shown many people how to create the life they have always wanted to live.
Mels certifications in Polarity Therapy, Addiction and Recovery, Breathwork, Death Doula Studies, Human Psychology, Ritual and Magic, Psychedelic Facilitation and Integration, Sex and Sexuality, Tantric Practices, and Vinyasa Yoga.

Every inch of the property carries a sense of wonder — from the whispering trees to the sunlit gardens that seem to hum with life. Designed for both gathering and solitude, Joytown offers ample outdoor patios and gardens for group sessions, along with three distinctive homes that provide guests with their own private sanctuaries for rest and reflection.
Every corner of Joytown has been intentionally designed — an ever-evolving love letter to beauty, community, and magic. I
Tucked along the edge of California’s wild coastline, the Stinson House is a luminous haven overlooking the Pacific. Just steps from the heart of Stinson Beach—a beloved little surf town known for its slow rhythm and golden sunsets—this airy, light-filled home invites you to breathe deeper and let time soften.
From its expansive front deck, panoramic ocean views stretch endlessly toward the horizon. Inside, sunlight filters through wide windows, dancing across warm wooden textures and cozy corners designed for reflection and connection. The interiors blend simplicity and soul: open spaces for gathering, quiet nooks for journaling or tea, and a gentle coastal breeze that moves through it all like a lullaby.
Whether you’re here to unwind, create, or reconnect, Stinson offers the perfect balance of comfort, beauty, and a touch of seaside magic.
