These are your birthright.
Everything that you want is on the other side of remembering who you really are - a divine soul embodied in human form.
The Reclaimed Woman puts her soul at the center of her life, knowing it’s the key to shifting her inner and outer world.
Here’s exactly how we do it:
Sacred Feminine Ceremony so you can directly connect with your soul and the divine.
Badass Self-Care Practices to help you ground the work in your daily life.
One-on-One Healing Work to get to the root of what needs attention and care.
The Reclaimed Woman is deep soul work + practical strategies + sacred community
The Reclaimed Woman is a seasonal, three-month container.
In celebration of this new offering, you can try the program for the month of August.
The details:
Our Sacred Feminine Ceremony will be held on Tuesday, August 11 from 6-8pm at The Studio at CV & Co in Lewiston, NY.
Badass Self-Care Practices will land every Monday in our private Telegram chat.
Your 1:1 Healing Session will be scheduled at your convenience anytime during the month of August.
You’re not tired for the reasons you think you are.
The natural order of things is for you to be plugged into your power, pleasure, and life force energy; grounded in your magic and connected to the divine; and living a life that is anchored with sacred rituals.
I'm guessing that is not your current experience of life.
You are tired because it takes so much energy to live out of alignment with this natural order of things. To give your power away to people, places, and projects that are not aligned with your true essence. To perform the role of a "good woman." To forget your power, magic, and wisdom. To live disconnected from the divine. To be starved of magic.
Give me one month and I'll show you how it feels to live the way we are meant to be living - connected to your soul, tuned into the divine, and held by a community of compassionate women.
Who is The Reclaimed Woman for?
The women who gather in my circles are devoted caregivers.
They are loving mothers, partners, and friends. They are healers – therapists, teachers, aestheticians, massage therapists, coaches, and yoga teachers. They have dedicated their lives to taking care of others – their children, parents, grandparents, students, and clients. They are the women who make this world a better place. They shape the future with their love and kindness.
And often they feel depleted and alone. Sometimes they are even inside of burn out. Because they are putting so much out into the world. Because caregiving takes a lot of energy. Because they are sensitive and empathic and feel so much.
I understand you want to make an impact with your life.
I know your heart aches for a more loving and just world.
Centering your soul is the key to changing both your life and the world.
The Details of Our Sacred Container
Sacred Feminine Ceremony
It’s time to return to the ancient ways.
Our world is desperately calling out for the Sacred Feminine. This is not about gender; it’s about honoring our cyclical nature, trusting our intuition, and knowing we can each directly connect to the divine.
The path of the Sacred Feminine is a remembrance of what we’ve always known, deep down inside - that we are worthy and whole, just as we are; that we are powerful and magical beings; that love is the way forward.
I am a priestess of the Rosa Mystica and 13 Moon Mystery School lineages. For the past five years I have been immersed in studying the ancient technologies of the Sacred Feminine (working with archetypal faces of the goddess, becoming a certified Scent Priestess, utilizing specific practices to help women connect with their soul-selves, and walking my own path of spiritual growth).
Each month we will gather for a Sacred Feminine Ceremony so that you can commune with your soul-self. Spending time in ceremony cuts through the noise and confusion of both the outer world and our thinking minds; it creates a potent and direct connection with the wisdom of our souls.
“My biggest transformation was the amount of bullshit I was able to let go of.
The stories I created and carried to define me. I was able to unburden and remove layers that were no longer serving me. Removing armor that I no longer needed. I am so grateful for you, Melinda! I hope you realize the difference you are making in this world.”
Badass Self-Care
I originally created Badass Self-Care as a promise to myself.
I had lost myself inside of an intense period of caregiving. I was exhausted and overwhelmed and I knew something had to change.
I named my intention Badass Self-Care because taking care of myself felt like a radical notion and I knew I would need to channel my inner badass in order to start showing up for myself.
What began as a promise to myself grew into a complete framework for reclaiming self-love and self-trust.
I have been teaching Badass Self-Care since 2015 and it has evolved from what began as a focus on self-care behaviors into a comprehensive understanding of how the systems we live inside of impact our experience of the world and ability to care for ourselves as women.
Hundreds of women have utilized the Badass Self-Care framework to nourish their relationship with themselves and reclaim their time and energy.
“I signed up for Badass Self-Care because I wanted a positive group to help me with my self-care journey. During the course I learned how to incorporate various tools in my self-care plan and I was able to make some needed adjustments in my life. I learned to express my fears and desires with other women. Joining is an investment in yourself.”
The tenets of Badass Self-Care:
1. You are enough, just as you are in this moment. Everything that you need is already within you.
2. You do not need to be fixed because you are not broken.
3. You deserve to be the center of your own life.
4. Self-care is not selfish.
5. Self-care is not an indulgence; it is a necessity.
6. Self-care occurs within the social and cultural context of our lives.
7. Self-care is not prescriptive; it is an individualized practice.
8. Self-care is dynamic and fluid; what it looks like changes over time, sometimes even moment to moment.
9. Self-care is not something we have to earn. We are all worthy of self-care simply because we exist.
10. Self-care is more than behaviors; it is a mindset, an embodied knowing of our worth
1:1 Healing Sessions
You will receive one 60-minute 1:1 Healing Session. This session can be breathwork, anointing, or mentorship.
I am trained in the breathwork lineage of David Elliot. Breathwork is a bridge between the subconscious mind, our cellular body, and the spiritual essence of who we are. It helps us clear stuck energy, shift limiting beliefs, and release stored emotions and trauma from the body.
Anointing has been utilized for thousands of years as a sacred practice of blessing and devotion. During this ceremony, I will use high-frequency essential oils and healing touch to anoint your body, helping you to release what no longer serves you and welcome in love and support. I also incorporate tuning forks and crystals to help create balance in the mind, body, and spirit.
Mentorship sessions involve a blend of meditation, processing, and problem-solving from a spiritual and psychological lens.
Whichever type of session you choose, it will be specifically designed for you. We will connect beforehand to talk about your intention for our time together. I have a gift for getting to the root of what needs care inside of your mind, body, and soul.
* There is an option to join The Reclaimed Woman without the 1:1 session.
“The anointing was so powerful, like an ancient healing. I got clarity during the session and I felt so much more in touch with my truest self. It felt like coming home. I left feeling so connected and centered.”
Hi, I’m Melinda!
I was largely disconnected from the voice of my soul for the first 30 years of my life. I was living my life trying to gain approval from others. My life looked great on paper but I felt anxious, exhausted, and unfulfilled. I found my way back home to myself during a meditation while on my first women’s retreat in 2008 and I’ve been dedicated to nurturing my relationship with my soul-self since that moment. I love supporting sensitive, spiritual women as they create soul-centered lives and step into their most juicy, LIT UP, well-resourced selves!
I am a priestess trained in the Rosa Mystica and 13 Moon Mystery School lineages. I formerly worked as a therapist, yoga teacher, and wellness studio owner. I am also a trained breathwork practitioner and the author of two books about mindfulness and self-care, My Sacred Pause and Badass Self-Care.
My work is informed by my professional training as a trauma-sensitive therapist and sacred feminine priestess, as well as my personal experiences of walking a spiritual path and navigating self-care as a woman inside of patriarchal culture. My offerings are soul-led and intuitively guided. Know that if you choose to work with me, you will be held with deep love and reverence. I have a gift for creating sacred containers that encourage vulnerability and transformation. I would be honored to have you join us inside of The Reclaimed Woman.
“I had a huge emotional release and was able to let go of so much weight and responsibility that never belonged to me in the first place.
I joined a group breathwork session facilitated by Melinda and it was a powerful container that offered so much stability, safety, softness, and strength—a beautiful reflection of the energy she holds and brings to every space she’s in.
I often struggle to maintain breath during these types of processes, and while that challenge showed up again, Melinda’s skillful facilitation helped me stay present and open. Her mastery in guiding transcendent journeys allowed me to access deep insight and make important connections between present and past life experiences, as well as how they related to harmful beliefs I’d internalized as a child.
I left feeling lighter, relieved, empowered, and more hopeful for the future. This was a profoundly healing experience.”

I decided to join Badass Self-Care…
because I felt I needed support from other women. I knew I had a fire within me that was small but with time and effort it could grow! After participating in Badass Self-Care I am more connected to my inner wisdom. I know my body and soul deeper than before. This program is for you if you want to spend time with like-minded people to help you find yourself and know that you are worthy.

It was so nourishing to connect with other women and talk about our shared experiences. The meditation you offered was really powerful and transformative for me.

My Vision for The Reclaimed Woman:
You will stop…
:: saying yes when you mean no
:: incessantly comparing yourself to others
:: working to prove your worth
:: rushing through your life
:: swallowing your words to keep the peace
:: living your life to please others
:: feeling guilty for prioritizing your needs
You will understand…
:: how patriarchal conditioning impacts your experience of the world
:: why our culture is set up to make you feel like you’re not good enough
:: that the system is broken, not you
:: the power of being connected to the divine and living a soul-centered life
You will know…
:: you are enough just as you are, right here right now
:: you are not alone
:: you inherently deserve love, safety, and respect
:: you can trust yourself
:: your soul came here for a reason
:: your dreams matter
Come put your soul at the center of your life and watch the magic unfold!
We begin on August 3, 2026. I can’t wait to welcome you to our circle!
Space is limited to 10.
Coming in, I felt very nervous and unsure! Leaving I felt like my brain was on another planet. Like my soul had leveled up. I felt empowered and like my life is going to be better than I could have imagined!
