Finding Comfort in Change


Ritual

Somatic Energy Healing

Hello friends,

It’s been a little while since I’ve written or shared online.

Life has been asking a lot of me lately. I’ve been navigating some big changes, one of them being supporting my Mum in moving from living independently into full-time aged care (palliative care).

It’s been a process of touring homes, waiting for the right place, packing up 25 years of memories, and making difficult decisions… even down to what to do with her 16-year-old dog.

It’s been confronting, overwhelming, and deeply emotional.

My mum has been one of my greatest teachers, and at times, a challenging relationship for us both.

So this transition has brought up a lot for me, including the quiet weight of guilt.

Wondering if she’ll be okay.

If she’ll be cared for.

If she’ll feel abandoned.

These feelings: overwhelm, anxiety, guilt, abandonment, they’re not new to me.

They’re actually what led me to this work three decades ago.

This is why I do what I do, to support the body through what feels too much.

To create a sense of safety when everything feels uncertain., and to gently come back to yourself.

Last Sunday, I turned 50, and something feels like it’s shifting for me in this new chapter a deeper commitment to the work, to living with intention, and to supporting others in a way that feels truly meaningful.

In honour of this transition, my mum’s, and my own, I’m opening up a small number of 1:1 Somatic Energy Healing sessions at a reduced rate.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or not quite like yourself, this could be a beautiful time to reconnect and be supported.

Sessions are available in - person in Melbourne and Online globally.

If you feel called, I’d love to hold space for you you can book directly below, or send me an email:

I’m sending you so much love in whatever you’re navigating right now.

With love,

Melissa xo

Hi I'm Melissa, founder of Bohemian Somatics and creator of the Soul Remembrance Method™ I've always been fascinated by what helps people reconnect with themselves. Over the years that curiosity led me through personal transformation. I guide women through somatics, energy healing and embodied practices that help awaken the soul memories that are ready to come online. Together, we create space for greater ease, deeper connection, self-trust and embodiment, so life begins to feel different from the inside out. Whether you've arrived here through my writing, my work, or simple curiosity, I hope you'll find something that resonates with you. A thought, an idea, a moment of beauty, or perhaps a little inspiration to look at your own life differently. Thank you for being here.

What if clarity isn't something you need to find, but something you allow yourself to notice?

I'm not sure if you saw, but last night we welcomed the August Full Moon in Pisces and I think this one arrives with a beautiful invitation for all of us. Pisces is a deeply intuitive and sensitive sign, traditionally associated with imagination, dreams, spirituality, compassion and the unseen parts of ourselves, the things we often feel before we can put them into words. So rather than thinking about the full moon as something that is here to tell us what we need to release or let go of,...

The Luxury of a Life That Fits You Perhaps true luxury isn't having more. Perhaps it's having a life that actually feels like yours. Hello friend, I've been contemplating the word luxury lately. We tend to associate it with beautiful things, a beautiful home, a beautiful holiday, a beautiful wardrobe, financial freedom, the ability to buy what we want without thinking too much about the price, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying beautiful things. The older I get, the more I've...

Bohemian Somatics Consciously Melissa The Quiet Work No One Sees ↓ Hello gorgeous, Something I've been thinking about lately is how quietly change often arrives for us. We tend to imagine transformation as something dramatic, a new job, a new relationship, a big announcement, or a complete reinvention. In my personal experience the deepest shifts rarely happen that way. They happen in the moments no one applauds. The decision to speak more kindly to yourself. The habit you stop returning to....
