Hi I’m Mel,
Internationally Certified Sex and Relationship Coach based here in New Zealand. I am deeply passionate about teaching and guiding women how to feel sexually free, alive, turned on and confident in the bedroom!
After attending a sexuality workshop in Bali many many moons ago I realised how disconnected I was from my sexuality. I was a yoga teacher at the time and felt like conversations about sex and pleasure were rarely discussed. With a passion and mission to make sex more mainstream I travelled the globe to train with world-class sexuality teachers, somatic sexologists and tantric masters.
My work has been published in GRAZIA Croatia, Australian Women’s Health Magazine, YahooLifestyle, NZ Herald, VIVA, Body+Soul and Fashion Quarterly.
I have supported thousands of women to step past the fear and shame that sex brings and feel unbounded with the possibility of their sexuality and relationships.

So, how did I end up here?
After a light bulb moment in Bali many moons ago when I properly met my vagina for the first time…
