Welcome to LifeTemple
“I’m here to help you connect with your joy, your body, your voice, your path… your dance.”
You already know what you desire. Let's align your daily life to match it — through ritual, embodiment, and one-on-one guidance.
– Mela AmaiyaCreate the Life You Desire
Ritual & Habits
Transform your daily choices into sacred practices that actually stick.
Body & Embodiment
Reconnect with your body's wisdom — through movement, sensuality, and somatic coaching.
Voice & Expression
Speak your truth powerfully — in your relationships, your career, and your life.
Work With Me One-on-One
If you're ready to go deep — to align your actions with your desires, clear what's been holding you back, and show up fully in your body and your life — this is for you.
Coaching is tailored entirely to you. We weave together somatic practices, mindset integration, emotional processing, and embodied ritual to create real, lasting transformation from the inside out.
This is for you if:
You've already done some inner work and you're craving something deeper, wilder, more you.
You want to feel your life in alignment with your dreams and feel truly connected to your body.
You want to act from truth, not fear — and you want a high level of accountability.
Three Ways to Work Together:
Embodied Life Coaching
Holistic 1:1 coaching combining somatic practices, mindset tools, emotional integration, and ritual. Offered in 3 or 5-month containers. For women ready to align their inner world and outer life.
Sensual Embodiment Coaching
Tap back into your sensuality, your pleasure, and your body's wisdom. This work is for women ready to reconnect with the sacred feminine within — and to live more fully from that place.
Private Dance Coaching
Grow exponentially with individualized 1-on-1 coaching - transform your daily rituals, thoughts and actions to create more of what you desire.
Align Your Daily Rituals With Your Desires
Freedom Rituals Program with Mini Group Accountability — Coming Soon
You know what you want. Maybe it's working out consistently, finishing that creative project, meditating, dancing, eating well — things you've been trying to integrate, but haven't quite managed to make stick.
The difference between where you are and where you want to be is a shift in your daily choices. It's more simple than it feels — and it's so much easier in community, with a map.
What we'll do together:
Transform habits into rituals — with gratitude, body wisdom, and intention.
Clear the blocks that keep showing up (emotional, mental, habitual).
Hold each other lovingly accountable in a supportive group container.
Discover the new identity and emotional states you're intentionally cultivating.
Build real momentum — and celebrate.
Hello I am Mela
I'm a dancer, embodiment coach, and ritualist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. With a BA in Dance and an MA in Women's Spirituality, I've spent my life exploring the body as a portal to activate the wisdom of the Divine within.
I work with women who are ready to stop waiting and start living — deeply, sensually, on their own terms. I believe that your body already holds the answers. My work is to help you listen.
I teach Belly Dance at Dance Mission Theater in San Francisco and Berkeley (Salimpour School), lead WomanSpeak Circles, host women's embodiment retreats, and run programs in Cuba on music and dance.
Our Bodies are Portals to the Divine Within
Dance Is Medicine
"I believe dance is medicine — and that our bodies are portals for the Divine Within."
I teach Belly Dance, perform at events across the Bay Area, and offer private classes for all levels — from beginners to those training for a special performance.
