Join the Freedom Rituals Circle
Align Your Daily Rituals With Your Desires
Freedom Rituals Program with Mini Group Accountability
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.
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.
I believe out 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.
