  • Mela has a lovely way of cultivating a safe space for our voices. Her ability to share tools and techniques with a heart based approach creates a welcoming environment for us to explore and grow our speaking ability from an authentic center. Our growth and the courage to speak is fostered, encouraged and nurtured! ...paired with intuitive guidance and a deep commitment to embrace and uplift women who speak.

“I believe that as we uplift women, we uplift society.”
— Mela Amaiya

Blessings, I'm your host, Mela Amaiya

I believe Women hold deep medicine for our world and that reclaiming our own sacredness is deeply important – for ourselves and for the world around us. I'm passionate about dance, mothering, and the art of refining everyday rituals. I believe movement is medicine, so you'll often find me in a dance studio or performing, or I may be laughing with friends, or sitting quietly by a river with my tea in hand.

My intention is to support you in creating habits that are intentional, nourishing and sacred, and in feeling empowered, beautiful and aligned in your body, voice and life. My classes/programs weave together embodiment, sacred practice, community connection, and joy. Looking forward to growing with you!
