Meet Melissa:
I have been called to be a beacon and advocate for women, while fostering connection and community. As I became a Registered Nurse 11 years ago, my purpose emerged clearer. I would use my knowledge and compassion to create spaces of healing. While working in Integrative Wellness I began the practice of Craniosacral Therapy, Yoga Nidra, and herbal medicine. These practices had a profound effect on my body and spirit and I felt inspired to share them with other women. After bringing care to many people and becoming a mother, I felt even more compelled to help women and mothers. Soon after becoming a mother, I felt a deep calling to practice Mayan Abdominal therapy, which is integral in women’s health and for prenatal/postpartum mothers. Soon after, I knew beyond one on one care, the deeper calling was to gather groups of women. The best medicine for me is sitting with women in a space to rest and recall our essence. I believe that sitting with support, in ceremony, and using our plants and practices is what we are needing as a collective. I am so honored to gather and co-create these experiences and make our way through the mud together.
Meet Kate:
I’m a devoted seeker and explorer of life and experiences.
My journey has been full, winding, expansive, beautiful, messy and heart-opening beautiful, embracing all of it. And through all of it, I have come to believe that we are resilient beings, who have the capacity to heal, expand and transform many times over in life. I work as a nourishment & intimacy guide who believes in the inner and outer connection of wellness and radiance. I believe there is a bridge that weaves all the layers: physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically together. It is our birthright to explore, connect, activate, heal and expand on these layers in our lives.
For years, I’ve devoted myself to studying sacred sexuality, somatic therapy, empowerment coaching, nutrition, herbal medicine, fields that have helped me honor the emotional and energetic layers of the human experience.
I’m the founder and owner of Sunshine Kate’s Wellness Center in New Jersey, an evolving sanctuary born from a deeply personal journey of healing, curiosity, and connection. What began as a simple personal cooking service soon expanded into something far more holistic. I found myself called to movement, which naturally flowed into supporting women through hormonal shifts, and then deeper still into the study of trauma, the nervous system, human sexuality, and somatic-based therapies. This organic unfolding ultimately gave rise to The Intimacy Doula—a portal for deep embodiment, relational healing, and intimacy education.
