I’m Melissa offering Body Joy service to individuals of all genders and orientations, couples and poly relationships.
Old stories and pressures can dissolve.
In their place, new languages of touch, desire, and expression are discovered.
If you’re stuck in your head, tired of routine, or yearning for deeper connection, my work supports you in awakening to your erotic aliveness.
Let’s explore new ways to touch, talk, and play.

Core Offerings
The Erotic Awakening — Tantric Massage
A guided, full-body FBSM experience. Learn to relax into receiving, let go of performance pressure, and awaken your erotic confidence.
A one-way touch journey designed to nourish your senses and reconnect you to your authentic desire.
Massage on the Edge — A Tactile Experience in Sensual Kink
For those craving to surrender, play, and let someone else be in charge. Light restraint, teasing sensation, deep nourishing touch. Explore my curated tools—or bring your own. Includes attire/scene elements. Sensual. Kinky. Attuned to you.
Sexological Bodywork / Somatic Sex Education
A hands-on, clothes-on or off professional container for deepening your range of experience, pleasure, and rewiring the nervous system through boundary work, conscious touch and breath. 5-10-session series recommended.
Sacred Intimate Immersions (6 hr Day)
For those called to explore their erotic truth in real time—with reverence.
These immersions can include embodied touch, conscious kink, role play, guided practices, excursions, and thoughtful, playful ritual. We co-create the space for your unique journey to unfold. This is not performative—it’s embodied erotic learning.
*Available in Austin, your city, or a retreat location.
Who This Work Is For
For Men:
Tired of the pressure to perform? Learn to trust your body, slow down, and expand pleasure without chasing a goal. Move from anxiety into embodied erotic confidence and full-body presence. Wholistic approach to rapid ejaculation, ED, grief, shame around desires.
For Women:
Longing to feel safe, free, and fully alive in your sensual body? Whether you’re navigating numbness, disconnection, or deep desire, come home to yourself. Reclaim your voice, your power, and your pleasure at any age.
For Couples:
Feeling distant, out of sync, or stuck in a routine? Together, we’ll shift from mundane to meaningful—from disconnection into erotic play. You’ll learn new ways to communicate, co-regulate through sensual practices, and rediscover each other. Even mismatched desire can become a doorway to deeper connection.
Or maybe things already feel fantastic, and you’re simply wondering, “What’s next for us?” This work can open new horizons of play, intimacy, and pleasure for couples at any stage.
1:1 Erotic Immersion Retreats / Ritual Ceremonies (1-3 days)
An erotic immersion is powerful because it offers what everyday life almost never does: spacious, uninterrupted time to focus and dive in the deep end of the unfolding.
Optional: sacrament-assisted sessions available.
I host retreats in Austin or travel to you.
