My Purpose..
About 11 years ago I went on my first solo trip. I was supposed to meet my best friend in London, and then travel together to Amsterdam, however last minute she had to cancel, and my tickets were already booked.
I didn’t want to give up, so I went anyway. I ended up on a dark London street in an empty and rather cold hostel, which as you can imagine wasn’t the most welcoming first day of solo travel.
This trip was full of suprises, tears, and life lessons which have built me into the woman I am today. Wanderlust has stuck with me over the years. An addiction to the unknown, a craving for lessons I didn’t know I needed to learn, and the inspiration that comes with it.
I’m here to be a helping hand when it comes to all things travel, a human with a heart that can listen and help you through the tough times, and an asset to your team to get out the messages you’re not quite sure how to relay.

Sensory Depri…What??
BLOG: What is Sensory Deprivation?Sensory Deprivation. It doesn’t sound as appealing as one would like, huh? It sounds a bit like, I am inviting you for a dark night of torture, with no fun in sight, (literally and figuratively) But what if I told you, that’s where...

A 12 week immersive online course to tap into yourself and explore how your body’s natural sense of expression can help you in all areas of life.
Immersive Online Courses
As a Taurus, I am naturally drawn to the senses and connecting to the way they make me feel so alive. Having spent the last 4 years diving deeper and deeper into sensory exploration I have discovered the impact of deepening your connection to self through different creative exercises can have on your daily life.
From creative writing, looking deep into the darkness, all the way to sensory activation techniques, I have created online experiences that will help you push through the stickiness of life and expand your self awareness, expressions of gratitude, and discover parts of yourself that have been hiding from you.
Services
From trip planning, to immersive experiences, I’ve got a solution for everyone’s needs. I specialize in content related to wellness, travel, and food, so if you’re looking for something, chances are I’ve got you covered.
Trip Planning & Itinerary Creation
When it comes to planning your trip you must first ask, am I a tourist or a traveler?
I have a unique process when it comes to curating the perfect trip, we first start with a few questions, followed by your trip’s “dream board” so we can set the tone and create the perfect itinerary.
Want to travel and don’t know where to start? I’ve got you covered.
Blogs, Articles, Graphics & More..
Needing some content? I specialize in curating words that not only speak to the readers, but allows them to connect with the emotions behind everything being expressed.
Whether you need a casual tone or more polished and professional, I can create copy, listacles, blogs and more based on travel, wellness, and food. Some things I have written about in the past are tips and tricks (these vary), mental health, destinations, reviews, recipe writing, food blogging and more.
Tell me what you need and I’ll show you what I can do.
Events & Retreats
As a nomad, I tend to be in a lot of different places, sometimes in a short amount of time, sometimes not.
When I travel, cultural connection is the most important (and impactful) part of my journey and I want you all to feel this too.
Follow along to see where I’ll be and who we’ll be connecting to next. This varies from week long retreats to pop-up events.

“Recently went to a sensory playshop by Mel and it was such a beautiful experience. The whole space felt so welcoming and safe. We all came as strangers and left as friends. Definitely going to be doing more.”

“Did the Queer Singles Sensory Journey on July 1st and so glad I did. I’m not going to lie I was a bit hesitant at first going to an unfamiliar place, completely loosing your ability to see where you are going with complete strangers was a bit out of my comfort zone to say the least. However, I have learned over the years that sometime you have to get out of your comfort zone to experience what the world has to offer. You dont realize how much if a distraction your eyes can be until you loose them. Having dinner and the whole experience with a group of gorgeous women getting to know each other on a different level (PG) and got to know myself more is something I don’t think I’ll forget. If you are thinking about it, take the plunge and give it a try promise you won’t die

“Mel is an amazing creatrix, I know this journey is typically shared with a partner, but I wanted to share it with one of my soul sisters. Mel wrote this beautiful goddess journey for us. The whole experience was incredible. I don’t want to spoil it with any details, but I will say it far exceeded my expectations. The intention, detail and energy her and Luna put into this experience was just so special and I am beyond grateful. I will never forget this
