As an embodied business coach, emotional alchemist & sensual embodiment queen, I’m here to help you find your fuck yes in life & business.
Despite what you’ve been taught, you’re not meant to do this alone, you never were.
Breathe deep and let the truth of this move through your body as sweet relief.
It’s my souls purpose and quite literally “written in the stars” of my astrology to nurture community.
To create spaces where you can feel safe and brave enough to release what’s no longer serving you, learn and embody the codes that will support you to evolve yourself and your business, and be seen, heard and celebrated by your tribe as you do it.
You deserve to be nourished and supported on your journey.
We fly higher when we rise together.
Ascension is the accumulation of my life path thus far. It’s every pragmatic & energetic practice and download I’ve received & integrated that has supported me to create limitless freedom in all of the ways, in both my life and business.
Right now this looks like rooting down in my own home ‘The Pleasure Palace’ by the sea when I‘m in the UK, and flying away to the tropics when my heart and body call for it.
I am freedom embodied. My work is intuitively channeled through me like orgasms of divine self-expression. I’m wildly abundant in money, energy and time. I live in sync with my natural rhythms, prioritising my health, joy and pleasure.
I'm in a loving, safe, committed, sexy, romantic relationship with a woman I love and am in love with; where all of me is seen and celebrated.
I've burned everything to the ground and walked through the darkest of nights to get here. I’ve held myself through not one but two near death experiences, heart breaks, sickness & loss, and I’m here on the other side of it all stepping into my dharma of holding you.
You wild women who are ready to evolve yourself & your soul work in community, so you can be who you’re here to be.
Let’s fucking do this.
““Thank you, your work is what this world needs - lets make a world full of amazing divine feminine leaders! You have helped me to start believing in my strengths and identify with being the leader I am.””

““The Feminine Rising Retreat was just what my soul needed.””
““I learned that safe spaces exist so you don’t have to hide behind a mask to feel safe. I learned to soak into my body memory being seen without fear of being hurt. I learned the importance of being able to share my fears and dreams without fear of being judged. Seek out those who make you feel supported and seen. You can experience all these things with people who want to know who you truly are. These are not luxuries but human needs that deserve to be fulfilled. Thank you Alice & Melissa for enabling the safe space for this experience and learning.””

““This retreat was just something else! The space was held so beautifully from day one that we all started SEEING and CONNECTING with each other almost immediately. This allowed a sense of community to form very early on the retreat which then rippled throughout the weekend making every meditation, yoga session, workshop, ceremony so powerful and healing.
I came with one very close friend of mine and came back with 16 new sisters! Many of them are within walking distance from me and will definitely be seeing again. A synchronicity I love as I wouldn’t have met them if it wasn’t for the retreat.
A HUGE thank you for such an experience!” ”
““The Feminine Rising Retreat, hosted by Alice and Melissa, was just as I expected: wholesome, reflective, sublimely organised, and the perfect blend of calming and invigorating.
But there were also many, many things that I couldn’t have predicted. The relief and reflection that came with collective silence, and the way in which this silence bonded me further with the women participating. The deep feeling of pride that I had done something good for myself. A weekend free from shame and negative talk. A safe space to take what was calling to me, and (gracefully) leaving behind what wasn’t. Gently allowing past storylines to reappear while sharing in the group and feeling no judgement; just acknowledgement and gratitude for the space to share it in. Remembering how good it feels to trust in others - as well as myself - via partnered yoga. Dancing one moment, and escaping to the garden to be alone the next. It was a much-needed weekend of reflection and release.
I’m very grateful to Alice & Melissa for their work and gentle push to open doors I’m currently closing on myself. Their guidance is a gift.””
