You’re not stuck. You’re trying to build a new reality with an identity that was created for your old one.
You have the vision.
Now become the woman who can bring it to life.
There is something inside of you that you can't ignore anymore.
The business. The brand. The idea.
The work you know you're here to do.
You can feel it.
But you also know the way you're currently thinking, showing up, making decisions, and spending your time doesn't match the woman who is going to build it.
You have CEO-level dreams but you're still negotiating with yourself, procrastinating on the things that matter, second-guessing your decisions, hiding when it's time to be visible, or waiting to feel ready before you move.
That's the gap we close.
Release & Reclaim is a 6-month identity + business transformation experience for the woman who is ready to stop thinking about the business she wants to build and become the woman who actually builds it.
We start with the woman.
Then we build the business.
This is NOT a traditional BUSINESS COACHING PROGRAM.
Because I don't believe you need another business strategy thrown at you.
You don't need another 47-step launch plan.
You don't need to copy someone else's morning routine, content strategy, business model or definition of success.
You need to become the woman who can execute your own vision.
That's why we don't begin with branding content calendars or a launch plan.
We begin with you.
Then, once your identity matches your vision, we build.
RELEASE
Release the identities, beliefs, habits and patterns that are keeping you from showing up at the level you know you're capable of.
RECLAIM
Reclaim your voice, desires, self-trust, confidence, standards and vision and create a new identity that actually reflects the woman you're becoming.
REBUILD
Take that new identity and turn it into something real.
Your mission.
Your brand.
Your ideal client.
Your offer.
This isn't six months of working on yourself while your dream sits on the shelf.
We're doing both.
BUILD THE WOMAN BEFORE YOU BUILD THE BUSINESS.
You can spend another $10,000 on a business coach, perfect your offer, rebrand your website
Hell, you can even build the funnel & map out the launch.
And still find yourself sitting at your laptop three months later wondering why you aren't doing the things you said you would do.
Because the business doesn't just require a strategy.
It requires a version of you who can hold it.
-
A woman who can:
-
Be visible without abandoning herself.
-
Sell without making someone's "no" mean something about her worth.
-
Make decisions without needing everyone else to validate them.
-
Keep moving when things are quiet.
-
Receive more money without immediately creating a reason to push it away.
-
Stay grounded when things are working.
-
Take bold action before she feels 100% ready.
-
Trust herself enough to stop collecting information and start creating.
This is the woman we build inside Release & Reclaim.
Because I don't want to help you create another business that requires you to override yourself to maintain it.
I want you to become the woman who can sustain the visibility, money, leadership, responsibility, rejection, success, and expansion that comes with the vision you have for your life.
That's the difference between knowing what to do...and actually becoming the woman who does it.
Here is what you can expect over the course of this program:
STEP 1
One of the reasons you haven’t achieved your goals is because you are trying to bypass where you are.
Phase 1 is about regulating. It’s about preparing the body to face what you have probably been exhausting yourself trying to avoid.
Shame. Guilt. Comparison. Fear. You name it.
Spiritual bypassing is not something you will find here.
Before we ask you to become someone new, we create the capacity to actually face what’s been keeping you stuck.
STEP 3
This is the phase where the veil has been lifted and the true version of you has started to shine.
From here, we rebuild YOUR VISION.
The one that’s been buried under all of the expectations of the world.
The one you’ve been afraid to admit you actually want.
The one that feels a little scary to say out loud.
This is where we get honest about what you actually want to build and why.
This is the fuel in the tank that will drive you to your goals.
STEP 2
One of the reasons you haven’t achieved your goals is because you are trying to bypass where you are.
Phase 1 is about regulating. It’s about preparing the body to face what you have probably been exhausting yourself trying to avoid.
Shame. Guilt. Comparison. Fear. You name it.
Spiritual bypassing is not something you will find here.
Before we ask you to become someone new, we create the capacity to actually face what’s been keeping you stuck.
STEP 4
Now we put it into action.
Not by overwhelming you, throwing you into panic, or forcing you into someone else’s version of what it means to build a business.
I will not force you to book a TED Talk if you are currently afraid to speak in public.That’s not the point.
The point of Release & Reclaim is to build your window of tolerance so you can become the woman who can hold more, be more visible, stand in her truth, and create something that belongs to her.
This is where we assess what you’re really good at, what you LOVE, what people need, and begin creating your business idea and brand concept.
Then we build from there.

1:1 coaching client
I started working with Melissa during one of the hardest seasons of my life — fighting breast cancer and going through chemotherapy.
She helped me create a clear, realistic action plan that gave me a sense of control and hope when I needed it most — all with compassion, patience, and zero judgment.
If you're looking for someone who understands trauma and helps you transform pain into purpose, she is absolutely life changing."
kelly
1:1 coaching client
"I was completely lost and unaware of what was happening in my body when i started working with melissa.
I was afraid of everything and full of anxiety.
Working with melissa helped me connect to all the stored emotions in my body and release them.
I learned how to set boundaries & regulate my nervous system
This changed my life"
jo
1:1 coaching client
“My coaching experience was indescribable. Working with Melissa felt like coming home
I met all versions of myself and all masks that I wore
I healed so many layers
I was able to start my business, set prices for my services and I stopped running from my power and started running towards it ”
Meet your coach
I'm not your average business coach.
I'm a certified health and life coach trained in trauma-informed work and breathwork training that foucses on nerosomatics and nervous system rewiring.
I am also the founder of Ash & Honey Retreats and an Identity Transformation Coach who has worked with dozens of women over the last few years and have witnessed my clients have life changing results.
I've also invested over $18k in various business coaching programs over the last three years
And here's the MOST important thiing that I learned: you can't think your way to sustainable expansion.
I know this because I lived it.
After hosting my first big retreat, I spent a week on my couch feeling like shit.
I'd "done the work." I'd built something meaningful.
I was making money. I was witnessing women transform through my work. I was watching my vision board come to LIFE
And yet my nervous system was sending an alarm bell (it was screaming "abort mission")
I know now that my body had not given me permission to expand to that level of visibility.
Despite being a woman who had been "professionally healing" for years....despite thousands of dollars and hours of consuming educational content, and despite building the most beautiful vision boards that I have hanging on my bedroom walls.....
I realized the problem most business coaches won't tell you:
Women don't fail because they lack strategy.
They fail because they're trying to expand beyond what their body feels safe receiving.
I see it everywhere.
Women bypassing the release.
Trying to force themselves into visibility, confident CEO-ness, and big success - without ever getting their nervous system on board.
And then they hit an invisible ceiling.
They self-sabotage.
They price themselves low.
They don't show up.
They burn out.
Because no amount of strategy can override a nervous system that's wired for threat.
That's why I built the Release & Reclaim container.
This isn't business coaching sprinkled with wellness.
It's the marriage of nervous system rewiring and real business strategy.
We work on the why you're blocked (the nervous system, the identity, the old beliefs living in your body) alongside the how (strategy, positioning, selling).
You get the secrets I've collected from $20k+ of business coaching.
But more importantly, you get the permission from your own body to actually receive it.
This work collapses time because you're not starting from a place of sabotage, doubt, and a nervous system that doesn't feel safe expanding.
You're rewiring as you build.
You're finally becoming the woman who can hold the business without bypassing where you are right now.
frequently asked questions:
Do you help me build my business?
Yes. Absolutely. We get clear on your personal mission, what you’re uniquely good at, what people actually need from you, and how to turn your vision into a business that feels like you. We’ll work on your brand, ideal client, messaging, offers, visibility, and most importantly, taking empowered action. But I’m not going to throw 99 pieces of paper at you and expect you to go into full launch mode if you’ve never even posted about your offer.
Because that’s not sustainable and will likely throw your nervous system in to survival mode. We start where you actually are, build your capacity for visibility, rejection, decision-making and selling, and then expand from there.
The goal isn't just to build the business.
It’s to build the woman who can confidently lead, grow, and hold it.
I am afraid it will not work for me.
I hear you. And I want you to sit with something for a second. That fear is your nervous system doing exactly what we are here to change.
It has kept you safe by keeping you small, and right now it is telling you that wanting more is dangerous. That is not the truth. That is a pattern.
Every woman who has transformed has stood exactly where you are standing right now, looking at the edge, unsure if she can jump.
The question is not whether this will work. It is whether you are done letting fear be the one making your decisions.
I do not have the money.
First, I want to be transparent. My first time investing in a business coach, I was terrified. It took a month to make a decision. What I learned looking back was that, it was less about the money and more fear that it wouldn't work for me, and that I would have wasted that money. Once I learned to trust myself to make it work, the decision became easier.
I am also aware that it is a big financial committment. Which is why I offer extended payment plans suited to your needs.
If money is the only thing stopping you, lets talk about how we can make this work.
My husband or spouse does not support me.
This one deserves a real conversation, not a dismissal. And also, I want you to notice what it means that someone else's opinion is the deciding factor in whether you invest in yourself. That is not a relationship problem. That is an identity problem. The woman you are becoming inside this container does not need external permission to choose herself. If your partner's support matters to you, bring them into the discovery call.
Let them hear what this actually is. But do not let someone else's comfort level with your growth be the reason you stay stuck.
I feel guilty spending this on myself.
That guilt is data. It is telling you exactly how far outside of your comfort zone it is to prioritize yourself — and that is precisely why you need this. The women in this container are not selfish. They are the ones who have given everything to everyone else and are finally learning that they cannot pour from empty. When you invest in becoming her, every single person around you benefits. Your kids, your partner, your clients, your community. The guilt is the old identity talking. Let's build a new one.
Life is really full right now. It does not feel like the right time.
It never will. I need you to hear that. There will always be a reason. A tough season, a family thing, a move, a transition. The women who wait for the right time are usually still waiting. And the women who says yes when it felt inconvenient are the ones who look back at this exact moment as the one YES that changed everything. This program is built with integration weeks and flexible support precisely because your life is full. Maybe you don't need more space. You need a container that helps you make space.
Let me DIY this for a little longer and see if I can figure it out.
How long have you been figuring it out? A year? Three? Five? I am not asking to shame you....I am asking because the definition of the loop you are in is trying the same approach and expecting a different result. Information is not your problem. You have plenty of it. What you are missing is integration, a regulated nervous system, and someone who can see what you cannot see about yourself. You can keep DIYing. Or you can decide that this is the year you actually get out of your own way.
I have tried coaching before and it did not work.
Because most coaching lives in the head. It gives you frameworks, accountability, strategy and none of that touches the nervous system. If your body does not feel safe expanding, no amount of mindset work is going to override it. What we do inside Release & Reclaim is different at the root. We are not just talking about your patterns, we are working in the body, in the beliefs, in the shadow, and in the identity all at once. If what you tried before did not work, it is probably because it was only addressing one piece of a much bigger picture.
I have done nervous system work and I still do not have my dream life.
Nervous system work alone is not enough. You can regulate your system and still be running the same outdated story about who you are and what you are allowed to have. Somatic practice without identity work leaves a gap and that gap is exactly where the dream keeps falling through. The Release & Reclaim Method works because it combines all of it. The body, the beliefs, the identity, the integration, the inspired action. One lane is not enough. That is why we use them all.
