Grounded is a 3 Month Coaching mentorship that helps hopers, wishers and distracted doers ground the thing they’ve been dreaming.
AND We do it in a gentle, practical, trauma-informed way With a dash of woo woo too.
Though quick-fix short courses may be attractive at first glance the truth is building anything sustainably, with any degree of resiliency, takes time.
GROUNDED is a multi-disciplinary mentorship that helps serious performers move beyond the group training model to anchor not just anything but THE THING.
The thing you’ve been avoiding admitting.
The thing that feels too big, too complicated or too much.
The thing that you pretend you don’t have enough time for when really you know that there are a multitude of micro moves that you could take right here, right now, today.
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE WHO JOIN THIS EXPERIENCE:
The person who has something they want to offer but can’t seem to get to launch
The person who wants to be a confident, competent holder of sacred space and is looking for a mental, emotional and spiritual upgrade
HOW THE MENTORSHIP WORKS:
Each mentorship begins with a 12 week introductory period where we meet for 60 minutes once a week
Thereafter we have a formal action period where meet LIVE IN-PERSON on a 5 day 1:1 Coaching Retreat at a beautiful natural location wherever I am in the world (Namibia, South Africa or Bali).
Here you either:
- Complete your offering launch with me in real-time and/or
- Undergo a series of healing treatments, protocols and space-holding opportunities (if relevant) to more powerfully cultivate your spiritual awareness.There is on-going text support throughout the coaching period.
PARTICIPANTS WILL ALSO HAVE THE OPTION TO JOIN FOR WEEKLY TUESDAY BREATHWORK & LIGHT MEDITATION SESSIONS IN SANCTUM.
Here you receive the benefits of group practice in our diverse community of global practitioners as a complimentary gift for the duration of your Grounded Mentorship.
The 12 Week Introduction
During this period we get crystal clear on the scope of the project that we’ll be grounding. We set targets and SIMPLE weekly critical actions for the 12 week period that will help you get to goal.
We also assess the state of your lifestyle, nervous system, mental models and other supporting resources to make sure that we’re moving in a way that’s both sustainable and enjoyable.
Our Weekly Calls:
Each of our classes differs depending on your goals, needs and the critical tasks of that month.
In some sessions you create content - record audios, write sales copy or review your targets for the period and Mel does this with you LIVE on the call.
In others, Mel might guide you through breathwork, somatics, dance, meditation, source field activation, energy healing, or you might teach a class for her to critique and review.
We customize our content with a range of modalities in realtime as real life offers its very real challenges.
More specifically, during our calls:
We get total clarity on the thing you’ve been avoiding grounding (and no it’s not because you don’t have enough time).
We unpack, uproot and dissolve the mental-emotional and physical barriers to grounding the thing. Together we gain more insight into your personal and professional goals in general.
We assess your lifestyle, support systems, nervous system resiliency, mental models and systems for living
We have regular healing sessions that include breathwork energy work, mindfulness, meditation, TRE, EFT, Jin Shin Jyutsu, trauma release through dance, somatics, yoga, Tantra, sacred sexuality, somatic experiencing, nervous system regulation, coaching, ritual Bhakti yoga and Kirtan.
We discover the best ways of working given your inherent nature (it’s not necessary to become an instagram influencer or kill yourself at a 9-5).
For facilitators and teachers in training we alternate between science-based mentorship on the modality of your choice and sharing detailed feedback on your healing arts classes, programs, pricing, session safety protocols and teaching styles.
Where necessary, I also hand-hold you through content development (blocked clients can record audios, videos and write sales copy etc in realtime on our calls - you also receive templates and AI prompts for everything you want to do).
On Retreat
We make sure that we’ve achieved everything we set out to do.
Held by the healing naturscapes of SA, Nam or Bali, together we’ll fill gaps and action through any blocks that you may not have been able to resolve on your own or at a distance.
The retreat will include beautiful, curated healing experiences, tons of down-time as well as personal treatments and mentorship with Mel.
