Before You Book

Questions about the deeper work.

Questions about the deeper work.

Honest answers about safety, what to expect, and who these sessions are for.

Is Kambo safe?

Kambo is intense but, with proper screening and facilitation, well tolerated by most healthy adults. Melissa is a trained facilitator and reviews your health history before any ceremony. Certain conditions, medications, and pregnancy can rule it out, which is exactly why every client is screened personally first. Nothing is booked until she has confirmed it is safe for you.

What happens in a breathwork session?

Breathwork is a broad term. It covers everything from slow, calming techniques like box breathing to more active styles like Wim Hof and holotropic work. Melissa is certified in Somatic Release Breathwork, an active, connected breathing pattern that moves stored tension out of the nervous system. In a session you lie down, she guides the pace and the music, and the body does the rest. People often feel tingling, emotion, or deep release. There is no right way to experience it, and you stay in control the whole time.

Do I need any experience for sound healing or cacao?

No. These sessions are open to complete beginners. You do not need to meditate, believe anything specific, or prepare in any way. Ceremonial cacao is not a psychedelic either, so you stay fully present and in control the whole time. You show up, get comfortable, and let the experience meet you where you are.

Why is there a consultation before booking?

These are deeper sessions, and the right fit matters. A short conversation first lets Melissa understand what you are looking for, answer your questions, and make sure the work is safe and appropriate for you. It also means you walk in already knowing what to expect.
