Somatic Breathwork

Hi, I'm Mélanie - woman, mother, and creator. I let my heart, my curiosity, and my inner compass guide me through life. This has led me to many internal and external discoveries, profound teachings, and a connection to the magic that life holds. This wonderful journey inspires me anew every day and continually reveals more layers and levels.

For years, I have dedicated myself to practices that bring me closer to myself, to the greater whole, and to my way of navigating this life. I have listened attentively, received, and followed my intuition. I have learned to be truly at home in my body, to connect with myself and others, and to flow with the rhythms of life.

My path lies in experiencing and honoring the profound journey of our very human experience - with all its tenderness, beauty, rawness, and vulnerability - while weaving it with the vastness and wisdom of the mystical. It is in this constant dance of the seen and unseen that I find inspiration and truth. I walk this path with deep gratitude, care, trust, and a desire to be of service for more understanding, peace, freedom, love, and unity on this earth.

Beauty in all its forms plays an essential role in my life. Whether it's designing interiors, creating ceremonial settings, or breathing soul into spaces—my desire is to create harmony. I create spaces that feel nourishing and I bring the gift of perceiving subtle energies.

Dance and organic movement have always been important aspects of my life; they have awakened my sensuality and creativity and helped me navigate challenging times. Years of exploring womanhood, tantric love, lived experience in conscious relationship, sacred intimacy, and the feminine nature have deeply nourished me. I have been on a journey of discovery in this field with my partner for many years.

I am trained in Somatic Coaching for Women (www.somaticinstituteforwomen.com), as a Holistic Breathwork Coach & Breathwork Facilitator (400h, www.alchemyofbreath.com), in Kundalini Yoga (500h, www.imagineacademy.eu), and in leading Women's Circles (www.circleofwomen.com), along with various other trainings in the fields of womanhood, intimacy, and partnership that I have experienced over the last 15 years. As a certified Hypnobirthing instructor, I enjoy supporting women on their path to a conscious, more gentle birth. I am passionate about topics surrounding sensuality, conscious relationships, and the Tao & Tantric Arts—areas that can enrich my work with women and couples. It fills me with great joy to accompany women on their journey to remember their feminine essence, reconnect with their truth and creativity, and lead a life that is vibrant and authentic through mentoring, individual and couple sessions, and group spaces. Furthermore, nature is a great source of inspiration and always holds a special place in my heart.

Creating and living in a community house for nine years deepened my understanding of community structures and revealed both the fragile nature and the beauty of living together. In recent years, co-parenting—where we lived as a family under one roof but in separate apartments with our current partners—as well as living in a part time long-distance relationship, has strengthened my trust in what is possible when you make it possible.

My professional path began in my twenties as a travel agent, then as a project manager and consultant in cultural advertising, and later led to being an executive assistant in the cultural sector. I studied interior and color design and have created various locations, homes, and hideaways. Parallel to my role as a mother to an 11-year-old son and my personal journey, I became a co-owner and co-creator of a restaurant in 2011, Café des Amis in Zurich (www.desamis.ch), where I have been dedicated to aesthetics, finances, and human resources. I brought the same dedication to my second venue when I co-founded a club, Kauz (www.kauzig.ch), in 2013, where I was active for six years, including organizing numerous events and festivals. Together, these successful projects employ over 70 people. Today, I share the wealth of experience I have gathered on my life's journey.

We live in our community house in Zurich, but I am often on the move, enjoying the silence of the mountains or traveling and exploring the gifts of our earth or studying as a forever student of life.
