If my talk about goddess Sekhmet in the upcoming group Sekhem activation has created some confusion around what the activation is about, like some sort of cult 😂… consider this:

Gods and goddesses are personifications of divine cosmic forces.

They're given human traits so our minds can better relate to the unknown powers of the universe, the world around us and our human selves.

They are tools for the psyche, body and soul to navigate life's struggles consciously, helping us grow and evolve.

They aren't authorities above us but reminders of fundamental life principles.

As you might know, they usually have stories.

Stories about challenges they've faced, how they found their way out and how they grew.

Sometimes these stories may sound far-fetched but they're crafted so our minds can recognise, remember and renew the metaphor, mirroring our own lives.

What they've been through is what we're going through now.

They've faced challenges and found ways to overcome them, such as; through letting go, embracing, discovering tools or finding inner strength.

We can connect with them to guide us out at times of struggle.

They initiate, give messages and complement healing during challenging times.

I can't wait to share Goddess Sekhmet's story in our upcoming Group Sekhem Activation.

Sekhem, in ancient Egypt, means “the power” or “universal life force energy.”

It aligns with goddess Sekhmet, a lioness-headed woman who embodies the archetype of healing, strength, protection, war and destruction.

These are the frequencies you'll work with!

Believe in this or not, I invite you to feel into the metaphor I’ll be sharing and her mirror reflecting the spiral of womanhood so you don't have to feel alone!

Your thoughts, environment, unwanted experiences and illnesses first impact your energetic body (your energy field, chakras and meridians) before manifesting in your physical body.

Energetic hygiene can be just as important as physical hygiene!

Do you need to care for your energetic self? What’s stuck in your energetic system that needs a good clearing?

And perhaps you need a change of environment after a busy week as you enter a new one?

If you’re feeling the call, I have a Group Sekhem Activation coming up on March 22nd from 3-5 pm.

Sekhem, in ancient Egypt, means “the power” or “universal life force energy” similar to Reiki and Kundalini.

In this group session with like-hearted souls, you’ll receive Sekhem to clear any blockages, balance your energy & regulate your nervous system, so you can feel grounded, gain clarity and reset, plus more!

Comment below, DM me, or go to the link in my bio for more details and bookings!

Is Egyptian Sekhem Healing culturally appropriate? That’s like asking if someone practicing Reiki is culturally appropriate!

I’ve been attuned to Sekhem by a native Egyptian, similar to how someone practicing Reiki is attuned to it.

Sekhem comes with attunement, not a passport.

It’s not theft.

I respect, appreciate and acknowledge its roots, my studies and my lineage, focusing on healing.

Like Reiki, it’s a modern interpretation of older, lost practices, adapted for today’s society to benefit from.

It’s about reconnecting to something that’s been hidden and missing.

Anyone who has been to Egypt would notice that the ancient Egyptians built what they did to tell their story to us today.

We even learn about it in school!

They want us to connect with them and learn their ways.

When you immerse yourself in their temples, their hieroglyphics speak to and support your psyche, body and soul, activating their spell within.

It definitely did with me anyway!

If you’re feeling the call, I have a group Sekhem activation coming up on Sunday, March 22nd, from 3-5 pm.

See below for event link.

The sacred wisdom of the ancients awaits you!

I experienced a bit of shame & guilt for a while when my back flared up.

I felt ashamed & guilty because I am a facilitator of feminine healing arts, living a mostly devotional life, yet I had an unexplained, debilitating and painful back!

The very thing I sometimes support other women with.

Well the facilitator mask had to come off.

I affirmed to myself that I’m human, living a human experience and reacting in a normal human way.

The light and dark, the ups and downs of life, are normal as life is a spiral.

Being human means experiencing a tapestry of emotions, just like Mother Earth with her tapestry of weather.

Healing doesn’t mean being at a perfect equilibrium forever.

It’s about being aware when you’re not in your natural state and embodying the tools, practices and rituals that help you reset and return home to yourself.

Now that I’ve experienced this, I’m able to turn that pain into power and dark into light.

It’s been a portal to healing.

No text book learning.

An opportunity for inner work to grow and expand into the next evolution of myself.

And a deeper understanding and compassion for other women going through the same too.

P.S. I’m back doing Womb Hara massage & Sekhem healing. I also have a group Sekhem activation coming up on the 22nd March, 3-5 (only 4 spaces left!). Dm me for more details & bookings.

Well… I definitely feel like I’ve journeyed with the year of the snake!

I was living my best life until a couple of weeks ago.

I woke up barely able to move because my back was a tight ball of tension!

I experienced back spasms and gasped for air with sudden movements, accompanied by a lot of crying and very slow, cautious walking.

I had to go back to the beginning, where I could barely walk or even dress myself. I almost couldn’t wipe myself either! I needed assistance which I’ve always found hard receiving let alone asking for.

Massive thanks to friends, family, clients & strangers that have helped!

Now, as I ascend, I realise how it’s been like the cycle of the snake.

It felt like my death. A shedding of my skin. A shedding of my old habits and limits. Making way for a new me.

A transformation.

It’s been soft, slow, fluid, snake movement that has helped free my back.

And today, in acupuncture (my sixth session in less than two weeks!), I felt this energy start at my feet and move up my legs and spine like a snake.

It’s like I was going up and down a rollar coaster!

Shakti rising!

Hello, caduceus!

All the blocked, stagnant energy is starting to dispel and flow again. (Maybe I’ve been sitting and watching too much Netflix this year 😂)

Acupuncture is reiki with needles.

I have a newfound appreciation for the basics in life that I had been taking for granted.

I’ve been forced to slow down and reflect on my priorities and what truly matters, gaining a new perspective on complexities. Or what I believe to be complex that aren’t really.

Regaining my strength, balance & flexibility within my physical body and remembering that this is what carries my soul through life. It needs to be prioritised and looked after.

And ebbs are part of being human!

I’m living a human experience.

And I’m very proud of myself but I don’t want to speak too soon (my pattern is to rush my healing!), but I’m recovering a lot quicker than I did when I experienced the same issue with my back at 27!

I have a newfound belief in myself, in complementary therapies and the energy work that I do!

10 days ago, my back caved in on me. The last time that happened was 15 years ago when I was 27. I sneezed and was out for three weeks!

I've had chronic lower back pain since I was 16.

I've tweaked it here and there over the years, worse during my pregnancies and motherhood.

Even when it would dissipate, I could always feel it lingering.

I can’t count how many times I fell off a horse when I was younger. Were those accidents the start of it?

Or maybe it was when I nearly drowned at 13, caught in a rip at Back Beach, gripping onto life like never before and believed I was going to die. Parts of my soul definitely left my body that day.

I also notice it tweaks a lot before my period (yes, I understand hormones) and when I feel resentment toward the feminine and misunderstood (working on it!)

The strength of my core muscles play an important role too (working on that too!).

I don’t know the exact root cause yet (will I ever?), but last weekend was a massive initiation in deepening my journey as a human, woman, mother and facilitator.

Before last Saturday night at the Wild Village Festival, I had on and off back pain for a month.

I had been getting acupuncture (like Reiki but with needles) and osteopathy (yoga on steroids), but the long drive, cold weather and getting my period didn’t help.

That Saturday night, I woke up barely able to move. Back spasms, gasping for air with sudden movements and a lot of crying.

I’m so grateful for going to SkyBox Studio these past couple of years! Without the strength in my legs and arms, I believe I wouldn’t be able to move at all.

I’m also incredibly grateful for my friends, clients and strangers who supported me in ways I never thought possible.

Now my faith in the feminine being there when needed has been restored even more.

My bestie Kristy even pointed out how fast I was walking on Saturday and told me to slow down, well, I definitely did on Sunday! Maybe that’s the root cause too.

I had to leave my car in Perth and fly home, being pushed in a wheelchair through the airport! I admit accepting that level of help was a challenge! And I rejected it when I landed in Geraldton as I was trying to be all powerful and egocentric.

I know people with a spiritual psychosis reading this might have a field day with unsolicited advice, opinions and diagnoses.

But I don’t consent to that.

I’m in full control and responsible for my healing journey.

That said, my spirituality has definitely provided support, insight and awakenings.

My physical body is communicating with me.

I see this as an opportunity for a massive reset, a deeper perspective on my life and brought back down to earth even more.

I’ve pretty much had to go back to the beginning of life where I couldn’t walk and dress myself. I almost couldn’t wipe myself either but I got there! (Thanks again, Kristy, while she didn’t have to go that far with wiping me, she was prepared to and did have to help at times with my menstrual hygiene!)

As I recover, I must say I’m improving much quicker than I did at 27! Yay!

This gives me so much belief in myself, my body and complementary therapy.

Here’s what’s been helping me so far:

- Acupuncture (twice a week)
- Moxibustion daily (I’m doing this myself)
- Self-Sekhem, the Egyptian version of Reiki, connecting with Goddess Sekhmet, the goddess of healing, strength, protection and eradication
- Massage (thanks Cath from Mindful Body)
- TENS machine
- Magnesium Cream ( Thanks MelissaMade with Love )
- Tinderbox Plant Power body rub
- Balance between rest and movement
- Reading
- Homeopathy
- Guilt-free support around the house from Sam
- Happy Back program (on day four now and loving it; it feels designed specifically for my back!)

I’m also going to see a reputable Chiro in a couple of days to give me more insight into what’s actually physically going on with my back.

Going to take up Pilates too. Goodbye any yoga classes with too much forward folding!

I’ve made the tough decision to take time off Womb Hara massage until February when my core muscles are stronger and my back less tense. Shedding a tear now!

I had my first Sekhem Healing client today and it was awesome. Not a problem at all since I can stand straight the whole time! I would have rescheduled if I didn’t think I could do it. I finished on a high so that’s a sign it’s a yes.

I’m still taking it slow though and just being with what is.

I’m sure there’s a lot more to say, but that’s all for now and my stream of consciousness!

Stay human! And take care of your back and physical body. It’s what is carrying your soul through this life.

❤ Melissa

This beautiful soul had been on a fertility journey for well over a year and when she discovered Womb Hara massage, she was very devoted to receiving it consistently, following the recommendation of once a month between post-bleed and before ovulation.

She was so devoted that I felt bad about going away on holiday when her next massage was due, but she didn’t need it!

See the image!

She received this positive test after her third massage.

I understand that some women on a fertility journey may come for a one-off experience to truly nurture themselves after everything they’re going through, allowing them to relax, release and reset.

However, I can’t stress enough the importance of consistency for the women who want the Womb Hara massage to potentially enhace their fertility.

So if you’re on a fertility journey, I highly recommend receiving this massage once a month between post-bleed and before ovulation.

That said, I believe in self responsibility and never pressure anyone to come back; I leave it up to them to book.

I also don’t want to take all the credit for this client! She made the decisions and had other support and factors contributing to her journey, but she does tell me that she believes the massage was a huge part of it.

I don’t promise any guarantees and I understand that every woman is unique, with her journey based on her individuality.

If you would like to delve deeper into supporting your fertility journey, I invite you to a Womb Hara Massage or Sekhem Healing.

Please reach out for more details!

Our Story

About Me

My name is Melissa Ayling and I am an award-winning Hypnobirthing Australia™ practitioner. I am also a retreat leader, birth doula, postnatal doula, reiki practitioner, meditation therapist, and holistic counsellor. I am certified in aromatherapy for birth workers and–most importantly—the proud mum to two hypnobirthed boys!

I love the work I do because it lets me be a proud advocate for mothers and women everywhere, every day.

My story and why I do this work

I want you to know that I was never so positive and passionate about birth as I am today.

You see, hypnobirthing gave me back my confidence after a devastating miscarriage. Afraid to connect with my baby the next time I conceived, I felt anything but excited and positive.

Through hypnobirthing, I learned to lead with my instincts, not my fears, and the tools and techniques brought happiness and confidence back into my pregnancy.

Learning the powerful mind-body connection completely changed not only my birthing experience but my entire life. I couldn’t keep the knowledge to myself. I wanted to shout it from the rooftops!

And so, you could say that my calling was conceived in my darkest hour.

Now, I help others think and feel positive too by helping them to relax and trust their bodies, able to enjoy the miracle of pregnancy and birth.

And so here’s my message to you, one mama to another…

Birth is miraculous and so are you.

My desire is to help women be at the centre of their birth journey. This begins with the right education about birth, what’s actually involved, and a deep understanding of what the body is designed to do.

With this knowledge, you will be empowered to make the choices that are right for you and your baby. And you will be prepared to approach your journey with confidence and calm no matter what path it takes. You see, we cannot control birth, but we can control our perspective, our thoughts and feelings, and our belief systems.

Our culture—especially the media—would have us believe birth is something negative and full of suffering. There is also shame associated with how we do or do not choose to birth and how our births turn out.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, it wasn’t always this way.

My job is to guide you back to the right knowledge and wisdom. Let me show you how.

Hypnobirthing Australia™ is a state-of-the-art childbirth education program that showcases labour and what to expect during birth in a positive way.

Using everything from science to ancient wisdom, hypnobirthing helps parents-to-be to rise above any unnecessary doubts, anxieties or even fears surrounding birth. It prepares a mother with the positive mindset, tools & techniques and good support that she needs to birth with calmness, positivity and confidence.

Which means? No matter what path your birth journey takes – from a natural hospital birth to an induction birth to a caesarean birth to a cozy home birth – hypnobirthing can help you to have the best birth possible.

It is a great foundation for positive parenting and can add the benefits of improved sleep during pregnancy, a strengthened bond with birth partners, better breastfeeding outcomes and a reduced risk of postnatal depression.
