CYCLICAL BUSINESS WOMAN: 🌀

BECAUSE YOUR BODY WASN'T DESIGNED FOR CONSTANT PRODUCTIVITY

Our bodies were never meant to produce at the same pace every day. By working with my NATURAL RHYTHMS instead of against them, I've discovered a sustainable way to run my business that actually feels good—one that keeps me WILDLY NOURISHED rather than constantly exhausted and burnt out.

This isn't about pushing harder—it's about ALIGNING WITH THE ENERGIES that naturally flow through me each month.

→ Follicular Phase (Spring) 🌱 Your creative energy rises naturally here! This is your time to breathe life into new visions with a body that feels increasingly ENERGIZED. Rather than pushing, allow your INNATE CREATIVITY to guide your business expansion. Embodiment: Connect with strengthening practices that feel nourishing - gentle awakening movements that honor your body's GROWING CAPACITY while keeping your nervous system regulated.

→ Ovulatory Phase (Summer) ☀️ Your natural RADIANCE shines without effort now! Your body knows how to connect authentically - trust this wisdom as you teach and share your gifts. Notice how opportunities ALIGN when you're simply being yourself. Embodiment: Explore movement that celebrates your expressive power - ecstatic dance and somatic practices that invite JOYFUL PRESENCE without depleting your energy reserves.

→ Luteal Phase (Autumn) 🍂 Your body's wisdom turns inward, inviting a beautiful REFINEMENT phase. Honor this shift by creating SPACIOUSNESS in your schedule while tending to the details that ground your business. Embodiment: Welcome gentle detoxifying practices and spiraling movements that support RELEASE without judgment, allowing your system to process and integrate.

→ Menstrual Phase (Winter) 🩸 This SACRED TIME of deep knowing arrives as a gift, not an inconvenience. Your body offers wisdom that strategic planning alone cannot access. LISTEN. REST. RECEIVE. Embodiment: Surrender to restorative practices like yin yoga and yoga nidra that create the SAFETY your nervous system needs to reveal your next aligned steps.

Remember, cyclical living isn't about perfectly matching each task to the 'right' phase—it's about developing a GENTLE AWARENESS of your body's natural rhythms and responding with compassion. There's NO FAILING at cyclical living; there's only the beautiful practice of NOTICING WHERE YOU ARE and honoring what your body needs in each moment.

This approach has created GENUINE FREEDOM in my life while keeping me wildly nourished. Freedom to explore wild places with my love. Freedom to be present with my three boys. Freedom to let my business BREATHE WITH ME rather than drain me. ✨

My income grows STEADILY AND ABUNDANTLY because I've stopped fighting against my own nature. This is TRUE PROSPERITY—not just financially, but in every sense. When I ALIGN WITH MY CYCLICAL NATURE, I create not just financial abundance, but also ENERGETIC WEALTH, creative fulfillment, and deep inner peace.

Your body isn't holding you back. It's SHOWING YOU THE WAY to the freedom and nourishment you've always wanted.

🍯 STOP EXHAUSTING YOURSELF fighting against your natural rhythms! You are WORTHY OF ABUNDANCE, nourishment, and true freedom in every aspect of life. If you're ready to return to your WILDLY NOURISHED SELF, my offerings create sacred spaces where feminine wisdom, natural healing, and everyday magic help you RECLAIM THE RHYTHM that's already flowing within you.

✨ Feeling called to realign with your natural rhythms? My "SACRED PAUSE" nervous system reset is the perfect container to come home to yourself this fall. This three-session journey over one month offers deep restoration, embodied healing, and gentle reconnection to your own wisdom and vitality. When we pause, we find our power. 🌀 Learn more here: https://www.sonjamelina.com/1monthreset

🌾 Can you feel it? That subtle shift in the air as August whispers its farewell? The sunlight holds a different quality now—golden, mellower—and evenings arrive with a gentle coolness that wasn't there just weeks ago.

Our bodies sense this transition before our minds can name it. Something is calling us to pause, to gather ourselves after summer's expansive energy, to prepare for the turning inward that approaches.

In this threshold space between seasons, I've created two new sacred containers to honor what your body already knows:

🍃💦 NEW WEEKLY CLASS: WILDLY NOURISHED Mondays | 10:15–11:15 AM | Wilkie Wellness Center in Lumsden

Start your week in soft devotion to your body. This morning ritual weaves nourishing movement, supported rest, and intuitive massage with wildcrafted oils—inviting you to return to your wild, replenished self.

First class: Monday, September 8 at 10:15 AM

🍂🌙 SACRED PAUSE: A Three-Session Journey of Return

Sometimes what we truly need isn't more effort — but a moment to stop. To feel. To recalibrate.

This month-long journey supports your nervous system in returning to safety and vitality through Thai massage, gentle somatic ta**ra, and personalized practices that create space for you to exhale and come home to yourself.

✨ What if your life was your practice?

Not just the hour on the mat.
Not just the full moon circle or the sacred retreat.
But this moment.
Right here.

The way you breathe.
The way you pour your tea.
The way you meet yourself — in the quiet, in the mess, in the in-between.

What if presence was the portal?
What if you didn’t need to do more… but feel more?
Soften more.
Trust more.

This is the heart of my work.
I support women in reclaiming their bodies, softening into presence, and transforming everyday moments into sacred rituals of love, truth, and wholeness.

Because life itself is holy.
And you are not separate from the sacred.

✨ One of the simplest, most powerful rituals I return to again and again:
Pause.
Place your hands on your body.
Breathe. Feel.

Sometimes in that pause, your whole energy gently realigns.
And suddenly the day begins to shift:

— You slow down and choose rest instead of pushing through.
— You spend time in nature, write in your journal, light a candle, or savor a warm bath.
— You speak a kind word to yourself… or simply sit in stillness.

This small pause becomes a powerful moment of choice —
a chance to meet your needs with kindness and presence.

This is the practice.
Your moment to reconnect, restore, and realign —
a gentle return to your radiant center.

Where you can trust the wisdom of your body to lead the way.

🌸 What might your body be inviting you to do right now?

🌸🌿 Holistic Ta**ra for the Wild-Hearted Woman 🌸🌿

This is your invitation to return—
to your body, your instincts, and your truth.
To restore your vitality and deepen the trust and relationship you have with yourself, from the inside out.
To embrace your wild “yes,” honor your clear “no,”
cultivate healthy boundaries, and lead a life that feels sacred.
To learn to listen deeply to your wild, wise body’s voice and live from a grounded, regulated place.
To feel whole at your core, gain clarity around your desires,
and communicate in ways that invite life—and your partner, if you have one—to meet you fully.
This work begins with you and naturally ripples into every area of your life.

Through Holistic Ta**ra, we unravel the layers, release what no longer serves,
and awaken the current within—
wild woman medicine in its purest form.

This is guided, embodied work—
where energy moves, emotion softens, and clarity rises.

Naturally you begin to feel more amazing in your body, alive and aligned with your wild feminine nature.

If you’re yearning for more aliveness, joy, and realignment, I’m here for you:

✨ Single sessions
✨ Deep 3-month 1:1 containers

🤎🌿✨ Deep Rooted Safety = Wild Surrender ✨🌿🤎

True trust begins within. When you feel deeply safe at your core, you naturally open, surrender, and flow with life, anchored in your center. This is the trust we long for—a grounded foundation paired with soft, receptive energy. Cultivating this energy through Ta**ra has been my healing journey over the last five years.

It’s essential to cultivate deep trust and safety within, as without it, we often default to control—tightening, hardening, and trying to manage everything around us. This blocks us from receiving the wild beauty and abundance life offers. Safety begins with trusting yourself deeply, in an embodied way. When we surrender, we create space for life to flow through us—opening the door to receive freely and fully.

So how do we shift from control to surrender? A simple Ta***ic practice I use every day is:

✨ Pause. Feel. Breathe. Move. ✨

• Pause: When a trigger arises, stop and turn inward. Notice what’s present without judgment.
• Feel: Allow the emotion to exist fully for 90 seconds. Where does it live in your body? Let it expand without resisting it.
• Breathe: Deepen your breath and allow sound to flow naturally—a sigh, a hum, a growl, or even a cry. Sound is a powerful tool to release and move energy.
• Move: Follow your body’s intuition. A gentle sway, shaking, or stillness—whatever feels right—can help you release what no longer serves.

I suggest using this practice as part of your morning ritual to set the tone for your day. You can also return to it throughout the day whenever you feel stuck or triggered. Through this process, you’ll uncover deeper truths within yourself. Emotions and sensations serve as powerful guides, leading you toward clarity, grounding you in your center, and creating a sense of expansive space. From this place, your energy naturally shifts, allowing you to move through your day with subtle shifts that will transform your life. 🌱

This practice is simple, but I know, having helped so many reconnect with their bodies and trust, how challenging it can be to drop into the body and fully surrender. If you need support, it would be my honour to hold space for you 🌞

“The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.”
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

Overflowing with Abundance as I Step into My Third Year of Devoted Ta**ra Study & Practice ✨

I began my Ta**ra practitioner training through 1:1 mentorship, later deepening into a group experience as the course evolved. This weekend, I received a beautiful surprise—an expanded curriculum with an even deeper focus on trauma healing. 🎉 Once again, I feel profoundly held by this sacred tradition. Over the moon excited!

What started as a one-year journey has unfolded into something far greater—an abundant, ever-expanding path that continues to flow into my life and work. When I first said yes to Ta**ra, I had no idea where it would lead. Studying privately with Chantelle Raven was a deep investment, both financially and energetically, yet I knew it would lay the foundation for my offerings and support my personal healing in ways I couldn’t yet see.

I’ll never forget my first session with Chantelle—she looked at me and said, “Ta**ra has called you, and it will hold you.” And it has. Ta**ra has become a strong anchor and a force of expansion beyond anything I could have imagined.

The very essence of Ta**ra speaks to its power:
✨ Tan—Instrument
✨ Tra—Expansion

Ta**ra is the instrument through which I expand. It continues to open new layers of self-awareness, healing, and transformation—both in my own life and in the lives of those I work with. I am endlessly grateful, and the magic just keeps deepening. 💫🔥

Overflowing with gratitude to the and as I step into another year of devotion—filling up to overflow into all the beautiful souls I have the honor of working with.
