I have something so special to share that I was a part of last month.

In this evocative episode of Inclusive Justice: A Sacred Call to Action, co-host Reverend John Marc Ormechea (they/them) speaks with Alexz Srock (she/her), massage therapist, Reiki practitioner, and founder of MELT (Musculoskeletal Euphoric Liminal Treatment). Together, they explore embodied healing, ancestral care, and reclaiming sacred practices in a world that too often neglects the needs of the body and spirit.
Through deeply personal storytelling, Alexz shares her journey from professional dance and orthopedic massage to energy work and spiritual careโincluding becoming a psychopomp for her grandmother in a powerful moment of transition. They discuss the intersection of justice, trauma, and holistic healing, highlighting how touch, movement, and intentional presence can be revolutionary forms of care.
Highlights include:
What it means to give โconsent to healโ and why that matters in sacred and therapeutic spaces
Grief as an embodied process and how ancestral work can create profound transformation
Creating safe, inclusive, and energetically clean spaces for q***r, trans, and chronically ill clients
Insights from Alexzโs coven work, including spiritual community building, mutual aid, and energy hygiene
How performance, body awareness, and movement inform spiritual intelligence and healing magic
This episode is an invitation to reclaim your healing, tap into liminal space, and root into the wisdom of your body and spirit. Alexzโs approach is equal parts practical and magicalโgrounded in ethics, awareness, and deep care.
