Hey there!  My name is Melissa (she/her). I write and research on the topic of human sexuality in connection to spirituality, religion, and mental health. As a licensed therapist in NYC, I provide sex and relationship therapy to individuals, couples, and groups. (I'm currently accepting new clients - more info. here.)

​

Outside of clinical practice, I provide spiritual readings and guidance.​ I come from 5 generations of spiritual guides (or what some might call Shamans or brujos/brujas, depending on where you stand on the matter of individual gnosis) and healers. Despite my family history being fractured by colonization, migration, and loss, I continue my ancestors' work of helping people through my work as a modern-day healer, a.k.a., a therapist and the occasional spiritual consult.

​

Early on my spiritual path (adolescence - teens) I found my soul’s home and reawakened my cosmic memory in the house of the Hellenic Gods. I primarily practice what some call Hellenismos. Still, I continue to learn from Hinduism, Buddhism, and from my earthly, biological heritage I’ve been able to connect to Mayan and Native American spirituality. I have been writing/blogging about spirituality and sacred sex since 2013. At the time, these topics were rather occult. Since then, I've completed graduate school and launched my career as a sexologist.

​

The information you find here is meant to guide you regardless of your path; whether you’re a Hellenic polytheist like me, Buddhist, or anything else. You'll also find some of my creative works like poetry, fiction, and erotica. Welcome and I hope you find what you're looking for.
