It's the New Year and many of us are hitting the ground running seeking a better 2021! For this purpose, I invited veteran fitness instructor and health coach, Melanie Gillespie, to share her journey from reaching extreme fitness goals that led her to crashed adrenals and a broken mindset to taking time to do the inner work. She now enjoys a balanced mindset, a healthy body, and a health relationship with herself. Her story is all too familiar as we often seek to "run faster than we have strength" and to set goals from the ego, shame-based part of us rather than from our hearts and true self. Come learn how to set goals in a sustainable way that leads to you having success both mentally and physically.

Naomi walks us through what blocks our pleasure, and how to release these blocks embodied safety with a holistic perspective on human sexuality and relationship. Naomi teaches us how to be deeply present and curious with our sensuality to awakens parts of self that may have been cutoff or repressed and provides a practical approach to embodying your desire.
