What Clients Say

I would describe myself as a compassionate caring person who enjoys helping and inspiring other people but the one thing that I had neglected my whole life was my own self-worth. I am a 53-year-old mother who had just walked away from a 15-year relationship and I want to take stock of my life and reevaluate how I was living and what I had exempted in my life. I have recently become aware of the impact that sexism has had on my life and how it has prescribed what is expected of me — how I meant to dress, how to express myself, what I meant to look like, what size I’m allowed to be and how I should conduct myself sexually. I have been compliant, giving my power away. I decided now is my time for self-love, joys, passions and knowing my value/s.

Taking part in this course has truly been phenomenal and I cannot express the positive impact participating has made. This loving journey and the wonderful camaraderie of the group is absolutely stunning. Simple things like just gently stroking my hands and spending time with myself in a loving way (which I have never done before) has been profound. Giving myself tenderness through whole-body touching has made me realise how important self-love is and how healing self-touch can be. Working through what was coming up for us as women each week and having others really deeply listen and care has facilitated deep healing and connection.

The breathing techniques has given me a way of calming or relaxing myself and the theory-based work has given me understanding and the context to understand my reactions and behaviours which with Melanie’s wonderful one-to-one sessions has allowed me to access old patterns of behaviour and old recordings and create space for self-care, self-love and joy. I’m still the kind compassionate Jules I was before but I am not anxious and burnt out. I have learnt to check in with myself and check what I need before I respond to what other people want. I also have re-evaluated friendships in my life and decided to put some friendship on the back burner and have those close to me that value me for being true to myself and in my power.

I have had conversations in the past I would not have thought myself brave enough to have — with my ex, my family and my employer. I have clearly asked for what I need. I have even asked for a pay increase which I got! The world feels like a safer place where I can ask for what I need and have love, connection and fun without suppressing my wants.

I came to the course with a lot of shame around my body and my sexuality. I didn’t feel very comfortable in my own skin or in anyone seeing my skin and I felt very uncomfortable expressing myself sexually or in experiencing sexual pleasure. This has had a huge impact on every sexual relationship I’ve ever had and has been having a huge detriment on my life in general. I quite simply wanted to learn to love myself.

The course was extremely useful in ways I can’t fully express. All the conscious touch work was invaluable as I had never really given myself that much time and attention beforehand. It was incredible realising how much sensation there is even in my hands and the practices enabled me to work through some of my feelings of shame. The work on consent was really impactful and demonstrated to me the areas of my life where I have not been acting authentically in line with what I truly want and need. The power and strength I got from being in this extraordinary group of women was beyond anything I could have imagined.

The course has had a massive impact on my life more than beyond the relationship I have with my partner. The consent work has helped me speak up more about things I want and to say no to things I am not comfortable with in my everyday life with family, friends and colleagues. I’ve been able to have conversations with my partner about our sexual relationship that I would have shied away from in the past and our relationship is definitely better for it. Overall I am learning to love myself and my body much more and can’t thank Melanie enough for setting me on this path.

Before the course I was having a hard time accepting and loving myself, my looks, my body. I always had this pressure of ‘you have to look beautiful’. Always trying too hard otherwise people wouldn’t love me. I’ve been also struggling with standing for what I want and put my needs and desires first — always pleasing others because again otherwise people wouldn’t love me.

The whole process with Melanie was very subtle, enjoyable, gentle and yet deep and unleashing. I was able to create massive changes in my relationship with my partner — by setting clear boundaries and asking for what I really want, the whole dynamic of our relationship transformed into a more mature and loving relationship. The way I set up my business this year has a lot to do with this course too. Instead of acting from a place of fear of not being loved I am putting out in the world what I really want. And it works!

I am genuinely feeling way more comfortable in my own skin, wearing cool and sexy clothes in a super relaxed way because I like it, not to please anyone else. It was the best thing I’ve done for myself in a long time.

Before I did the programme I was quite reserved when it came to sexual expression and was more in my mind than in my body. I also found it difficult to move on from a past relationship and didn’t understand why.

I really enjoyed discovering myself and the other women on the course on a weekly basis. The themes around consent really helped to understand that I can change my mind and this freed me up from a past relationship. I managed to release the shame that I had stored around my ‘flower’ through my project where I was able to look at it and start to develop a liking for it. The intimacy in my relationship with my partner has really developed to the point where he started to also get freed up from shame and we could have more fun.

I got a contract that paid me a significant amount more than I have been on before. I can honestly say I can really now tell when I’m in my body and when I’m in the mind and that’s really helpful!

I wanted more freedom and appreciation about my body and my sexuality. Wanted to appreciate myself more and have more fun in life and expand my creativity.

My creativity has expanded in so many areas of my life through releasing stuck energy about my body and my sexuality, enjoying self-expression. It was enlightening and reassuring to be with other women realising our common concerns and constraints we put on ourselves. It was essential to get in touch with the humour of how much we judge and denigrate ourselves rather than appreciating how wonderful we are.

Melanie as course facilitator gently guided us, helping us to release fears in a loving way, bursting taboos about pleasure in all aspects of life. I’ve expanded my creativity and let go of concerns as this course has been part of a healing process. I’ve been able to deepen my compassion for myself and others, my friendships. I’ve gone bolder on my projects and in my business, asking for what we are worth.

Melanie makes the women’s group an amazing relaxed and often fun space. It’s a place of sharing within a safe container of like-minded women. Within the group we recognise we are all on our own unique journey of discovery. And each one of us can bring value and go at our own pace. We always have choice, which I love. And Melanie is a support should we need.

I have learnt much about boundaries. I have begun to make changes in all areas of my life. I now speak up and my no is much stronger. Through the many topics covered I am becoming more authentic and empowered (for me, not others) because I can recognise what my feminine embodied self needs.

I decided to work with Mel because although I was happy with my body, and able to have and enjoy sex, I felt that I had become disconnected — going through the motion with myself and with partners. I realised that the only way I really thought about my body was that it got me from A-B and allowed me to do sport, and the only time I thought about touch or how it felt was when there were aches and pains. I think I’ve always been a little scared of my femininity, not wanting ‘that’ sort of attention — I grew up a bit of a tomboy.

Doing the tantra sessions was a great way to ease myself into reconnecting with my body. I got so much out of working with Mel, I was able to create a different level of intimacy with my partner; more playful and experimental. I am less afraid of my feminine energy, letting my hips swing as I walk rather than my rigid march. I just feel freer, dancing and trying to learn how to twerk in the kitchen. I take more time to look at my body and my partner’s, exploring each other. I also enjoy exploring myself a lot more too, putting away my vibrator and re-learning my own sensual touch.

I can’t thank Melanie enough for her Thursday Conscious Touch class. It came at a time when I needed it the most, when I didn’t even know I needed it. I joined the class without really knowing what it was about — all I knew was that I was really missing hugs while sheltering in place alone during the pandemic, and this might help.

I had no idea Melanie’s class would end up having such a transformative impact in my life in ways I didn’t expect or imagine. She holds the space and guides the practice in such a magnificent way, making us feel comfortable to find and explore our own journeys, never pushing, always encouraging. I am also incredibly grateful for the wonderful group of people that take part in the class, sharing their experience with such honesty and vulnerability, opening their hearts and souls in a way that I’ve rarely experienced before.

I felt very lost, numb and alone and really didn’t know what I needed to do to find the connection and help I was searching for. I have tried other conventional therapies and medications but there was still something missing. That’s when I found Melanie.

I have been seeing Melanie for a while now and have been so amazed and delighted with the results. I’ve experienced a totally different human connection; one that has managed to reach into my heart and soul and awaken it. Even from the very first session I felt empowered and like someone had managed to see inside me and bring me out of my shell. I am really surprised at how quickly I was able to trust Melanie and see and feel the difference. It feels like my life will never be the same again.

There are no words to express my gratitude to Melanie and to experience a safe space where we can explore what I need together is life changing. I enjoy every minute of our sessions and they are always too short, but I feel so loved and cared for. I don’t think this a job you can do but it is definitely a calling and Melanie is born to do what she does. I was quite desperate when I came to see Melanie as nothing else had worked up to now. Melanie surpassed my greatest expectations and I will always be so grateful to her for saving me when nothing else worked. Melanie is the kindest and most generous person I have ever met. Her outlook on life and people is always kind and positive and she provides a nourishing space to heal and explore.

I instantly felt comfortable with Melanie to discuss personal experiences, fears and goals when it comes to conscious sexuality. From first session we did exercises that helped me deeply understand my behaviour, consent and personal boundaries. I highly recommend Melanie for whoever wants to embark on this journey in a safe space!

Melanie is incredibly experienced at holding space, felt in her effortless way to allow you to feel safe, which has built a very trusting tone to our sessions. I highly recommend her work to anyone who has felt ‘called’ to heal and work in an integrated way with sexuality and ‘the body’. Melanie’s personal study of tantric practise can be felt in its sacred understanding within the work, which brings the potential for healing to a deeper level.

Melanie is an incredible, powerful woman who embodies the practises she teaches with a gentle kindness and innate expertise. Her wisdom, compassion and deep knowledge create a powerful combination. Melanie is an amazing soul who is able to connect and transform with whatever topics you bring and offers a fun, deeply nourishing and life changing experience.

Melanie is one of the safest and empowering people I know. She helped me to explore the deep and intimate subject of sensuality, while also teaching me how to value myself, create personal space, understand true consent, and set boundaries. She is a brilliant coach, a sensitive and understanding educator, and an amazing woman. She lives what she teaches and her passion for freeing everyone to embrace their own sensual aliveness, is obvious and inspiring. Thank you Melanie, you have been a real gift in my life.

I started taking part right at the beginning of the Conscious Touch series during the lockdown. What I found out during this time was how much I was not connected to my own body. As time went on I learnt to just be with the moment of the touch and how it made me feel. I now practice this twice a week and the more I do it the more I become alive inside and outside.

I have to say I could not have done this without the trust and guidance of Melanie Knight. A very warm, personal and trusting guiding light. I would highly recommend this to everyone as this is not just about the pleasure — it’s also about the inner healing. I am very thankful for the experience and will continue to participate.

Mel is not only knowledgeable about the flow of energy through one’s body. She has magic hands to make it happen. I learned about the difference between giving and receiving and relaxing into her giving and me receiving. I felt like a feather floating on the wings of the wind after her massage. It was not only enjoyable but also a transformative experience.

I have to say that this was the best and most incredible massage experience that I have ever had, by a very long way. My experience of tantra is limited but it is clear to see that Melanie is knowledgeable, skilful and experienced. Two hours seemed to float by. It was an experience the like of which I have not had before, from breathing together before the massage, through intimate eye contact and massage touch that left me feeling like I was in a different world.

The massage was sensual and erotic without being sexual, giving the opportunity to be immersed within it without being goal focussed. It was truly a profound experience to treasure and one that I want to repeat to develop my understanding of my own body through the experience of Tantra.

Melanie has a passion for empowering men and women through sensual bodywork. She draws on her impressive experience in somatic work, tantra and sexual energy release to deliver sessions that are deeply impactful, insightful and pleasurable! I am blown away by the powerful transformation I have experienced with Conscious Sexuality in a matter of weeks through both Melanie’s group and couple sessions.

Melanie’s sessions are delivered in a welcoming, intimate and safe space to explore your sexuality. You are gently guided through meditation, breathwork and touch exercises. While the focus is to connect to yourself, you embark on a sensual journey that is graceful yet so potent and sure to impact your intimate relationships. From being so present to the body, I have developed heightened sensitivity and a profound grounding in my body that I did not even realise was possible! As a result, I gained a higher level of self-awareness and confidence that has caused beautiful ripples in my relationship with my life partner.
