Private Sessions with Melissa Geiger, M.A.
Reclaim Your Power.
Reveal Your Potential.
Reawaken Your Radiance.
Each of the trials that we face can overwhelm us to the point of shutting down, or they can inspire us to step into new levels of resourcefulness and resilience. I help women discover new depths of resilience through cultivating inner resources, clearing unconscious blocks, and recovering their voice and power.
I hold a Masters degree in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. My clinical background includes training in Gestalt, Hakomi, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and a number of other modalities that honor the somatic and spiritual dimensions of the transformative process. My work is a synthesis of these different approaches.
The heart of my work is about resourcing—helping you recover a strong connection to the source of your vitality, power and creativity.
Together, we bring focused, compassionate care to the parts of your life that are not working. I help you develop skillful ways of shifting out of emotional reactivity and into compassionate, grounded responsiveness.
“Melissa holds a really sacred space for anyone sifting through their emotions. With her I am inspired to really go deeper and search out the clarity that is so important in these times.”
~Cassie Champagne Maui, Hawaii

Supporting Mamas-to-Be 
One form of work that I am especially passionate about is supporting women through their passage into motherhood. Becoming a mother is a profound transformation that involves a loss of your old identity and life, and the birth of a new way of being in the world.
In my work with mothers-to-be, we focus on
- honoring the sacredness of this rite of passage
- nourishing, nurturing & grounding yourself during pregnancy
- preparing for the post-partum changes your body, soul and relationships will undergo
- cultivating a strong sense of community around you
- stepping into motherhood with strength, grace and support
“Melissa was such an angel during my pregnancy and during my postpartum time. I was in a rough spot during my transition to motherhood. Her sweet, nurturing presence helped smooth the way for me. Through her listening ear, warm wisdom and experience, and her swift helpful actions, I felt honored and cared for in this important initiation.”
~ Jaya Sat Kriya

Melissa Geiger, M.A.
My work is rooted in a deep love for the natural beauty and integrity that unfolds when our bodies and souls are truly nourished. I am passionate about supporting women in realizing new depths of radiance, resilience and resourcefulness.
I have a Masters degree in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. My clinical background includes training in Gestalt, Hakomi, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and a number of other modalities that honor the somatic and spiritual dimensions of the transformative process. My work is also informed by my background in insight meditation, yoga, Aikido and vision questing.
Over the years, I’ve had the honor of working closely with women elders who have kept alive the healing practices and prayer lines of indigenous cultures. The lessons I have learned from these wise and strong women are woven into my work and into the very fabric of my being.
My writing, teaching and counseling are a synthesis of everything I’ve learned from these different approaches to healing and transformation.
You can read my recent blog posts here and you can also find me on Facebook. I would love to connect.
