A Full Moon Retreat for the Woman Ready to Remember Her Magic
The unbecoming:
✧ Reclaiming the witch within ✧
This is your invitation to return to your intuition,
your power, your magic—
the version of you that has always been there
just waiting to be remembered.
There’s a version of you who trusts herself fully.
Who moves intuitively.
Who creates her reality from alignment, not force.
She isn’t somewhere outside of you.
She’s underneath the noise.
The conditioning.
The fear.
This is your invitation.
under the illumination of the full moon in pisces,
(This is just not any Full Moon either—it’s a lunar eclipse!!!)
everything that is ready to be released begins to rise to the surface.
This retreat is where you meet her again.
Through subconscious hypnotherapy—Manifestation, ritual, earth connection, and deep sisterhood…
you’ll begin to release the layers that were never truly you.
This is the unbecoming.
For centuries, women have been disconnected from their intuition,
their magic
their voice.
This retreat is your return.
✧ WHO THIS RETREAT
IS FOR ✧
-
Sisterhood: The coven
You’re craving your people. Your coven.

You want to feel seen, understood, and held by women who get it—without explanation.You’re ready to:
✧ be witnessed in your truth
✧ connect in a way that feels safe
✧ receive support
✧ experience the kind of sisterhood that stays with you long after the retreat ends.

-
MAGIC ✧ Intuition
You feel the pull toward something deeper and you’re ready to explore it.
Maybe you’ve dabbled—or maybe you’re just curious.
But you know there’s more to intuition, manifestation, and magic than what you’ve been taught.You’re ready to:
✧ understand manifestation on a subconscious, energetic level
✧ work with the moon, nature, and plants as living medicine
✧ learn how to use crystals, tarot, and ritual in your own way
✧ trust your intuition instead of questioning it
This is where the “woo, woo” becomes your way of being.

-
Unbecoming
You’re ready to release who you’ve been told to be and step into who you truly are.
There’s a part of you that holds back.
That questions, doubts, and wonders if it’s safe to fully be seen.This retreat is for the woman who is ready to:
✧ move through the witch wound and subconscious fear of being fully expressed
✧ release limiting beliefs around her power, voice, and visibility
✧ step into a version of herself that feels free, intuitive, and fully embodied

PAST RETREAT VIBES ✧
✧Meet Your HOst
Hey Hey, I’m Melissa.
There was a time when I felt disconnected from myself—like I was living in a version of who I thought I was supposed to be, rather than who I truly was.
On the outside, everything looked fine. But internally, I felt the pull for something deeper… something more aligned, more intuitive, more me.
Before stepping into this work, I spent a decade as a nurse—supporting others in their healing, holding space in moments that required presence, care, and deep compassion. And while that chapter shaped me in profound ways, I began to feel called toward a different kind of healing, one that goes beyond the physical and into the subconscious, the emotional, and the energetic.
That pull led me into the work I now share—subconscious healing, hypnotherapy, nervous system regulation and reconnecting to the parts of ourselves that have been quieted, hidden, or forgotten. Returning home to you and remembering the magic inside.
The Unbecoming Retreat was created as a space for women to reconnect to their inner wisdom—without shame, without fear, without feeling like they have to hide the parts of themselves that feel curious, intuitive, weird or different.
A space to explore ritual, intuition, and the magic that has been practiced and shared across cultures for generations—now remembered in a way that feels grounded, safe, and your own.
A space where creating magic isn’t something outside of you…
but something you begin to feel within you.
This work is deeply personal to me. Because I’ve lived what it feels like to stay small to be accepted, to question my own intuition and feel disconnected from my voice and my body.
And I’ve also experienced what happens when you begin to shift that from the inside out. When you allow yourself to be seen, to take up space, and to trust your intuition.
This retreat was created to help you return to that place—
to shed what isn’t yours,
to remember who the f✧ck you came here to be,
and to awaken the magic that’s been waiting within you.
