Melanie Phillips 100 hr Ayurvedic Yoga Training, Inner Empowerment Mentorship, Energy Healing, Spiritual Mentorship, Ayurveda literally means the knowledge and wisdom of life.

It is the healing system of India, sometimes referred to as the mother of all healing. It originated in India over 5,000 years ago and is still being used today. Ayurveda views health and disease as the end result of how we interact with the world, in terms of our beliefs, perceptions, thoughts and feelings, which then ultimately determine our actions. Actions in harmony with our inner nature create health, while those dis-harmonious with our inner nature create disease. Ayurveda is the science of developing greater harmony with our environment through all of our senses. Ayurveda assists the body in journeying back to optimal health by balancing the five elements in the body and mind through the use of herbs, diet, colors, aromas, lifestyle changes, yoga, and meditation along with other five sense therapies.

Something has been pulsing in my field…

A knowing that it’s time to gather a small circle of women, not many, just three, whose next level isn’t a strategy… It’s a frequency they’re finally ready to live in.

So here it is.

Jan 30 – Feb 3, 2026
A five-night, bespoke, high-touch retreat on Costa Rica’s pristine, untouched coastline. The kind of place you don’t find on Google, only through invitation and intuition.

This is where we’ll sink into our mornings together:
Movement that wakes the parts of you you’ve forgotten.
Breath that opens your chest like a prayer.
Energy work that rearranges your whole internal architecture.

You’ll be held in a way you’ve likely never let yourself be held…
with exquisite, soul-nourishing food prepared just for us,
with massages that melt you past your edges,
with swims in the warm Pacific where you can hear your own soul again.

And in between all of that beauty?

Me, with eyes on your blindspots,
activating your energy,
heart on your life,
seeing the version of you that you’ve been too close to notice.

This isn’t a retreat you “learn” from.
It’s a luxury experience that rewires you.

Identity, wealth, love, self-trust, visibility; whatever realm you are ready to expand... this week becomes the catalyst.

A place where the woman you’ve been becomes too small, and the woman you’re becoming walks in fully.

If reading this made your heart spark, this is for you…send me a message and we’ll explore if this is for you.

Three women.
One hidden coastline.
A new timeline awaits.

You don’t sit around saying,
“I need to learn how to receive more.”

Nobody does.

At 3 AM, when your heart’s racing and you’re staring at the ceiling, you’re not thinking,
“How can I soften and let more of life in?”

You’re thinking about money.
About the conversation you wish you handled differently.
About the thing that still isn’t happening.

You’re strategizing.

You’re planning.

You’re trying to mind-manage your way into the life you want.

Because your brain tells you:
If I just figure it out… if I just try harder… if I just fix this one piece… THEN I’ll feel safe. Then I’ll have what I want.

But here’s what I’ve learned; through heartbreak, through loss, through rebuilding myself when everything felt impossible:

The things we want the most, the money, the love, the vitality, are not unlocked through more strategy.

They open when we learn how to receive.

Not as a concept.
Not as a “be more feminine and surrender” meme.

But as a frequency in your body.

And I know, you’re soulful, intuitive, wildly devoted to growth.

And still…
There’s a part of you that doubts your desires are safe.

A part of you that whispers:
What if it doesn’t happen for me?

That part that believes to have more you’ll need to:
→ give up time with your family
→ sacrifice rest
→ push harder
→ be “better” somehow

But that’s an illusion.

The divine doesn’t ask you to hustle for what’s yours.

You don’t earn your desires.

You allow them.

You let yourself be met.

You learn to open where you usually tighten.
Exhale where you usually brace.
Receive where you usually over-give.

This is about shifting from:

“I have to make it happen”
to
“I allow it in.”

Receiving isn’t passive.
It’s power.

When you know how to receive…

Life starts showing up for you.

Support appears.
Opportunities find you.
Money feels… easier.

You become a match for the life you’ve been trying to build.

If you’re ready to feel this in your nervous system as a lived cellular experience…

RECEIVE
is for you.

11/08/2025

The hazy afternoon sun was pouring through the windows that day,
the day I never wanted to live, yet have replayed a million times in my mind.

People kept arriving in steady streams.
They came to offer condolences to me and to his family.

A funeral before we even knew he was dead.
Absurd. Surreal.

But there I was, standing upright, greeting both friends and strangers with eyes swollen from crying, receiving hundreds of hands pressed into mine.
An endless line of bodies, one after the next.

Every gaze felt like a projection: some pity, some horror, some discomfort they tried to mask.
I was trying to keep my own heart from breaking entirely.

The days that followed moved in slow motion, like time had thickened into molasses.
Just getting through a single sunrise felt excruciating.

At some point, I surrendered.
Not in a graceful, spiritual way,
more like collapsing into the arms of life.

And then… support came.

I hated it.

I felt humiliated to receive anything, especially money.
Two friends handed me cash so I could get energy healing.
Someone set up a donation link for me.
Colleagues offered sessions.
One friend dropped off a quiche.
Another placed Thai food on my doorstep.
Someone else drove me all over town looking for a cheaper place to live because I couldn’t afford our apartment.

But after a while, after a “reasonable” amount of time and healing had gone by, I closed again. Returned to being my independent self.
Made sure I gave-gave-gave, as though life was keeping score (and as I learned, some people were, so I made sure I was never a burden, never “in need”).

But when this becomes an identity, we close the world off.
We close off from the divine.

To receive is not an indulgence.
It’s a holy practice. An act of surrender, and ultimately, an act of giving.

When you’re ready to receive the way your soul was designed to…

11/07/2025

I often receive intuitive downloads in the quiet places; when I’m walking without a destination, or letting the water wash over me in the shower, or drifting between sleep and waking.

A few weeks ago, I heard it clearly:
“Your problem is you don’t know how to receive.”

It landed like a truth I’d been avoiding.

For so much of my life, I wore independence like armor. I prided myself on being capable, resourceful, self-sufficient.

But under that?

I didn’t actually know how to let anything in.
Not support. Not love (not the kind I really wanted). And definitely not money.

I used to date men who needed rescuing, not partnership. They lived in sheds or in their car in a Walmart parking lot (true stories).

I’d tense when a friend offered to buy me a tea, then immediately try to even the score.

When it came to my work, I discounted myself. I gave things away. I called it generosity, but often, it was fear.

Fear that if I received, I’d owe something.
That I’d lose control.
That I didn’t deserve it unless I worked hard for it.

Maybe you know this feeling too.

Being the one who holds everyone else through their storms…but doesn’t know how to ask for help. Working harder instead of letting life hold you.

Trying to “heal” by adding more or desperately trying to figure it all out, instead of softening into support.

Eventually, I had to face the truth:
I wasn’t allowing myself to receive.

And of course, resentment showed up.
Exhaustion. That quiet ache of feeling unseen.

Because when we won’t let ourselves receive…
we don’t let life support us.

If you feel this in your bones, I made something for you.

RECEIVE.
A 5-week sacred portal into the art of allowing.
Where we soften the part of you that only knows how to give and awaken the part that remembers how to let it all in.

Doors are open.
Early bird is available for a few more days.

Comment RECEIVE below and I’ll DM you the deets.
You don’t have to earn what you want.
You just have to let it in.

11/05/2025

Tonight, as the luminous face of the moon rises in the sky, we’re being invited into something sacred. The big, bold Full Moon in Ta**us is here and it’s not subtle. It’s the super-moon of the year: closest to Earth, brightest in her cycle, amplifying what’s ready to emerge.
With the Moon in Ta**us, the themes are rich: value, worth, roots, resources, and the body.

Ta**us wants slow. She wants sensual. She wants the real, tangible feeling of “I belong in this body, I deserve this ease, I honour what I’ve built.”

Tonight her light is shining on what you’ve gathered inside: emotional, spiritual, material, and asks: “Is this yours? Is this aligned? Do you want to keep it or let it go?”

In Vedic astrology (Jyotish), the Moon speaks directly to the mind, to our emotional body, our inner rhythm. When the Moon finds a stable, wealthy-loving sign like Ta**us, there’s an opportunity to exalt the mind. To turn the internal judge into an internal ally.

So tonight, consider this: the lunar light is a mirror. In that mirror, you don’t just see what you have you see what you’ve hidden. What part of you has been earning your love, and what part has been endlessly serving others seeking theirs?

Your invitation:

Light some candles, invite stillness, and ask: “What have I built that truly reflects me? What have I built because someone required it?”

Release. If there are roots that no longer feel rooted... beliefs, contracts, roles, comforts, tonight they can be seen, honoured, and let go.

Affirm: “I stand in my value. My worth is not hinged on proving, it’s anchored in being.”

May this Full Moon ignite your inner harvest. May you harvest bounty not only in monetary form, but in joy, presence, peace and embodied worth.

We tell ourselves we have more time.
It sounds wise, responsible. Spiritual even.

“I’ll do it later.”
“Once things calm down.”
“When I’m more ready.”

But here’s what I see, over and over again...

That phrase is usually a beautifully wrapped form of avoidance.

This morning in one of my programs, I was sitting with a group of brilliant women, women whose work literally transforms lives. I watched some of them talk themselves into shrinking.

“I’m waiting for the timing to be right.”
“I’ll put the offer out after I get more clarity.”

But the truth was… they weren’t disconnected from clarity.

They were disconnected from their why.

When we followed the thread deeper, what emerged wasn’t a lack of readiness, it was fear masquerading as patience. The ego trying to negotiate safety by stretching the timeline.

When she finally reconnected to the deeper reason she feels called to offer her work, (not the “should”), the energy shifted.

It’s wild how quickly our power returns when we stop postponing our purpose.

The soul doesn’t operate on “later.”

The soul speaks in now, this, here.

Waiting for the “perfect time” is never actually about timing.
It’s about avoiding the moment you finally have to own the magnitude of who you are.

You don’t need more time.
You need more truth.

So if you’ve been telling yourself you’ll do it “soon”…

Ask yourself: What am I really avoiding?

And then, choose the tiniest, most honest step that moves you toward what you already know is yours.

Because the longer you wait to step into your soul-work, the longer the world waits to be touched by it.

There’s a version of you that only appears when the world stops asking you to be anything.

Here you’ll get to: slip your phone into a drawer and suddenly realize how much of your energy was being siphoned into things that don’t actually matter.

To wake up in the soft morning light of Costa Rica, wrapped in warm air and birdsong, with nothing to do except notice yourself return; sensation by sensation.

There’s a moment that happens every time I lead this retreat. Usually around the 3rd day.

Someone looks up from their journal, eyes glossy, and says: “I didn’t realize how long I’ve been holding my breath.”

When the noise drops away, your system recalibrates.
Your mind loosens its grip on problems that suddenly don’t feel like emergencies.
Your soul, patient and steady, finally gets to be heard.

The land does something here.
It’s hard to put into words.
The cloud forest has its own rhythm.
The pristine water rearranges you.
You remember how to be in partnership with your life instead of wrestling it into submission.

I think most women don’t actually need a break.
We need space.
Space to hear what we’ve been too busy to feel.

Seven days.
Ceremony.
Nature that invites your nervous system to exhale.

She stopped trying to fix herself and started creating from her soul. ✨

In my latest Next Level Magic podcast episode, I sat down with my client , an artist, healer, and storyteller whose transformation has blown me away.

When we first began working together, Donnia was booked solid, serving everyone but herself; successful on the outside, but secretly exhausted and disconnected inside.

Through our work, she reclaimed her power.
She stopped forcing.
She started playing.
And what came through was pure magic.

She birthed the Sacred Yes Universe, a body of work that bridges the sacred and the playful and even sculpted her wounded ego into a clay character named Stella (yes, really).

Now she’s hosting art shows, channeling her creativity from Source, and living fully in overflow.

This episode is a beautiful reminder that transformation doesn’t come from more “self-help.” It comes from remembering who you truly are and saying yes to the life that wants to move through you.

Wealth can feel confusing when your mind craves expansion but your nervous system is still wired for survival.

Not because you’re doing anything wrong…
but because most of us were conditioned our entire lives to believe that money is:
• pressure
• proof of worth
• something separate from the Divine

So your body learned to brace.
To contract.
To feel unsafe the moment money enters the room.

But here’s what changes everything:

Money was never separate from God.
It isn’t the opposite of spirituality.
It isn’t something you have to chase, control, or purify yourself to receive.
It is one of the ways Source moves, circulates, creates, and loves through us.

And when we return to that knowing, something softens.
The breath opens.
The fear loosens its grip.
We stop performing the “good girl who needs less”
and start living as the woman whose desires are holy.

The desire to experience beauty.
To give generously.
To feel free in her body.
To live the life her soul came here to live.

That is the frequency of Next Level Wealth.
Not a strategy class.
But a remembrance.
A nervous system recalibration.
A sacred reunion between wealth and the Divine within you.

Doors close at 5pm PT tonight.

If your soul is whispering yes, I’m holding the door open for you.
💜
