Episode Description
Fellow Intimacy Guide, Melissa D is unbuckling the Bible Belt in Austin, Texas with Somatic body work in sexuality. Clinical Hypnotherapist & Somatic Sex Educator. Head honcho of BodyJoy Intimacy School, Melissa is empowering clients to learn new ways to talk, touch and play that feel both safe and exciting. Feeling inspired to take the goal out of sexual encounters, to try new things that are so simple yet profound ways to build intimacy and closeness. She is also one of the female practitioners for The Apollo Project- Erotic Embodiment Retreat helping men regain their sexual confidence in a very sex negative world. This is something very dear to my heart, as I believe the way out of toxic masculinity is for men to come together and learn how to lovingly connect to each other. The lens of her work and approach is all about self awareness, slowing down, tuning in and moving from there. If you are looking for a "technique" or a "trick" and the truth is that incorporating the connection intelligence of the body, presence and co regulation.

Christi Anne Bela and her guests are here to help you get out of your own way and gain the insight you need to build a life you love. The intimacy of understanding brings empowerment to all your connections. Get clear on what matters and make your boundaries your superpowers.
Anything we are too afraid to talk about is holding us hostage, and it is time to name it, claim it, lean in and do all the hard things, let vulnerability crack the heart wide open and let the light shine through.
“Unbuckled” gets to what’s underneath, past the fears of shame and up to the glory of sharing authentically. Christi Anne doesn't shy away from anything and empowers you to speak your mind.
