What We Offer
Each element of the Inner Wisdom Rising experience is designed to support your body’s natural rhythms, calm the nervous system, and guide you into deeper connection with yourself.
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
Available as Face, Body, or Full-Body Sessions
A gentle, rhythmic treatment designed to support your body’s natural detoxification pathways, reduce inflammation, and restore flow where things feel stagnant or heavy. Using intentional touch and sculpting techniques, this therapy helps move lymph fluid, decrease water retention, and encourage deep restoration.
This work:
-
Supports immune function and tissue repair
-
Helps release swelling, puffiness, and trapped fluid
-
Calms inflammation and enhances circulation
-
Leaves you feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded in your body
Whether you choose a targeted facial sculpting session or a comprehensive body treatment, each session is tailored to meet your body where it’s at — and gently guide it back into balance.
BOOK NOWContrast Therapy
(Infrared Sauna + Cold Plunge Circuit)
A powerful reset for your circulatory and nervous systems. This therapy invites you to move between the deep, penetrating heat of the infrared sauna and the cool intensity of the cold plunge, activating your body’s natural healing responses.
-
The infrared sauna works from the inside out — gently detoxifying tissues, improving circulation, and softening deep layers of tension.
-
The cold plunge reduces inflammation, sharpens mental clarity, and supports resilience by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system — the part of your system responsible for rest, regulation, and repair.
The intentional contrast between hot and cold creates space for the body to release, reset, and return to balance.
BOOK NOWSomatic-Based Coaching
If you’ve done the inner work — the journaling, the awareness, the mindset shifts — but still find yourself caught in familiar emotional loops or relational patterns… this work is for you.
Somatic-based coaching is an intimate space to explore what lives beneath the surface — the unconscious protective patterns, nervous system imprints, and deeper relational wounds that shape how you experience life and connection.
This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about coming back to the parts of you that had to disconnect to feel safe — and learning how to return to them with presence, compassion, and choice.
Inside these sessions, we focus on:
-
Releasing the emotional weight your body has been carrying
-
Gaining clarity on the patterns that quietly run your relationships
-
Rebuilding trust in your body’s wisdom and internal signals
-
Regulating your nervous system in the moments that matter most
-
Creating the kind of safety that allows for self-expression, boundaries, and deeper connection
This is not talk therapy.
It’s embodied work. It’s integrative. It’s feminine.
It’s about remembering who you are — not just in your mind, but in your body.

Hey, I'm Melissa
Founder, Space Holder, Visionary of Inner Wisdom Rising Wellness
I created this space because I know what it’s like to hold it all — to lead, to give, to carry others — and have nowhere to fully land. Inner Wisdom Rising Wellness was born as a sanctuary. A place where women can return to their bodies, slow down, and receive.
This isn’t just about wellness services.
It’s about remembrance. A re-connection to the wisdom that lives in your nervous system, your breath, your boundaries, your stillness.
As a somatic practitioner, I hold the deeper integration work through Inner Wisdom Rising — guiding women through emotional healing, relational patterns, and nervous system repair. While I no longer offer all hands-on sessions myself, I’ve created this space with intention — to hold women through the body, not just the mind.
Because every woman deserves to feel safe enough to rest. Interested in exploring deeper integration work or working one-to-one with me?
