About the Guest:

Melissa Robin • Transformational Empowerment Facilitator + Photographer 

Melissa Robin understands the challenges of self-acceptance on a deeply personal level. As someone who has experienced body and gender dysmorphia and mental illness, she knows how difficult it can be to relax, express yourself fully, and be seen. This is why Melissa has dedicated her work to creating spaces where authenticity can be safely nurtured and revealed.

Through nature-based somatic practices, meditation, and sacred rituals, Melissa brings clarity, insight, and energy to those she guides. As a Trauma-Informed Somatic + Temple Body Facilitator, she is committed to supporting others on their journeys and documenting the process with photography. Her powerful visual storytelling provides lasting reminders of divine strength that clients can return to again and again.
