Meet Melissa
Hello! I’m Melissa, founder of Wild Haven. My journey to create Wild Haven began with my own healing through somatic and nature-based practices, reconnecting with the land, plants, and animals that have always grounded me. As a licensed therapist, group practice owner, coach, and self-proclaimed nature nerd, I felt called to go beyond the therapy office and offer healing experiences rooted in the natural world. Through Wild Haven, I guide nature-based somatic practices to help others feel more alive, embodied, and deeply connected to themselves and the world around them.
HERE’S HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER:
Upcoming Retreats
Elemental Alchemy
May 17-23, 2027 · Portugal
Nature, Ritual and Renewal
July 11-16, 2027 · Costa Rica
Return to yourself in the wild beauty of Costa Rica. Nature, Ritual & Renewal is a deeply restorative and experiential retreat for helpers and healers, weaving together somatic and nature-based learning, powerful work with horses, creative ritual, and meaningful connection.
This year, we’re slowing things down—with more spaciousness to rest, explore, connect, and be held instead of always being the one holding.
Gather with a community of therapists who are curious about what exists at the edges of traditional psychotherapy. Elemental Alchemy is an experiential retreat rooted in somatic and nature-based practices, creative exploration, and the wisdom of the elements.
Set in a beautiful finca nestled within an ancient cork forest, we’ll make space for big ideas, meaningful connection, intuition, and imagining what wants to come next—in our work and in ourselves.
