Your Journey to True Self-Love begins here.
Something in you is waking up.
Maybe you've heard the call — a quiet but persistent whisper that there is more. More vibrancy. More peace. More alignment. A version of yourself that feels fully alive, fully expressed, fully you. The woman you somehow lost along the way, beneath the roles, the responsibilities, the years of putting everyone else first.
You're not broken. You're being called home.
There's a moment when you stop being able to ignore the pull. When something deep inside you knows that the life you're living is only a fraction of what's possible. When midlife stops feeling like a crisis and starts revealing itself as an invitation — to shed what no longer fits, to heal what's been buried, and to finally step into the most authentic, vibrant version of yourself you've ever known.
That moment is why I do this work.
I support women who are ready to heal at the nervous system level, quiet the noise of survival mode, and come back home to themselves. Whether that looks like one-on-one mentorship, a curated group experience, microdosing as a gentle catalyst for change, or a sacred journey into the deeper layers of who you are, there's a path here for you.
This is where healing and expansion actually begin.
Melissa Saubers is a powerhouse at what she does. She is THE ULTIMATE EXPERT in her field. I speak from my own experience with Melissa guiding me and holding space for me step by step through my personal life transformation.

Every woman arrives here differently. Some are ready for deep, private mentorship. Some want the intimacy of a small circle. Some need a single night of ceremony to crack things open. Wherever you are, there's a path that meets you there.
Here's how we can work together.
One-on-One Mentorship
Some journeys need a private, sacred container — just you and me, going as deep as you're ready to go. These three offerings meet you wherever you're starting from.
Not sure where to start? The Beginning is for a first, gentle taste of sacred microdosing. The Becoming is for women ready for a full season of transformational mentorship. The Full Journey is for women ready to go all the way — including a private Sacred Medicine Journey of your own.

Behind every offering on this page is one woman who has walked this path herself.
I'm Melissa Saubers — a Midlife Mentor, Intuitive, Microdosing Guide, Sacred Medicine Facilitator, and Breathwork Alchemist.
For over 15 years, I've navigated my own journey through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. I know — from the inside — what it takes to move through this transition not just surviving it, but transformed by it. I've done my own reinventing and healing through the roles I've carried — mother, business owner, volunteer, partner — and the version of myself I had to release along the way to find my way back home.
I help women discover and release the conscious and subconscious beliefs, behaviors, and barriers keeping them stuck in survival mode — repatterning limiting beliefs, healing their hearts, and expanding into the fullest expression of their most authentic selves.
I work led by intuition, not a script — trusting what wants to move in each session. And one of the deepest gifts of this work is watching that same intuition reawaken in you: the inner knowing you've always had, but may have stopped trusting.
I specialize in the emotional alchemy of midlife — purpose, identity, heart healing, inner child work, and the nervous system shifts that come with this season of life. Whether through one-on-one mentorship, The Vitality Protocol: Microdosing for Menopause, or a sacred medicine ceremony, I guide women in working safely and intentionally with sacred earth medicine, Elevated Breathwork, and heart-centered coaching to regulate the nervous system, awaken intuitive clarity, and reclaim their most vibrant, soul-led lives.
I blend science, soul, and ceremony in everything I offer — grounding ancient wisdom in modern practice. My training spans over two decades — breathwork facilitation, hypnotherapy, energy healing, sacred medicine facilitation, and more — but nothing has taught me as much as walking this path myself.
I'm grateful that I get to do this work every day. I look forward to walking this path with you.
Choose you.

Stories of Transformation
Through this experience, I developed a stronger connection to my body, greater trust in my own inner knowing, and a clearer ability to recognize and follow my yeses and nos. After spending much of my life looking outside myself for answers, I feel more connected to the wisdom within me, more aligned with myself, and more courageous in honoring what feels right for me.
What made this experience so powerful was Melissa. She created an incredibly safe and sacred container, held space with remarkable presence and attunement, and guided us with both wisdom and compassion. I felt deeply seen, supported, and cared for throughout the entire process. Her gift as a healer is not simply in the protocol itself, but in the way she gently guides each person back to themselves.
~ Maribeth Greene
As someone new to microdosing, I quickly realized how essential it is to work with a knowledgeable and compassionate coach, and Melissa is exactly that. She is a gentle, soft-spoken listener who brings deep wisdom, kindness, and love into every session, and she knows how to lovingly help you explore emotions when you feel stuck. Being guided by Melissa in a group setting has been incredibly powerful—sharing experiences with others creates connection, insight, and a sense of shared consciousness. I am deeply grateful for Melissa’s guidance and absolutely thrilled with the positive shifts unfolding in my life.

Since joining the 90 day protocol with Melissa, I no longer have this lurking feeling that there’s something that I need to figure out or a situation that I can’t trust. I feel so much more grounded in my personal knowing and guidance, and also like I have one of the best tools in my tool kit to help me navigate challenges. It is because of Melissa‘s guidance, this medicine, the coaching and breathwork sessions that I feel so sturdy in my inner truth. Thank you so much Melissa for this profound offering.

I’ve microdosed on my own in the past, but I’ve had far more meaningful and consistent results following the 90-day protocol, and I’m genuinely grateful I decided to join. Melissa does an incredible job supporting you throughout the process, but more importantly, she helps you build an actual skill set you can carry forward long after the program ends. It feels less like a program you complete and more like a way of relating to yourself that sticks.

The mushrooms have helped me transform my patterns of self criticism by helping me notice instead of quickly judging myself and those around me. The mushrooms have become a medicine for me to accept myself as I am, to rediscover my emotional center - my heart - and to begin rebuilding trust in myself, and they have done this by helping me feel safer in my body. More regulated, more connected.
The group aspect of the protocol really helped create a safe container for me to feel seen in my struggles and celebrated in my growth. Melissa, as our guide, tended to our stories with such care by listening whole heartedly and helping to call out themes in our learning. The reverence and intention she brings to this work helped me feel safe and supported while the mushrooms and the power of my breath helped me dig deeper into my story. All this combined helped me relate to myself with more compassion and forgiveness.

Melissa’s Sacred Microdosing program was deeply transformative for me. I entered with the intention of reconnecting to my creativity and gaining clarity around how I wanted to evolve my business, and what I found went far beyond that.
Through Melissa’s guidance, I connected to my intuition, a deep sense of presence, and my inner guidance in a powerful way. The results have been tangible and meaningful, showing up in both my personal and professional life. I’m incredibly grateful that I trusted my YES and embraced this journey.
