PRAISE

“Melissa was so amazing in holding space and was so sensitive and made everybody feel part of the group. I loved how you opened our hearts and made us feel safe. There where multiple people who had difficulties with landing in the space but thanks to your space holding, in the end every single person felt welcome and present.” — Willeke Boot (she/her)

“Melissa created an atmosphere that immediately felt warm and welcoming. It was a space to dive deeper into feeling empowered through this craft, to practice with each other and to process emotion. It was raw, vulnerable and astoundingly beautiful.

Melissa is an incredibly knowledgable, thoughtful, and intuitive leader. Plus they are absolutely hilarious. I believe their varied bodywork background is a huge asset, a key extension of their rope knowledge. We were all at different levels with our own reasons for attending which Melissa seamlessly adapted to. I was nervous to attend and am so glad I did.” — Davide (he/him)

“I've experienced and loved Melissa's workshops before and - yes- I must admit I was not sure if the magic would translate well into the online format, but I am so glad I signed up for UNFURL-Online - because it did, the magic was fully there, and so surprisingly potent. Melissa's guidance is as warm, caring, attentive and inspiring, and they take so much care to ensure every single detail feels lush - even in the digital space - and every participant is seen, heard and felt, as if we were in one space. The content is excellent - it is varied and generous, very practical and deliciously mystical; most importantly, it has a clear arc that takes every participant on a journey towards a deeply felt and embodied version of own sensuality.” — Alina (she/her)

“I go to a lot of workshops here in Berlin, there's better ones and worse ones — and then I went to Melissa's workshop. It's a whole different level. On the way home I felt like I was floating in some high state of infinite happiness. Besides all the positive energy and just feeling incredibly welcome at her workshop, the most remarkable thing was how she genuinely cared about every single person present.” — Christian (he/him)

"Melissa is doing something very, very special. What started off as one-off workshop, has turned into an experience of progressive exploration with Melissa and her very capable crew. An exceptionally soulful, sensual and encouraging experience that allowed me to unfold with my whole being into the realm of erotic sovereignty and soulful kink as softly, shyly and safely as I need it to be. But also gave me a taster of a myriad of delicious possibilities that lie ahead. I can not turn back now.” — Alina (she/her)

“Safe and contained in the sacred space & wisdom of Melissa Tofton. I am intrigued by and bow for her authenticity, rawness and courageousness to open up online about sensuality, intimacy, sex and gender. I never felt so safe to show my vulnerability as within the beautiful online UNFURL-class. I finally learned about boundaries — Melissa guided me to my soft power, intuition and self healing capacities.” — Anouk (she/her)

"What impressed me the most about the course was how sincerely it felt like a safe and held container even though it was online. Before, during and after the course, I felt cared for and well informed. It is clear just how much Melissa cares for each individual’s process within the collective. In fact it felt like a collaborative experience, Melissa is so receptive to feedback and flow. Melissa’s natural skills at communication and movement in combination with their experience, knowledge and a genuine passion for their work makes the Unfurl course a very special and worthwhile experience." — Charlotte (she/her)
