Satisfy Your Id
I help you reduce the noise, strengthen inner clarity & trust, and develop life-changing relational skills.
First, some things I know to be true:
Most of us are raised to suppress our emotions and connection to our body’s large reservoir of knowledge.
Many of the relational problems we face connect to this root problem; as a society we raise children not to listen to their bodies, but to listen to an external authority. Before this conditioning, a child knows their boundaries, a “NO!” is very easy and clear for two-year olds, but as we experience these No’s being disrespected, or we are shamed for sharing them, they often become quieter and quieter.
This is true for our other relational/intimate skills that are actually natural for children, yet much more difficult for adults such as: Asking for What We Want, Connecting to Authentic Wants/Desires, and much more.
The beauty of this work is that the body is incredibly resilient and patient. Even though the voice of the body may have been quieted, which is our deepest and purest form of wisdom, we can always rebuild this connection no matter where we are starting from.
Shame is a form of collective trauma that has been normalized and internalized.
Much of my work revolves around “De-shamifying”. Deshamifying our bodies, our desires, our “icks”, our fears, our dreams, and the survival mechanisms formed from systemic and relational abuse.
Shame is like an air-borne disease. We don’t need to directly be shamed for something to pick up on the shame we should be feeling. Especially when we are young, it can spread through seemingly small moments, an eye-roll, a sex scene in a film, and our sexual/romantic development is highly vulnerable to shame.
Many of us don’t even realize how much shame we are carrying, let alone recognize how it affects our intimate and sexual lives. Healing shame happens in relationship. When our most shameful parts of ourselves are witnessed and held, it can powerfully transform the toxic behaviors/patterns that stem from shame.

“I found Madelina after being relationship-less and sex-less for years. I knew I wanted this to change, but after trying a few other types of coaching and therapy, I was skeptical. What makes Madelina different is how practical her sessions are. She doesn’t just talk about feelings-instead we do exercises that have helped me build my sexual confidence remarkably quickly.
Madelina has an incredible intuition for knowing exactly what exercise will help you make the most progress, and her ability to build trust and rapport has made me feel comfortable doing exercises that I previously wouldn’t have imagined trying, even alone. That shift has made the idea of dating feel exciting instead of intimidating and has helped me approach relationships with more confidence. Within just a few sessions, being in a great relationship again feels possible for the first time in a long time.”

“Learning on the fly was overwhelming and left me stuck in anxious patterns that made intimacy even harder.
Madelina has been incredible at helping me slow down, connect with myself, and develop the tools I needed for deeper intimacy (and great sex!).”

“My first Reiki session with Mad Life was nothing short of incredible. Even in just 10 minutes, I felt an intense warmth at the top of my head and entered a deep, almost trance-like state where I could feel energy moving through me. After the session, she shared what she had seen, including a vision of my late father, which was profoundly moving. It was such a powerful experience that I immediately booked a full hour session. That session allowed me to release so much emotion and brought a deep sense of healing. I am truly grateful for this experience and highly recommend her to anyone looking for deep energetic work.”

“Madelina has an incredible force of spirit. Somehow magical little heating pads are imbedded in her hands— which thoroughly realigned my energy. After the session I felt at such peace. Madelina gives so much of her self in these sessions! Thank you for sharing your healing hands!”

“My first Reiki session with Madelina was nothing short of magical. From the moment I walked in, the space felt serene and safe. She set the tone with soft ambient music, and as the session began, I felt a gentle wave of warmth flow through me—like my body was being recalibrated.
When she moved toward my lower body, there was a distinct, almost electric hum—subtle but powerful. It felt like energy was coming back online.
After the session, Madelina shared a past life vision she received while working on me. It was unexpected, incredibly insightful, and left me with so much to reflect on.
I arrived feeling drained and ungrounded—and left feeling deeply nourished, calm, and aligned. Her presence is healing in itself.”
