You might find yourself…
- longing to heal painful relationship patterns so that you can fully receive the loving relationship you want and deserve
- feeling deep down that there is MORE for your life and unsure of what that is or how to get there
- At a crossroads and afraid of making a wrong choice
- longing to understand the habits and beliefs that limit you and to discover what will set you free.
If you are wondering how the heck to breakthrough, to have, be and do what you truly want…if you’re feeling stuck and confused, or even just knowing deep down that there is MORE for your life and relationships and sensing that you stop yourself from going there, then you’ve come to the right place.
Your Astrological Birth Chart offers a comprehensive look into your own psyche, a unique map for your own soul’s fulfillment. It highlights the transformational journey that your soul is now longing for you to travel in this lifetime—the path that will lead to the greatest success and happiness for you. It also highlights the deep fears and the survival tactics you use in an attempt to keep you safe and stuck “where you are” so to speak.
The beauty is that you have a choice…and if you are feeling confused, frustrated, discouraged, longing for more, if you keep playing out the same patterns in your life that lead to pain and stagnation (whether that be in relationships, spirituality, career, finances, health, your relationship to self-care, etc.), that is a sure fire sign that you are not in alignment with the deeper call of your soul. A Soul Purpose Astrology Intensive with me makes this crystal clear.
The chart allows me to cut through the beliefs that keep you stuck and frustrated, it helps me to see the things that you might not even know to talk to me about because you didn’t realize that THAT was the piece that was blocking you from deeper fulfillment. And most importantly, it leaves you with clear self-awareness and the power to CHOOSE how your life unfolds rather than react unconsciously as it unfolds before you.
Unlike many of the astrologers out there, I am a trained Life Coach and spiritual guide…which means that I don’t just tell you the insight from your chart and leave you there. I support you in utilizing the wisdom of your birth chart as the jumping off point for your healing, for transforming painful patterns into life-affirming, soul-fulfilling ways of seeing, doing and being…and I give you the tools to consciously navigate your journey.
As a self-love & relationship coach, I read your birth chart in a very specific way, illuminating your fear based patterning while also reflecting your innate magnificence, bringing you home to your power to consciously choose from an empowered place where you want to focus your attention and what you want to create in your life.
Ultimately this work is about self-love and self-acceptance–because I am clear that there is nothing at all wrong with you…we just need to clean up your beliefs, so that you are free to see yourself and your life fully through that lens. Self-love does not occur without self-awareness and your birth chart is the essential starting place for both embracing yourself fully and also creating a thriving relationship.

The Back-story
You might say that I was born to do this work.
When I first discovered Astrology as a little girl, I knew it was truth. I never contemplated why or how that it works…it didn’t occur to me as odd in any way shape or form that there is an energetic interrelationship going on with us and the planets and stars. There has always been an intuitive knowing in me of the oneness of the entire Universe. My first discoveries of Astrology (beginning like everyone else, with knowing my Sun Sign) felt magical and alive inside of me and yet, so very grounded and real.
I’ve had other astrologers tell me that they think I was likely an astrologer in other lifetimes, and I think that might be true. My learning and growth as an astrologer has always been an effortless pursuit, and my understanding of birth charts is highly intuitive. I began my astrological pursuits wanting to read all about myself, to understand myself…and by the time I was in middle school, I was often looking up my friend’s planets and sharing the wisdom with them as well.
And because self-discovery has always been a huge motivator to me, I’ve also taken many personality assessments through the years delighting and receiving insight from each one…yet, I must say that all pale in comparison to the detail and personal relevance of one’s individual Astrological Birth Chart. Those assessments become powerful complements once you know your own specific growth journey. And as I’ve grown spiritually and explored other modalities for healing, those tools all become tools to bring about the soul growth laid out in my birth chart.
It’s important to note that not all astrologers are built alike—one can have knowledge of Astrology without operating from a healing consciousness and the result can be a very fear-based, control-oriented way of reading charts. This breaks my heart and pisses me off at the same time. I’ve spent years growing and expanding my own consciousness, in addition to training as a spiritual life coach, so that I can fully and effectively guide you home to your OWN inherent wisdom and knowing and align you with both the self-knowledge AND the growth tools to help you thrive. I respect with great reverence the responsibility of my role as a spiritual guide.
I do what I do because I know that suffering is optional and that self-awareness and spiritual guidance are key. And when I speak of suffering, I speak of the prolonged effects of chronically unmet needs, of not living in alignment with your purpose. I speak of heartbreak and disillusionment and also boredom and longing for more but not knowing how to get there. I speak of stuckness and a deep inner sense of “settling.” I do what I do because I know suffering and I know the freedom on the other side and I want that freedom for all people.

Soulful Success Stories
“At the time I hired Melissa, I was seeking influences that might guide my direction with greater clarity. Working with Melissa lead me to a feeling of being seen, which resulted in a shift to self intuitiveness, a sense of personal empowerment. Issues brought up in my reading were issues I had secretly been conscious of but would have never spoken them out loud. It was a gentle reminder of past lives & my relationship, in the Here & Now, to them. Right off the bat, I have to say, one of my favorite parts of working with Melissa is her gentleness. She is subtle like a sister, like a tender friend guiding me toward aspects of myself that are clear enough to be seen by an educated, intuitive other. Yet, easily overlooked by my Self. The sense of calm, steadiness, the sense of Truth being released as she shared her insights was comforting & validating to my experience as a whole. My experience of her was one of Truth, a knowing that what she was sharing was Truth. She have an affinity for trust & comfort that cannot be denied. Melissa is authentic. She comes from a place of spiritual innocence… not guilelessness, but Truth in its purest form. her eagerness to spread comfort & peace is unwavering & inspiring. She has continued to keep up with me after a couple of years after 1 reading. She has NEVER not been there for me.” ~ Zoe Jones, Professional Photographer, Chattanooga, Tennessee
“I was experiencing a lot of resistance over the growth of my business and the clearing of struggles within some important relationships. My session with Melissa brought up a lot of uncomfortable truths, but her insightful and compassionate guidance helped me see things in a way that allowed me to be more open to different possibilities, and helped me begin to make major progress in my work and personal life. My favorite part about working with Melissa is that she is able to identify things that are a huge part of my life, but that I was unable to see from my own shoes. She did this in such a loving way that even though she confronted some of my demons, I always felt cared for and nurtured, and as if I was “good” the way I am. The works she does had a much bigger impact on me than I ever imagined before our session, and I think it is so effective because of her vast knowledge and the authentic connection she creates with those she is serving. Since working with Melissa, I’m now able to notice when I am sabotaging my own interests and to choose a new path.” ~ Sabrina Bodden, Massage Therapist and Founder of NūNa Wellness, Madison, WI
“After my Soul-Purpose session with Melissa, I wrote in my journal:
‘All the perceived ‘struggles’ and challenges that I make wrong are actually who I am, are my life path, are my purpose and the reason I am here and the amazing-ness that I have to give. In this space there is nothing wrong. This is me, this is my path, this is the adventure of my life.’
At the time of working with Melissa, I had been feeling very paralyzed with a push-pull dynamic of surrender and control in my life. I wanted to surrender to accept love, spontaneity and creativity in my life, yet I did not want to back down from having control over my own choices, autonomy and standing up for what felt authentic to me in relationships. Because of messages I had received in the past, and some recent feedback from professionals who were supporting me, I could only see this through a lens of creating my own suffering and loneliness through my lack of clarity in relationships and decisions. Needless to say, I felt very troubled and lonely as I watched myself in this dynamic, and felt powerless to change it.
During my session with Melissa, it was laid out to me so clearly that this very push-pull dynamic of wanting to be in control, and also learning how to surrender is actually not a problem at all, but the journey of my life path itself. It is not a “problem” to be solved, a deficit, or something I am doing wrong, as other mentors had told me. Rather, it is something I am doing right, and in fact, the reason and purpose that I am here. I am growing out of a past-life role of being like a CEO or army general, and into a creative goddess full of creation, individuality, taking risks, and child-like energy. The session allowed me to shift my paradigm from “this is what is wrong with me” to “wow! this is an incredible journey that I am on, and this is why I am here!” I felt such a freedom and excitement in being supported in seeing this, to accept and celebrate the dynamics of my life rather than pushing them away or putting myself down. This new way of looking at myself and my life journey literally set me free from the feeling of being paralyzed and the self-blame. Not only that, but I could see how my whole life journey has been leading up to this point, and how the characteristics of taking risks and getting messy, giving love with abandon, and accepting others in their vulnerability are things that I have been growing into since I was a child.
Melissa and I talked about practical action steps of how to step more and more into those things which bring me joy, excitement, energy and connection. I had barely started implementing the ideas we talked about, when circumstances in my life popped out of nowhere that led me in that very direction. Before I knew it, I was involved in supporting a close friend in a way that allowed me to use my gifts of connection, creativity, and empathy. I felt like a different person, yet the person that deep inside I always knew myself to be. I believe that putting on a new lens with which to see myself and my life empowered me to take big steps to embrace the type of living that I dreamed of.
One of the things I most appreciate about Melissa is her emphasis on looking at everything from the standpoint of what is right rather than what is wrong. With her, there is no need to pathologize, criticize or put down anything in one’s life. It is all right and perfect. Looking at it in this way is truly looking at oneself and life with unconditional love and one-ness rather than duality. I like how she says to choose to do a session with her “never because I need it, only because I want it.” This type of support, based in the knowledge that all is right with me, was a new way of living that I was so ready to embrace. I kept feeling uncomfortable with other advice that I was being given, and I felt Melissa’s strong and loving model of accepting and celebrating all parts of one-self was a beacon on the road home to what I knew I was looking for. I feel that the paradigm she embodies is an important example for other mentors and people in the healing profession. I would encourage people who are looking for support to keep searching and trusting inwardly to find that which feels deeply wise and true for you every step of the way.
I also feel that Melissa embodies a spirit of generosity and abundance in her work, which encouraged me to feel that same abundance in my own life and give graciously for the love of giving. When I think of her, I think of knowing that the blessings I have are overflowing and that I am never lacking in love and resources for everything that I need. I think of allowing things to come to me, rather than worrying about when they will come or where they will come from. Also, that giving is receiving, and receiving is giving! Thank you Melissa for the strength, courage and unconditional love that you choose in your life. Thank you for embracing the call to share your gifts so that all beings may more fully know love, unity and freedom! <3 ” ~ Therese M.
“Melissa is an incredible listener. She has the power to create a situation that allowed me to be honest with myself, without judgement. She offers empathy and an opportunity for you to see yourself with compassion and understanding. Her intuition is uncanny and ability to read astrological charts was truly like I was holding a mirror to my inner self.
I was feeling pretty overwhelmed with a lot of major life changes at the time of my Soul-Purpose Astrology Session. I was just a few months in at a new job that I knew wasn’t a good fit for me. I was struggling to finish a graduate certificate program and trying to find some answers. Though at the center, I think I was trying to rediscover myself. Somehow I felt that I had lost or perhaps, put aside some of the true pieces of my identity. I knew I wasn’t quite happy, but was also feeling lost.
Melissa was able to clearly define personality traits and characteristics about me that I hadn’t even realized. Her insight gave voice to many of my buried thoughts and emotions. She gave me the power to recognize why I was feeling a certain way, and the ability to see my feelings and frustrations as a result of circumstances, rather than a fault or flaw within myself. I was able to step away from guilt and see that there was a clear reason for my emotions.
Melissa’s questions made me think about myself in other situations and experiences, and drawing from those reflections, I was able to remember when I felt the most confident, powerful and comfortable as myself. Having the ability to reflect on those times, and then to envision myself as that individual in my current situation really helped me “revisit” and become that person that I had been.
Her willingness to listen and ability to offer love and healing to my previous self gave me the ability to do the same.” ~ Jess P.
I began working with Melissa because I was looking for support to expand and grow beyond my comfort zone. I held a longing to be of greater service beyond myself and I simply did not know how to get there. Working with Melissa I was able to uncover some important understandings that have helped me clear many false expectations that got in my way and created confusion. Through my work with her I was able to relax more and begin to see life as a playground, drawing from a sense of expansion and possibility rather than from a place of contraction and self-doubt. What I loved most about working with her was her loving presence and deep commitment to helping me realize my dreams. It’s been over five years since we worked together, and I still remember the first session I had with her and how I felt heard, held, and guided to look deep within myself. As an astrologer, she offered me a map that set my daily life into a larger context that continues to support me to this day. Melissa is both an amazing coach and a great model to anyone around her. Her greatest strengths include her deep and penetrating questions with a light playfulness and authenticity. All of this combines sweetly with her ability to live what she teaches. If you are ready to work deeply and express your deep longings, Melissa can help you make it real! ~ Kathryn Gonzalez, Bemidji, MN
“The impact of a session with Melissa really can’t be measured in the hours, days, or even weeks immediately following your experience. I believe it can only truly be understood with the perspective that a little bit of time and distance can afford.
In my session with Melissa, I feverishly took notes as I was delighted, overcome, and then astonished at the series of “ah ha” moments that showered forth. It was exhilarating, both emotionally and intellectually, because it was as if the inner topography of my psyche and/or soul was being displayed for the first time, clear and intelligible. My true purpose, the reasons behind when and why I feel motivated or lethargic, the narrative of how I relate to others in close and intimate relationships was all laid bare…. and startlingly accurate. My past actions and feelings… made sense in the greater context of who I was, and am, and am striving to be.
As I said before I took lots of notes.
Which brings me back to how I first started this review… the potential for Melissa’s gifts to impact your life are, and can be immediate, because you now see the map, your map, and can make decisions, new decisions, confidently from your core. And yet to measure her impact… while it is felt in the moment, is best understood in hindsight and continuous self-reflection.
And that for me has been the greatest gifts–her words and insight, if captured, can be returned to often. I can look back, reconnect with my soul’s true purpose, and remember what I’m on here on earth to do, for myself, and for others. And that for me brings with it a relaxed and peaceful confidence to all that I strive to do.” ~ David Bugge, Entrepreneur, LA
“When I met with Melissa I think what I was experiencing in my life was a sense of being “stuck” or stagnant. She asked questions that helped make things clearer for me and helped me look toward a sense of play and enjoyment in my life. My favorite part of working with Melissa is that she looks you in the eye and she listens. Really listens. She gave me her full attention and she didn’t judge. She is interested. She cares. When she spoke of my astrology chart and the way it described how I looked at the world, I recognized myself immediately. She helped me see how I can tend to view the world as harsh or difficult, and we talked about things I could do to shift that perception. Slowly, I am practicing saying “yes” when I mean yes and “no” when I mean no more consciously. I am practicing walking in the world as if I fully belong (not as if I am in the way or as if I’d rather crawl under the radar). I am practicing remembering, and then leaning in toward, what is healthy and nurturing for me. The things we talked about planted seeds that are growing. Melissa is a joy to work with; and her sense of ease put me at ease as well.” ~ Aly, Madison, WI
“Just had THE MOST AMAZING session with Melissa Simonson, discovering my soul purpose, my areas to work on, and my gifts to explore. I am so BLESSED by this woman and her ability to see into my heart and encourage me to go deeper into the places that scare me as well as celebrate and nurture myself in my growth. If this speaks to you, if you want to find out more about yourself (and you wont realize you knew it until she is telling you and you are nodding your head and your eyes are filling up with tears), if you want loving guidance in navigating your soul’s path, give yourself the GIFT of talking to this amazing woman!! Thank you Melissa, I can’t wait to work with you more and go deeper!!!” ~ Elyse Morgan, Murrieta, CA
“I’ve worked with spiritual counselors in the past, but from our first conversation I knew that Melissa was much different. I had recently left my job and the day of our trial session my husband lost his job. Most people in that situation would think twice before investing in counseling for themselves . . . but I never though twice about hiring Melissa once I spoke to her . . . she’s one of the best investments I’ve made in myself !
When I think back on all the ground we covered, from our initial session through the amazing Astrology work, and into weekly sessions, it’s hard to believe it all happened in a 4 month span of time. Melissa has helped me understand myself better, she helped me rekindle my confidence (which was the first thing my husband noticed), and she helped me understand what it means for me to shine every day (as well as the consequences of choosing not to) which is a tremendous framework to help balance myself now that our sessions time has ended.
With Melissa I laughed, cried and opened myself to feel a wide range of emotion . . . but never once felt any judgment . . . only kindness, encouragement, and 100% loving support! I’ve come to think of her as my gentle, empowering angel. : )
If you have been as fortunate as I’ve been to cross paths with Melissa – and if you are asking yourself ‘if it’s really worth it’ – I can assure you that you are more than worth it !!!” ~ Rondah Summers, Topeka, Kansas
“My favorite part of working with Melissa was how insightful I felt she was. From the first time we talked I just felt like she understood where I was coming from. I also felt like I could be very honest with her and she wouldn’t judge, just listen. I think being able to use astrology along with the coaching really helped to reinforce what she were telling me. It made me feel like the coaching was tailored for me and she wasn’t just saying things that she would say to all of her clients. It was definitely one of the things that made me hire her as my coach.
When we met, I was at a point in my life when I felt utterly lost. I had just come home from traveling and I felt trapped in my life here. I hated my job but I didn’t know what to do to fix that situation. I was sick of being single and meeting guys but not having it amount to anything. I was angry with my parents for their life choices and drama. I had all these things I needed to fix and no idea where to start. I was looking for someone to point me in the right direction and help me get back on track. I was looking for answers on what the next step to take in my life was. I was in need of someone to boost my confidence in myself again.
Through working with Melissa, I have become so much more self-confident and self-aware. I am more in tune with my body and my mind, which has helped me to make some big decisions these past four months. I feel like I have a sense of purpose and direction. She helped me to reignite my inner fire and I feel it glowing strong! My anxiety that I had about the future and my life are gone. She helped me to see that I can trust in the universe to unfold the way it should.
All of this confidence and awareness has helped me to move forward in my life. I know what I want and the most important part is that I am finally able to allow myself to have it without feeling guilty. I have learned to let go of lists and planning every detail. I need to listen to myself and let my feminine energy flow in order to feel freedom in everyday life. I have learned to be honest about what I want and to express that to people without feeling guilty about it. I have learned to stop thinking I am protecting others by not being honest. This was a huge step for me in regards to relationships.
For anyone considering hiring Melissa, I would say this: ‘If you want to find joy in your life and learn to listen to your inner yes, you need to hire Melissa! She helped give my life direction again when I was feeling more lost than I have ever been. I can’t thank her enough for helping me to reignite my inner fire and passion. Life is beautiful again.” Caitlin, Madison, WI
“In my work with Melissa, I finally gave myself permission to put MY needs first. And the shocking (but perfectly simple) realization that when I DO put my needs first, this not only is best for me…but everyone around me and THE WORLD ITSELF! I am now aware of interacting with my ex-husband, not trying to please him or make his life easier…but challenging him to create his own life. Melissa so profoundly made me aware that we are all here to challenge and help each other step into ourselves. Trying to fix my ex’s problems was not only making me unhappy, it was also stunting his possible growth into the person he is supposed to be. Consider my Mind BLOWN!
I feel so joyful, even when dealing with negative situations now, because I feel secure in the path I am currently on and the choices I am making. Our meeting marked a turning point in my life, Melissa. I truly am SO THANKFUL. I feel like you stoked that fire and started it blazing. Thank you for your guidance on this journey. I am tearful with gratitude.” Michelle, R., Stoughton, WI
“I started seeing Melissa when I wanted to find a fulfilling, heart-centered career that resonated with me. While I was already in the helping professions, I felt like I was contorting myself to be someone else. The field was ripe with exciting options, but I was so overwhelmed and intimidated about making “the right choice” I didn’t know in which direction to go. Melissa helped me feel comfortable with and embrace the uncertainty, discover my inherent gifts, and move through those tendencies and thought patterns that were getting in my way. I also found myself compelled to work on seemingly unrelated issues–relationships–and found that our work was more than realizing certain goals, it was about learning how to tune in to myself so I could live with more balance, peace, and awareness so I could honor myself no matter what issues I was confronted with. I completed our coaching series feeling more confident, open, and hopeful for what my life was to bring. I have returned to Melissa from time to time, when I needed a little extra guidance in sorting out the sometimes conflicting voices within. It has now been a few years since my first meeting with Melissa and can say that I have given myself the freedom to explore, and get messy… this was something that I never allowed myself to do before. In the process my career path has steadily revealed itself to me, and I am now full-heartedly pursuing work that is nurturing and enhances my spiritual development (and other’s as well).
I must say, as I have gone further down the road of healing and self-growth I have met other life coaches in gatherings and eagerly ask them about their work, because my sessions with Melissa were so transformative. I can tell you that after all those meetings I was so thankful that I got to work with MELISSA with her genuine nature, honesty, intuitiveness, listening-abilities, and lovingness. She got me, and got the whole enchilada that is me–not just the surface, operating personality, the intellectual, or social side. The spiritual/Astrologcial piece of our work was huge! It resonated with me and helped uncover those bits that were latent inside that I didn’t realize were there. I know I would not have gotten the substance out of our sessions that I did if that piece was missing.
I know that my work with Melissa helped me to have the self-reliance, courage, and compassion to live authentically, and highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a heart-centered coach who looks at all aspects of who you are.“ Sarah, B., Madison, WI
“I loved Melissa’s positive, warm & loving energy. I walked away from our time together with a new understanding of what really matters to me in my life right now. It helped me to embrace more fully my desire for more pleasure and enjoyment in my life and shifted my understanding of my relationships towards more intimacy and freedom. I feel more empowered again to create my own reality from my heart desires, and to let go of any need for control, performance or achievement.” Kris K., Berlin, Germany
“I really felt supported and guided by a loving hand…or voice, rather 
. With the clarity and insights I’ve gotten, I plan to work on being accountable and honoring/nurturing/loving myself. I plan to set goals for myself and focus on what I need to do for myself and create a wholeness in myself before running off to help others. I want to take the reins of my life, take action, and thrive…and then others will be able to thrive with me. Melissa brings a depth and understanding to her work that translates to the information gathered through discovery during her sessions. Plus, she is a personal cheerleader who wants everyone to radiate in their self-love and project their goodness into the world.” Geri, E., Madison, WI.
“I loved the genuine approach Melissa had in helping me with my journey through the astrology reading to becoming the best Queen I can be. I also loved how relatable she was. It was almost as if we had known each other or met each other a long time ago! She really helped me gently discover my truths and face them in a way that will catapult me into true healing. I felt so warm and loved after the call! I think that her spirit of patience, compassion and understanding is what makes her work so effective. Even over the phone, I could feel that she truly wanted to help me discover me a little deeper, all the while reminding me of the great attributes I do have that I may seem to overlook at times.
I am now able to allow myself to be more cognizant of my habits and tendencies. I am now able to delve a little deeper into my self-conscious to recover those repressed parts of myself and start to heal myself on a more deeper level than before. Because of my conference call with Melissa, I can constantly stay aware of my WHOLE being and truly pay attention to myself.” ~ Tashia A., Baltimore, MD
“I was feeling stuck in my life and was desperately wanting and needing a career change at the time I began working with Melissa. Even though I was “successful” in my position and advancing in my career, I was feeling less confident than ever before. I knew I needed to make a change, and even had a fairly clear idea of what I wanted to do and how I wanted to accomplish it, but I felt I needed an outside opinion, some guidance and perspective that wasn’t my mom, my sister, a close friend, or even my boyfriend/partner.
Melissa didn’t give me clear cut answers, but rather knew how to ask the right questions to get me thinking about and considering all the different factors that played into this major life decision and change. While I came into the coaching experience thinking it was all about career and self-fulfillment, Melissa got me thinking about my support system, my relationships, and these underlying issues that I hadn’t even considered. I took with me tools and beliefs and self-assurance knowing that I was making the right decision for myself and others were welcome to join me on this ride. Even though I wasn’t expecting it, we ended up exploring the important relationships in my life more than just the single issue of my career, which ended up giving me the confidence to take the leap and knowing I would be just fine.
Deep down, I think the answers I sought and courage I needed were within me, somewhere. But Melissa was key in being that outside perspective, knowing what questions to ask and what really needed thought and exploration. I so appreciated her holistic approach in coaching – considering all aspects of myself (career, relationships, thoughts/beliefs, emotions, goals) and not just the surface insecurities. Her positive thoughts, encouragement and overall good energy were infectious and working with her through that time in my life was a complete gift.” ~ Melanie, B., Madison, WI
