Meet Your Guides

Sex Coach Melanie Bonk and Dr. John Adam Bonk

Melanie Bonk is a Certified Love, Sex & Relationship Coach, Somatic Trauma-Informed Therapist, and Sexual Empowerment Guide with nearly three decades of lived partnership. A wife of 26+ years and mama of four boys (and a CrossFit coach), she brings real-life devotion, humor, and grit, so intimacy skills work in the wild, not just on the mat. Rooted in tantric wisdom and somatic psychology, Melanie's BONK BETTER method blends science-backed tools, nervous-system regulation, soulful communication, and sacred pleasure practices. Her facilitation is consent-first and shame-free: you choose your pace, your edges, and every "no" is holy. (And yes, she sometimes spins as a Pleasure Priestess DJ - because ritual can be rhythmic.)

John-Adam Bonk, MD has served patients in the Emergency Department for 20+ years, tending to people on their hardest days with steadiness, clarity, and care. That frontline experience trained him to read nervous systems quickly, de-escalate intensity, and create calm in the storm—skills he now brings to intimacy work. For the past 5+ years, he's practiced tantra and embodiment alongside Melanie, exploring presence, breath, movement, and repair as practical, everyday love skills.

We call it Play-work (because it's way more fun than any homework): think sensual, connecting tantric massage and simple rituals. We'll reconvene for group share - celebrating highlights and tending to sticky spots - always with consent and choice.
