The Fiddlehead Collective
The pleasure-positive group coaching space you didn’t know you needed. For people who want to understand their patterns, practice new ones, and change how they show up in their relationships with loving support.
Small Group • Weekly Sessions • Sliding Scale
Change happens in community.
Awareness happens as an individual.
Fiddlehead ferns unfurl slowly, in their own time, in the company of others. That's what we do here. With facilitation, feedback, mirroring, nervous system support, and deep understanding, this is the space where you practice the changes your relationships are craving.
What you get out of this group container (90 minutes together each week, between-session support, a stacked online portal), is much more than what you see on its face. It’s the secret sauce to integrating your insight.
“Meryl showed me how to truly connect with myself emotionally and do the healing work I needed to be fully present for my partners and for myself and remain unabashedly and proudly authentic.”
Why we’re here and why you need it.
Whether you've been in therapy for years, have read every book, or are only just starting - there's something in this room for you.
What matters more than your experience level is your willingness to open yourself up to other people. To tell the truth. To hear something about yourself that might be hard to take. And when the instinct is to point outward (at the situation, at the other person, at anything but yourself), to get at least a little curious about what's happening on the inside and what part you're playing in your life being what it is.
Most of us learned that other people aren't safe. That they will fail you or you will fail them, and that neither is survivable. And those stories have been keeping you protected your whole life. It's also been keeping you stuck and disconnected. That’s why, when I think about the most meaningful work that I do, I often think about how important it is for us to be in community. There is something so essential about practicing skills in a safe and holistic way, and The Fiddleheads Collective is where you start to find out who you can actually let in, and practice doing it with real people in real time.
If you're ready to stop circling the same patterns alone, this is for you.
“The work we did together and the tools Meryl helped us discover have been priceless. This has transformed my life, our relationship, and helped me heal in ways I didn’t think were possible.”
Between Sessions
-
The weekly 90-minute sessions are where things get activated. The rest of the week is where you work with it. You process the feedback you got, try doing something differently, or get curious about the thing someone said that you’re inexplicably unable to let go of.
-
The online portal is stacked with resources including video modules about specific growth edges in personal development and intimacy work. Think: boundaries, attachment, communication, relationship repair, desire, consent, fantasy exploration… and much more.
None of this is required, it’s just here for your own benefit, interest, and knowledge. -
Each module of the online portal has its own journal prompts, PDF resources, and guided exercises to help you sit with what came up and make sense of it on your own time, at your own pace.
-
A WhatsApp group for your cohort - for logistics, for connection, for the things that come up between live sessions.
The group doesn't end when the call does.
You've shown up every week. You've said the uncomfortable thing, or you haven't - and you've noticed how both feel. You've been seen in your mess and your growth and your contradictions, and people kept showing up anyway. That accumulates.
What people call confidence is really just a habit. And group is where you build it. Not by being told you're enough, but by finding out that you are, repeatedly, in a room full of real people.
Six months in, you move differently. Not because you've become someone new. Because you've stopped apologizing for who you already are.
You feel more connected to yourself. And you know, somewhere deeper than your head, that who you are is okay. Even if someone else doesn't like it.
Over time, something shifts.
“Before working with Meryl, I was totally disconnected from my sexuality. Now, I can talk openly with my wife about my desires, and receive her boundaries without getting triggered. Our sexual relationship is renewed after 20 years of marriage.”
The Details

Each group meets at its own weekly time. When a seat becomes available, you will be notified of the weekly time slot to confirm your availability.
-
Groups are small and curated for fit, between six and eight people. Join the waitlist and when there is a spot that makes sense for you, I’ll reach out.
-
New members commit to staying with the group for four months. This is what I believe to be the minimum amount of time needed to get something out of working in a group dynamic.
Group coaching is designed to support you for as long as you need and want to be there. When you’re ready to go, go.
-
Group is offered on a sliding scale. The initial 4-month commitments can be paid up front or billed monthly. After four months, you will be billed at the monthly rate until you’re ready to leave.

$800, $200 per month
$950, $237.50 per monthPay what reflects your financial reality. All three price points get you in the same room.
Members are required to pay for all sessions whether or not you’re able attend, because the group is counting on you. This isn’t a drop-in. It’s a commitment to each other.
No pressure to decide right now. Join the waitlist and see how you feel when the time comes.
