Mel Sienna Rose (Madgwick) is an Australian Author, Podcaster, and Lifestyle Journalist. She brings feminine wisdom into real-world conversations about self-worth, relationships, wellness, mindfulness, and healing. Holding a Master’s degree in Journalism, a Graduate Diploma in Counselling, focussing on Women’s Health and Trauma through Monash University and a Diploma of Somatics & Embodiment from New York, Mel weaves intellectual clarity with body wisdom and spiritual grace. With a background in leading magazines including Girlfriend & Women’s Weekly, she now lives between the ocean in Sydney’s Byron Bay and Melbourne writing and teaching from the rhythm of the sea and the heart of the Goddess. Her work creates a sense of safety, remembrance, and meaningful inner change. Women leave feeling more alive, more honest with themselves, and more connected to the woman they truly are.

Alongside her work as a sacred feminine author and teacher, Mel is also deeply engaged in media, editorial, and journalism-based storytelling. She loves the creative process of writing, editing, and podcasting, and is drawn to long-form, emotionally intelligent conversations that explore the inner lives of women. She is equally at home writing about beautiful spaces, personal style, cultural trends, destinations, and the understated details that shape a woman’s daily life. Her lens is intimate and observant, with a strong interest in how elegance, identity, and modern living intersect. Through feature writing, interviews, and audio storytelling, Mel weaves spiritual insight with real-world themes of modern womanhood, using media as another sacred space for truth, reflection, and cultural change. Mel is no stranger to publishing. Her family roots trace back to the golden age of books - her grandfather-in-law helped bring Little Golden Books to Australia and was an owner in Doubleday, one of the world’s most respected publishing houses. Storytelling, quite literally, runs in the family.

Mel writes for women who are ready to return to their soul, softness, intuition, and the truth of who they’ve always been. Through her books, courses, and podcast Soft. Grounded. Sacred. Feminine., she offers a devotional exploration of the sacred feminine path - the art of creating, healing, and manifesting through love. Outside of her writing, Mel lives intentionally. She loves early morning Pilates, baking in a sunlit kitchen, gathering peonies in season, journaling, long walks in nature and creating small daily rituals that anchor the soul.
