Hi, Im Melanie! I am a student and teacher of the human condition. My work as a trauma therapist, my personal healing journey and spirituality have been my source(s) of wisdom. I believe we all have everything we need to heal inside of us. My role as a therapist and fellow human, is to provide space and opportunity to help others connect back to this internal wisdom. We are our own healers!

I'm excited to contribute to this project and help create a deeper conversation around mental health and how humor can be both a mask to our pain and a way through it. I hope these conversations resonate and you enjoy them as much as we did! Much love - Melanie
