Loving the work we do! FYI-yes I’m the Melanie Findlay on the panel. They couldn’t fit my whole name apparently 😕 but that’s okay ‘cause my will still represent!

When you use your voice you best believe that you are saying what someone who hasn’t found theirs yet, is struggling to say. Let’s be courageous TOGETHER!

Trauma is not only the physical assault of our body. Racism’s most insidious crime is its assault on our spirit, our worth, our ability and our being; the endless nightmare we have yet to be awoken from. Physical wounds eventually heal and we get used to the scars as time helps us forget the pain. Emotional wounds can be different. They don’t scab; they can stay fresh and be easily re-injured. Don’t allow me to be used to that. I promise to return the favor.

Because life moves so fast, there are days when the best guidance I can offer my patients is to take a second to disconnect and....just breathe.

Too often we question and second guess what we feel and experience. On the other hand, owning these feelings can open up a broader frame of understanding and insight. Don’t cheat yourselves or allow anyone to cheat you from this level of elevation!
