Melissa Steginus portrait

My background

A lifelong advocate of intentionality, I’m passionate about helping people lead self-aware, empowered, and fulfilling lives.

Background:

A certified coach with a formal background in social work, my career began with a decade of mental health service delivery, policy reform, and community development. My work and research spanned three continents, including a number of international aid projects in South Africa.

Wanting to work on a global scale in a sustainable way, I shifted into coaching and teaching online in 2015. I also authored Self Care at Work and Everyday Mindfulness to share the practices I used to support myself and my clients over the years.

Approach:

I now work to equip individuals and organizations with tools for emotional intelligence, healthy productivity, and mindful leadership. My person-centred approach emphasizes practical action and integration to bring you meaningful results.

Empowerment

Every individual is the expert of their life and has authority over their decisions. Take ownership of yours while inspiring and equipping others to do the same.

Integration bridges the gap between knowledge and practice. Taking simple, practical steps to apply what you learn is the path to meaningful, lasting change.
