JoyWork Transform

A fully customizable, hybrid wellness program for people who work in stress-prone environments, such as social service agencies, healthcare facilities, and first responder units.

Whether it is a group of 10 or 100, we can develop a powerful program that suits your needs. Pricing is dependent on the options you choose. Customize your wellness program, choosing from these options:

Online Group Instruction and Coaching Sessions

Live, online group meetings with Melissa, a licensed psychotherapist, trauma expert and mindfulness guide. In these meetings, we dive deeply into the science and practice of transforming workplace stress into workplace wellness. There are lectures, discussions, as well as experiential exercises in each meeting. 

Live group meetings can be structured to suit your employee’s schedules. We can do live sessions, and / or record live sessions for others to view asynchronously. They can be for small or large groups, though the quality of interaction changes considerably the larger the group is.

Individual Coaching

The opportunity to ask me questions directly—for the duration of the coaching period—and receive recorded feedback within a 48-hour period, on weekdays. This option is only available for groups of 12 or fewer. A version of this can be done with larger groups, where I hold office hours and address pre-submitted questions that are reviewed in advance and addressed according to themes of what types of things people are struggling with, curious about or need clarification on.

Brain Science Education

Access to a library of pre-recorded, easy-to-understand videos on topics such as…

  • How human connection plays a central role in managing stress and promoting well-being

  • How food impacts stress (through the influence of the gut microbiome)
