LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet Melanie Rowland

As a Certified Trauma-Informed Coach, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative it can be to uncover the hidden wounds of trauma and learn how to regulate and understand the nervous system. This isn’t just theory for me - it's personal. Having navigated my own challenges and transitions in life, I understand how stress, trauma, and overwhelm can keep us from showing up fully.

That’s why I’m so passionate about helping others build resilience and emotional well-being. Combining my own life experience with my professional training, I work with individuals to create spaces where they feel safe and supported to heal and grow. Through my partnership with The Mental Wellbeing Company, I’m committed to spreading this knowledge across Calgary and beyond, helping individuals and communities thrive.

I’m a Certified Trauma-Informed Coach with an ICF and CPD accredited Somatic Trauma-Informed Coaching Certification, and I’m part of the Trauma-Informed Professional Network, the fastest-growing global community of trauma-informed professionals. This training has given me the skills to lead transformative workshops and 1:1 coaching sessions, focused on prioritizing the mental health and well-being of your team or yourself.

My mission is to empower individuals and organizations to step into their fullest potential, embracing growth, resilience, and authentic well-being. I believe that by creating environments where people can be supported in their journey toward self-discovery and mastery, they’ll not only overcome challenges, but become their best selves. Whether you're looking to enhance your personal well-being or foster a culture of growth within your team, I’m here to guide you in building the practical skills and mindset needed for lasting, meaningful change.
