Melanie ‘Mi Rosen


I have worked across the life spectrum, in a multitude of environments from schools, hospitals, senior homes, to rural mountain villages in Uganda. My practice has taken many forms and has a life of its own! Currently, I work as a consultant with two government programs: Victims Services, which much of the work is with women and children in relation to trauma and the NIHB that offers psychotherapy to those of First Nations Status.
I am comfortable with meeting people where they are at, being curious with them about their own journey and providing tools to support and empower on going personal growth. I am a fan of accessing and listening to intuition with my clients and trust the process as it unfolds.
