Hi, I’m Melissa.
I help OTs to bridge their clinical skills with the online space in a way that's both rewarding AND sustainable.
Working online and offering virtual products + services doesn't mean letting go of your holistic, client-centred approach to therapy. It simply means learning to use technology to have a bigger impact, while leveraging your time.
Just getting started? Check out this short video where I take you through the most common digital products for therapists, including the pros and cons!
Fact: Working online means doing things differently.
It means re-evaluating your relationship with time and perfectionism.
It means stretching your comfort zone and learning new things.
It means *gasp* showing up confidently on video, where you inadvertently have to talk about yourself.
Working online also means developing a marketing system and a sales mechanism. It means tracking numbers. It also means taking a closer look your relationship with time, money and success.
Am I making you uncomfortable yet?
Don't worry... One of my super powers is to simplify what needs to be done as you transition to the online space, while making this process FUN. Whether you're wanting to do this as a side gig OR as your full time thing, I can help!
I regularly connect with other OTs around the globe for informal video chats (i.e. virtual coffee dates). If you'd like to join me for a coffee date, check out my schedule and sign up!
If you're looking for a relationship-based, client-centered approach for working in the online space, this is the place for you. Trust me when I say you don't have to do this alone!
I offer high performance coaching and consulting to a select number of OTs each quarter, by application only. Please note that we currently have a waitlist of 6-8 weeks.
I'm an OT-turned consultant and business strategist, supporting other therapists in entrepreneurship and personal growth.
After practicing as a rural paediatric therapist for 7 years, I left my full time job and started my own business. I offered a combination of consulting to other health professionals, 1:1 cash-based women's health services, group programs and community workshops. I was a true generalist without a defined niche and I knew that something had to give if I wanted this to be more than an expensive hobby.
In 2018, I made the decision to hang up my clinical hat and go all in with my online coaching and consulting services. And what a journey it’s been!
"After joining this community, I have so much more confidence in what I'm doing as I establish my business and bring my vision to a reality. I love so many things about being a member - the strong sense of community, the genuine care and support of each other, as well as the friendships that have grown from our shared experiences. It's also a great go-to for business ideas and resources!"

"Since working with Melissa, I’ve gotten better at defining my boundaries, building confidence, stepping out of my comfort zone and pursuing professional growth opportunities I would have been too intimidated to attempt before… I love that she’s able to relate to clinicians with personal examples that she has encountered with relation to common struggles that therapists are encountering when entering this field. If you’re on the fence, I encourage you to take the plunge and sign up. You won’t regret it and you’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish!"

"This community is filled with so many amazing like-minded therapists, information and resources! As a member, I’ve gotten more clarity on how digital products fit into my practice and what areas of professional development I want to focus on. Melissa is real, she knows her stuff and she has the OT clinical experience, which I love. She seems to understand my journey, what I need and where I want to go. With her enthusiasm and her connections from all over the world, I’m feeling so supported on this journey!"
