Melanie and Ellen met in 2015 while working as Student Success and Wellness Counsellors at Osgoode Hall Law School. Together they developed and taught Osgoode`s first comprehensive mindfulness course in 2017. They co-founded the online Facebook community of WELL: Women Evolving and Leading in Law, dedicated to fostering conversation about the intersections of career and wellbeing. 

In their work as facilitators, Ellen and Melanie foster a safe and open learning environment in which participants easily receive relevant information and practice effective tools to champion their vitality. They value facilitating reflection, curiosity, conversation and experiential activities with participants, while ensuring a space that supports diversity, equity and inclusion.
