⁣
Did you know there’s a therapy that supports BOTH you and your child?⁣
⁣

⁣
If you’re in Chesapeake or Hampton Roads and wondering whether PCIT might help your family, we just published a new blog explaining what it is, how it works, and who it helps.⁣

Wellness Wednesday – Protect Your Peace

You are allowed to say no. You are allowed to take space. You are allowed to protect your peace without apologizing. Healthy boundaries are a form of self-respect.

#WellnessWednesday #ProtectYourPeace #HealthyBoundaries #MelioraWellness #SelfRespect #ChesapeakeVA

Before you start your day, take one minute just to breathe.

Feel your shoulders drop, your thoughts slow down, and your peace return.

Meet the Therapists at Meliora Wellness & Harmony.

At Meliora, we believe connection starts with getting to know the people who are here to support you.

Meet Emma, and Reese - two compassionate therapists dedicated to helping clients heal, grow, and find balance.

Each brings their own unique experience, passion, and warmth to our practice, and together they make Meliora a space where everyone feels seen and supported.

We’re kicking things off with something close to our hearts. Our very first gathering wasn’t about business, it was about family. The Meliora Wellness & Harmony team came together with loved ones for a special meet and greet, celebrating the people who support us behind the scenes.

Because when we care for each other, we’re even better at caring for our community.
