About Dr. Melissa Jay

Who is Dr. Melissa Jay...

Tân'si, Hello! 

Be who you needed when you were younger.
This message guides me.

As an Indigenous woman, Nehiyaw member of the Métis Nation of Alberta, it is a joy to walk alongside incredible souls who are dedicated to self-awareness & community care. My daily eight limb yoga practice support me in allowing truth (satya) to flow and deepen my lifelong yoga studentship. I honour my ᓀᐦᐃᔭᐍ Nehiyawe (Cree) culture, by learning to speak Nehiyawe, sitting with Elders/Knowledge Keepers, and decolonizing myself by infusing spirit into all that I do.

Psychology and Yoga have transformed my life. I love sharing my learnings, curiosities, and practices with anyone who would like to deepen their understanding of yoga and trauma-informed teachings. This school is dedicated to supporting students in integrating a trauma-informed yoga psychology approach and living authentically. From a nurturing attachment-based approach, we will explore how to integrate yoga and psychology, on and off the mat. As a psychologist & assistant professor, I have the privilege of destigmatizing mental health through offering accessible yoga, workshops, & contributing to academic literature/research #nerdalert

Cannot wait to learn and, most importantly, unlearn, with you!
With goodness,
Dr. Melissa Jay (she/her)
