About this speaker
Melanie Pensak, M.S. CCC-SLP, CMT-P, is a Certified Mindfulness Teacher and Grief Educator with a decade of experience guiding individuals and groups through meditation and nature connection in trauma-informed practices. She runs Meditation for CIRS, a weekly mindfulness-based meditation class and membership for folks recovering from CIRS. She also created The Heart of CIRS Podcast and CIRS Healing Grief Circles seeing a need for storytelling and emotional support offerings for folks navigating the illness.
Melanie offers peer-to-peer CIRS support calls as well as mentoring sessions for those recovering from CIRS who wish to process their journey through the lens of mindfulness and compassion. Mentoring sessions incorporate personalized meditations, somatic inquiry, problem solving and mind-body support specific to the CIRS patient's challenges. Some call Melanie their "emotional/spiritual coach."
Her professional background also includes two decades practicing in healthcare as a speech-language pathologist. Melanie's deep curiosity for the body propelled her to become a Shoemaker Proficiency Partner Diplomate and continue studies through A4M's Breakthroughs in CIRS training.
Melanie survived a significant presentation of CIRS and worked through deep grief and emotional healing through recovery. Rooted in an embodied understanding of the unique challenges the illness brings, she is committed to combining personalized emotional, spiritual and scientific support to those healing from CIRS.
