Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.
-Emily Dickinson

First
learn about us
Melisha draws inspiration from her own journey as a single mother who sought to find hope in her own life and overcome adversity. Together with Sue, her horse and therapy partner, she seeks to be a bucket filler that encourages others to embrace themselves fully and completely while increasing self-efficacy and self-esteem.  

​Deena is a lifelong asset to the community of Medicine Hat. Deena’s passion to dig deep and inspire hope developed while working with marginalized populations in homeless initiatives and with women and children fleeing family violence. Deena also draws from her experience with mentoring others in the workplace.
