Being Human Club

Healing isn’t about being happy all the time or feeling nothing at all. It’s about allowing yourself to fully feel what’s appropriate - sadness after loss, anger at injustice, joy when it comes - and trusting that you can return to yourself afterward.

The ability to feel deeply and come back to rest isn’t weakness. It’s health. It’s resilience. It’s being human.

She’s officially back! 🎉 After some time away on maternity leave, Registered Social Worker and OG BHC team member Michelle is excited to announce her return to Being Human Club!

Michelle is currently accepting new and returning clients as she gets back into the swing of things!

Michelle works one on one with adults and teens (13+), utilizing an individualistic approach to therapy because she strongly believes there’s no “one size fits all” in this work.
With specialized training in the areas of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addictions, ADHD, and trauma, Michelle tailors sessions with a focus on feeling, understanding, and addressing root concerns.
Michelle believes it’s important to work with both the mind and body in sessions, and utilizes multiple interventions, including both EMDR & ART.
If you’re looking for a therapist who brings her personality (hello humour!) and humanity into each session, Michelle might be the right fit for you. Be prepared to laugh and cry all in one session!

So, if you’re one of Michelle’s previous humans, or interested in connecting with Michelle for the first time, you can reach out through Being Human Club or can contact mivawellness directly to book in.

Welcome back Michelle, we missed you!

Due to the urgent city-wide water restrictions in Calgary, we’re making a few temporary changes to help conserve water.

For now, we’ll be offering folks beverages in compostable cups provided by monogramco and pausing reusable cup options, in an attempt to reduce water associated with dishwashing as much as possible.

This is a short-term measure to support the city during this emergency. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us all do our part 💧

It’s devastating and infuriating to see the UCP invoke the notwithstanding clause to restrict the rights of Two-Spirit, transgender, and gender-diverse people in Alberta. This isn’t just policy — it’s a deliberate act of harm that tells marginalized people their identities are negotiable. These decisions fuel fear, isolation, and mental health crises in communities already carrying more than their share of trauma.

Being Human Club is a proudly trans-affirming space. We stand with our 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and we refuse to let this moment pass in silence.

TAKE ACTION: Speak up. Share this. Call your MLA. Support local q***r and trans-led organizations. Check in on your friends. Your voice matters — and collective action is how we protect one another.
