Melinda (also known as Dr. Selah) is the founder of Selah Life Coach, helping clients around the world rediscover clarity, courage, and renewal for their next chapter. With advanced degrees in psychology and education — and decades of experience in teaching, counseling, and ministry — she brings both professional depth and heartfelt compassion to her work.
Her story is one of resilience: doctors once told her parents she would not survive infancy, yet she has lived a full life as a wife, mother, grandmother, educator, and coach. Married nearly 35 years, she and her husband now celebrate a life renewed through recovery and faith. Her own journey with Al-Anon grounds her in calmness and perspective, which she now shares with clients worldwide.
Outside her work, Melinda enjoys gardening, yoga, and time with her grandchildren — from pool days and s’mores by the fire to SeaWorld trips and board games. A lover of history, travel, and storytelling, she especially treasures her visits to Scotland, where her ancestral roots run deep.
