emerge/flourish

May it be generous and generative for generations.

Hi, I’m Mitzi Melaine (she/they). I am a healing-centered organizational development consultant and embodied leadership coach. I created emerge/flourish from the belief that care is integral to our collective liberation. I offer supports for inner renewal alongside strategy for emergent, complex times.

I accompany founders, executive leaders, and organizational teams through times of tension, transition, and transformation with grounding and care.

My most generative partnerships and collaborations have been with visionary founders, change agents, waymakers and the organizational communities they are within. Leaders who have worked with me experience relief in not being alone with the challenges they are facing; they have a reliable, insightful guide. They come away with clarity of vision, a deepened sense of self, and a connection to something greater than themselves to sustain their leadership journey.

“the seeds are in the compost

the ancestors are in the soil

our love is older than any wall

the roots break through”
