Our Story
H.E.R. Academy, LLC.
Founded in 2024 by Melissa Dawn
It started when she hosted "The Healing Room" every 2nd Monday, and the women attending began needing more one-on-one healing and mentorship — that need led her to launch H.E.R. Academy, LLC.
The academy serves those seeking Emotional Intelligence development, healing, mentorship, and/or group coaching. To meet demand, Melissa began offering 1-on-1 coaching sessions and bi-weekly group coaching sessions.
After a little over a year, she built out an SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) curriculum — originally to serve group coaching clients, later expanded into a curriculum for female students from elementary through high school.
The academy is now growing and scaling to meet generations where they are.
