A Self-Paced Program with LIVE Coaching Calls

Meet Melissa, SafeSpace Institute Founder
Hear From Our Students

Everyday we witness the impact SafeSpace is having on the lives of each of our students

Being a woman in tech is very hard. I've worked my way all the way up to executive leadership. Before working with SafeSpace I was new to leadership and full of impostor syndrome. Seeing my male counterparts get promoted over and over was hard. I was close to the edge at the expense of myself.

Finding this program taught me I was carrying tons of emotional trauma and helped me learn what I was feeling in my body and my heart.

This has brought a beautiful side of my leadership where people want to follow me - it's not just the strategic plan, it's being able to hold space and be with others, too.

Jodi Barthel, Head of Product


I can’t say enough about SafeSpace Institute and Melissa Lapides! It didn’t take long for me to realize that I was having some of the very same issues in my professional life as I was in my personal life as well – crazy right?

 

Never in my wildest dreams would I have traced these issues back to childhood trauma. 


 Hell, I didn’t even think I suffered any! I realized that in my entire life,I was always looking for validation from others. Melissa helped me find it within and it's been a true game-changer. 


Although I am still at the beginning of this new journey – I can’t wait to see what the future holds.


- Dan Williams, Attorney and Shareholder Gordon and Partners, P.A.


“57% of U.S. workers reported feeling daily stress, up by eight percentage points from the prior year." (Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace: 2021 Report)

I work as an analyst in the corporate world and anyone who works in that environment knows how toxic and draining the atmosphere can become. 

 The psycho-education Melissa provides within this program has influenced how I communicate with and work with ALL people in my life, not just my clients. 


When I'm dealing with a difficult person or situation at work, it's much easier now to diffuse the situation, rather than contribute the escalation of feelings and frustrations. 

 

Overall, I can say my working relationships have gradually improved as this program has progressed and it is a direct result of all of the work and knowledge that makes up this program. Personally, I would love to see ALL corporate managers become trauma-informed.


Katie G, Analyst

Does any of this sound Familiar?

You are constantly giving and know your mental health is slowly deteriorating but aren’t sure how to tackle it with everything else on your plate 

 You deal with so many different personalities and don’t know how to navigate them all and draw healthy boundaries 

 You care so much about your team and want to lead the way you know you're capable of but after taking what seems like every leadership training out there, you still feel like something’s missing

You’re exactly where you need to be.

Hear from our client Jacob about his experience with SafeSpace Institute who learned to communicate better, which increased productivity with his team.

Become a Trauma-Informed Leader Today for ONLY $5,000

Joining this program has been an amazing investment for my business and myself. I joined because I was looking for a way to make sure I was being ethical in holding space. I’ve been noticing over the last couple years peoples trauma has been coming up with increased intensity and it was getting harder for me to not take on some of this energy. So not only am I getting practical ways to be with my patients and clients but I’m also learning on a deeper level how to be with myself in a loving and compassionate way so I can show up more powerfully. I’ve done years of inner work but this program is still allowing for me to go even deeper with an unbelievable support system in Melissa and the other women in the program. I highly recommend taking this program!
