"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Meraki is a not-for-profit community health project that aims to improve the lives of Islanders by creating barrier-free counselling and prevention programs and that address upstream support gaps. We work with at-risk groups and individuals through difficult periods of transition to foster wellbeing and emotional resilience through compassionate self-exploration. Born from the Greek word for doing something with soul, creativity, or love, 'Meraki' perfectly encapsulates our philosophy — to infuse heartfelt passion into every aspect of our "work"; whatever that word has come to mean to you.
Meraki currently offers group-based workshops, an individualized reflective writing program, and affordable counselling services for individuals and couples. We are currently developing a full-service retreat space that aims to soon provide groups with a nurturing space to unwind, disconnect, and turn inward.

The reflective writing program really challenged me and helped me to understand and accept my circumstances in a way that I'd been fighting. Thank you for asking the tough questions and helping me to get out of the stuck place I was in.
Sarah H.
I came across Mikey's profile during a really difficult period in my relationship and was feeling really lost and hopeless. He quickly made me feel less ashamed and embarrassed and helped me find the tools to navigate my situation with more open honesty.
Jesse N.
Throughout our sessions, Mikey consistently created a safe space for introspection, and I wholeheartedly appreciated his insights, gentle guidance, and encouragement.
