I have more than 20 years of experience helping others navigate, as well as thrive, in the midst of life's imperfect moments.

Hi! I'm Dr. Mekel Harris!

The book, published in summer 2016, is a series of reflections on moments experienced from the day I received the news of her Stage IV cancer diagnosis to years after she died.  It’s a heartfelt expression of the emotional, physical, and spiritual highs and lows I faced (and continue to face) along grief’s unpredictable path.

I wrote Relaxing Into the Pain: My Journey Into Grief & Beyond to share my grief journey following the death of my beloved mother, Patricia Anne Harris, in December 2012.

The Book

Throughout the past decade, I’ve had the pleasure of speaking in front of groups and corporate audiences around the globe, as well as publishing articles on various mental health topics.
