Kathie Melocco

Founder, Wow Chaplaincy

Australia

Kathie Melocco is the founder of WOW – WOW Self Care School. A trained spiritual chaplain, Kathie regularly chaplains to victims of workplace bullying, sexual harassment, domestic and family abuse. Prior to a career change she was a multi award winning PR and Social Justice practitioner. Her focus on Self Care was driven by observing the lack of evidence based Self Care Education and the need for us all to have strategies in place for good times and bad. Self Care is not yoga retreats and bath bombs.

Self care is the ability of individuals, families and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and cope with illness and disability with or without the support of a health worker.

Self care recognizes individuals as active agents in managing their own health care, in areas including health promotion; disease prevention and control; self-medication; providing care to dependent persons, and rehabilitation, including palliative care.

World Health Organisation Definition

The WOW Self Care School framework uses seven core pillars of Self Care all underscored by the foundational module of emotional Self Care.
