About Me



Hello!


Have you ever felt like, trying to actually balance work and life is like wobbling around trying to balance like a juggler on a unicycle? If that's balance, then I'll pass on that circus act!

I’m Dr. Melanie Gallo – a certified mental health coach with thousands of hours of coaching experience, publisher of the WorkLifeJoy Blog, creator of the Coach2GO digital coaching app, and a Forbes contributor. As a mental health coach and business psychology Ph.D, I provide support and insights in areas including physical, emotional, and mental well-being, personal and professional development, relationships, and communication in both home and work environments. 

After decades of work, educational, and of course personal experience, I believe that work-life is not as much about achieving balance as it is about navigating through the mental fog that can disrupt our emotional and physical wellness and ultimately our productivity – it's about feeling WorkLifeJoy.


Psychological science provides the foundation for understanding human behavior in both our personal and professional lives. So using methodologies from social & personality psychology, positive psychology, cognitive psychology, and business psychology, I am able to live out my own passion of helping people navigate through the fog within the space where work and life overlap. 


I'm excited that you are here and if you would like to learn more about coaching vs therapy here and how it all works, please feel free to download my Coach2GO app using invite code COACH2GO, schedule a free discovery call, or both! Take care and talk soon!
