Dr. Melissa Bird is a descendant of the Shivwits Band of Paiutes. She is an internationally recognized lay preacher, author, healer, and podcaster. Dr. Bird has spent nearly 3 decades teaching workshops on spiritual and social justice and revolution. Her combination of education, real life experience and practical advice makes her a powerful force of change in the lives of the people she connects with. Past audience members have described her speaking as “fierce,” “revelatory,” “life-changing,” “enthusiastic,” and “inspirational.”
Dr. Bird creates the genesis for a new brand of leadership and graceful revolution. She inspires personal understanding through contemplation, helps people use their intuition to change their lives and communities, and encourages the healing of grief and loss through spiritual connection. Her words awaken revolutionaries, trailblazers, and powerful innovators who are seeking deeper connection and expansive growth. She is the host of The Thinnest Veil podcast and the author of SAGE Guide to Social Work Careers: Your Journey to Advocacy, and the co-author of the best-selling book Women Connected in Wisdom: Stories and Resources Rooted in the 8 Dimensions of Wellness. You can purchase her eBook “Love Notes and Prayers: Guidance for the Soul” anywhere eBooks are sold.
When she’s not working, Melissa can be found reading while drinking Earl Grey tea with heavy cream or making needle-felted dolls, because who doesn’t need to stab things over and over these days? She lives in Corvallis, Oregon, with her husband, three children, two dogs, and one three-legged cat.
