Dr. Mellor has a background in educational psychology and has spent her career examining human development from a systems-thinking and holistic approach. She has taught courses in education, psychology and human development at the University of Arizona, Pima Community College, Palomar College, Umpqua Community College, MiraCosta, and CSUSM. Early childhood education (ECE) has always been a passion and Dr. Mellor believes when children are able to realize their true potential, they can accomplish incredibly sophisticated tasks. She believes ECE is the most important sector in our nation. In our ever-changing digital world, it is not far-fetched to estimate that a good portion of future career opportunities have yet to be invented. Preparing children to navigate the unknown requires quality care from quality educators. Dr. Mellor also believes it is impossible for educators to provide quality care if they don’t care for themselves – we can’t pour from an empty cup. <\/span>When Dr. Mellor isn’t teaching, she’s helping educators, families and children enhance their overall health and well-being with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine at her energy medicine practice, HealingLux<\/a>, located in Poway. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
