Myrna McCallum

Host of the Trauma-Informed Lawyer Podcast & co-founder of Feather Walk Inc.

Our second annual Transform Your Practice Pro D Retreat for all professionals of diverse backgrounds will be held in Whistler, BC from September 26-28, 2024. Please click the Whistler Retreat link at the top of the page for the agenda and registration details.

Myrna also offers the transformational LoveBack ProD Course for Indigenous Professionals and LoveBack: Addressing Indigenous Trauma and Healing in Community workshops.

LoveBack Vancouver and LoveBack Saskatoon for Indigenous professionals were incredibly successful, therapeutic and inspirational experiences for participants so we have decided to offer two more LoveBack Pro D courses in 2024. For Indigenous community health and wellness leaders, please contact Jen at jennifer@myrnamccallum.co to invite Myrna to bring LoveBack: Addressing Indigenous Trauma and Healing to your community. So far, we have brought this workshop to Akwesasne, the Kenora Justice Centre & Grand Council Treaty #3, Ahousaht First Nation, We Wai Kum First Nation and the We Wai Kai First Nation.

Please note, all LoveBack programs are exclusively for Indigenous people only and their communities.

Working with Myrna

  • “Collaborating with Myrna McCallum to bring her incredible trauma-informed training for legal professionals and service providers throughout Newfoundland and Labrador was one of the highlights of our year. Learning from Myrna was a masterclass in authenticity, advocacy and self-reflection.”

    — Janet Lee - Legal Support Navigator (The Journey Project)

  • “The Trauma-Informed Lawyering session that Myrna presented to Yukon Legal Aid was wide in its scope and specific and detailed in its teaching. She provided a background on how personal and systemic trauma can affect clients. counsel and everyone else working within the justice system and went on to detail specific tools for dealing with that trauma. It was an intense session but Myrna’s knowledge of the subject and the authentic way in which she delivered it - a product of her lived experience - ensured that it was accessible to everyone. We all left better equipped to help our clients and to help ourselves”

    — Lesley M.

  • “I just wanted to thank you for your moving keynote speech…attendees clearly thought you were inspirational. The work that we do can be so difficult and ending the conference with your acknowledgment of how the trauma of our clients can trigger our own was powerful.”

    — Kelly D. Jordan - Co-Chair 16th Family Law Summit

  • “Myrna’s Trauma Informed Lawyer training session was one of the best I have taken, on any subject. Even in an online format, Myrna created a comfortable, safe space for the participants , and provided clear explanations and information about how trauma impacts not just clients but also counsel. Myrna gave practical, relatable examples of how to practice in a compassionate and trauma-informed manner.”
