My name is Surya Leigh Mellor, RP, MFA, MPS. I am a Registered Psychotherapist, artist, and sound practitioner. In addition to my psychotherapy practice in Walkerton at the historic Walker House, I also welcome clients and community into Whole Life Studio, my home studio north of Durham.

Whole Life Studio is a spacious, light-filled environment set within a cedar forest. It serves as both a therapy space and a community gathering place. In my psychotherapy work, I draw on somatic therapy, sound as a therapeutic tool, art-based processes, and integrative trauma-responsive approaches. Sessions at the Studio allow for movement, creative engagement, and embodied practices that complement and deepen the therapeutic process.

The Studio is also a home for community offerings — sound baths, workshops, and kirtan. These gatherings are guided by the values of belonging, creative expression, and restorative practice. They provide an opportunity to pause, connect, and renew through sound and shared experience.

Through both psychotherapy and community practice, my vision for Whole Life Studio is to hold space where connection, presence, and wholeness can be experienced and lived.
