Dr. MC’s Self-Care Cabaret, LLC.

Theresa Melito-Conners, PhD (Dr. MC), CEO and Founder of Dr. MC’s Self-Care Cabaret, LLC, is thrilled to join Seaside Educational Consultants in a partnership as we embark on a new school year. Dr. MC’s Self-Care Cabaret is a suite of theatre-inspired self-care and professional development services for leaders and teachers. The Self-Care Cabaret encompasses workshops, a podcast, and educational curricula — focused on accessible, realistic strategies that equip and empower.

Dr. MC first recognized the need for such strategies as a special education administrator. She realized individuals in people-first, service-oriented roles often struggle with prioritizing self-care and work-life balance and lack resources. Curious, Dr. MC pursued her PhD in educational leadership from Lesley University, honing in on self-care and renewal for leaders and teachers. In addition to her doctorate and published research, she is a licensed K-12 counselor with a Master of Education degree in school counseling from Salem State University and a BA in theatre studies from Emerson College. Her true joy is bringing her scholarship, experience, and zest to audiences of all kinds nationwide.

Dr. MC is a regular guest on high-profile podcasts and publications such as Nike and Today.com. She has a growing social community @DrMCselfcare on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn and lives in Massachusetts.
