The October Hour
a personal odyssey into wellness
About the Creator
Dr. Madeline Kay has spent the last decade on an expedition undertaking the philosophical teachings and professional trainings of clinical and organizational psychology. Specializing in whole-person wellness and the resuscitation of the inner child's dreams, Dr. Kay has created a healing practice that utilizes evidence-based techniques with the restorative art of human connection. The October Hour took many years to develop and thus, remains a precious and exclusive experience set apart from other therapeutic and organizational practices. Within The October Hour, Dr. Kay aims to cultivate purpose and empower creativity with an emphasis on individualization and relatability, which drives performance enhancement throughout one's life and within organizations. This growth process focuses on constructing a personalized space for individuals to explore themselves and their world in a unique, safe way, as well as for leaders to unlock industry potential.
