testimonial: 

"I completed 6 nutritional therapy sessions with Melissa and it was life-changing. I have always eaten “healthy” but was also a big-time victim to diet culture, restriction, and putting a moral value on food. How I was raised played a huge role in my relationship with food and my fat phobia. Once I had a daughter of my own, I realized I have to fix my relationship with food so I can break the cycle. I’m not going to lie, unlearning the bad habits was hard! But I did it and only because of Melissa’s wisdom, compassion, patience, and dedication to helping me work through the process. Relearning was easy! Again, only because of Melissa’s knowledge, encouragement and positive teachings. With my new relationship with food, I have more energy, more understanding of why I eat what I eat, I sleep better, my digestion has massively improved, and I eat the F*#!&@G BUN WITH THE BURGER! I am free, I am in control, and I owe it all to Melissa. Now, I proudly pass along my relationship with food to my daughter. Thank you, Melissa!"

What people are saying about working with Melissa:

"Melissa changed my life in a way I didn’t think was possible. After working with her, I am stronger than I have ever been and have more energy than I have had in YEARS. It is amazing what meeting your body’s specific nutritional needs can do! She is magical- she created a plan for me that was easy to build into my daily routine. She has such a warm, healing, and supportive energy and I am forever grateful for her. She cheered me on as I met my goals and guided me to overcome barriers. The plan she made was specific to my body- based on a thorough questionnaire and client interview. Every body needs different fuel and I could see how much she enjoyed figuring out the puzzle that is mine (she is an expert and is clearly passionate about what she does). Such an asset to our community!"

“I really enjoyed working with Melissa! She’s so down-to-earth and helped me set realistic goals. She breathed new life into my health journey and I’m very grateful I met her!”

 

“The most valuable part of working with Melissa is that she listened SO thoughtfully. My experience was made richer by her awareness to what was happening in my body and her thoughtful and insightful questions. The CranioSacral Massage was very helpful as well and eased tension that I had been feeling for a long while. The supplements and protocols that Melissa suggested were rooted in both her recommendation and also taking my preferences and lifestyle into consideration.”

 

“Loved the food journal and the before and after survey that gathered the information for the graphs and gave us a map of where we needed to focus.”

 

“I felt like the goal-setting held me accountable. I also loved all the suggestions for vitamins and products I wouldn’t have known about otherwise.”

Hi! I'm Melissa!

My years as a Massage Therapist and Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner have given me valuable insight into common patterns of dysfunction with food and our bodies, plus intuitive ways of hearing what the body is trying to communicate.

I help women connect to their inner knowing through craniosacral massage combined with Transformational Eating to let go of limiting beliefs around food and their body.

This decreases confusion about what to eat and when, and releases them from toxic diet culture and dogma.

My training in Nutritional Therapy gives me tools to see nutritional deficiencies plus ways to support them, all through goals that are designed for your life, as it is right now.

I'm a Mother and wife, lover of the outdoors who relishes waking up in the woods and can't stop staring at the sky, a light gardener, an avid reader, a rock collector, and I continue to grow as a cook. A diagnosis of celiac disease shook things up for me in 2016, and I am happily thriving after finding the blessing in it all.
