Hi, I’m Melanie
A Board-Certified Functional
Medicine Health Coach
It started for me the way it starts for many moms - I was searching for answers to my daughter’s health struggles with steadfast determination. We had been given plenty of “band-aids” along the route of traditional medical suggestions to squelch the symptoms, but no clarity around the cause.
While the journey continues, she’s in a much healthier place thanks to functional nutritionists & integrated physicians who took a holistic approach to her health. From this experience, I developed an insatiable desire to learn all that I could. I received my functional medicine health coaching certification from the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy.
Life was good - my daughter was feeling well, I was supporting other moms and women along their winding health journeys.… and then….
I was pulled under by a wave of debilitating insomnia, anxiety, gastrointestinal distress, and nervous system dysregulation. My root cause turned out to be a perfect storm of hormonal changes and mold toxicity.
I became my own client, advocate, and coach, following supplement protocols, making dietary changes, and adding meditation, yoga, pilates, and LOTS of hiking & walking into my lifestyle!
Allowing space for time in nature, regulating my nervous system, focusing on nutrition, letting go of the constant need to be productive, and giving myself permission to restore are all part of my healing journey.
With clarity of direction, I’m in a much better place, a place where I want to help you arrive so that you, too, can live the fulfilling life you desire.
Health and wellness are not linear but spiral. We will land in different places on our health spiral, and we are never the same person. Along the way, we gain valuable insights and create shifts in our behaviors and our minds that move us forward.
Having a greater perspective and even more resources to share with clients are two benefits from my recent health journey. There is not one solution for everyone. Our health puzzles are all very unique.
As a board-certified functional medicine health coach, my mission is to help you put those pieces together so that you can live with vitality. I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your personal health journey.
