“It’s not about perfection. It’s about purpose. We have to care about our bodies and what we put in them. Women have to take the time to focus on our mental health—take time for self, for the spiritual, without feeling guilty or selfish. The world will see you the way you see you, and treat you the way you treat yourself.”
-Beyonce

This program will not yield temporary results, but will set you up for long-lasting success to live your healthiest life.
What is a Transformational wellness Coach and Why do you Need one?
Coaching increases awareness. With increased awareness, you will have the ability to become an observer of your life. Together we will co-create a plan by taking a closer look at your life from the perspective of an “observer” and figure out what your goals are and what obstacles are in the way of achieving ultimate health and happiness. Coaching can help you get in control of your feelings and emotions through awakened awareness, instead of numbing them and running on autopilot. Personalized, 1:1 coaching with me can help you accelerate your transformation and reach your desired dreams. Inside our private coaching container, I will hold space for you and give you the opportunity to make yourself and your health a priority and treat yourself with true loving kindness! This is not about dwelling on past failures, feeling guilty, or unpacking your past. This is about embracing the present, moving forward from where you are now, and making your life exactly what you want it to be!
What people are saying about me...
Jenna
Melissa’s help came at a critical time for me. I have been at a low point in managing my weight and being focused on my overall health. She met with me several times and we discussed challenges, goals, setbacks and successes. Her encouragement and knowledgeable advice were so motivating for me. I knew I needed to make changes, but she was there to help walk me through what they could be and cheer me on along the way. The concept and idea of a health coach was new to me. Working with Melissa during this time allowed me to see how beneficial it would be for many people as well as myself.
Heidi
I have had the pleasure of working with Melissa and would highly recommend her incredible coaching skills to anyone trying to get on track - both mind and body. The biggest changes I have noticed since beginning to work with her have been my attitude, diet, and exercise. Melissa helped me turn my inner negative into positive, peaceful energy to be able to be an active participant in healing my life. I am more grateful, and I’m beginning to lose weight. Melissa was sensitive to my needs, a person who used her knowledge to help my spirit and body. She helped me put my lost puzzle pieces together to grow and heal after being off track for a few years. Her nurturing skills allowed me to find the inner strength to empower myself.
Christina
As I started my meetings with Melissa, my thoughts started to shift. I made a plan for myself. If I wasn’t taking care of myself then how was I going to continue to take care of my kids. She encouraged me to write down my goals, and she encouraged me to find one goal to work with at a time. She spoke to me in a genuine compassionate friendly way making me comfortable to share. Melissa talked to me about my goals and really put my life in perspective. I wrote down my plan to lose some weight and feel healthier again. I gained a new perspective on breathing and really taking responsibility for myself and my plan. Started a meditation with my kids. Ultimately it has to be me. I learned how to forgive myself if I get off track during a holiday because, let’s be honest, life can do that. Melissa is easy to talk to and to be honest with. I’ve benefited from her coaching and would recommend her to my friends that are struggling and need that final push to finding their healing and best life.
Jennifer
My experience working with Melissa was extremely beneficial. She was always very professional, compassionate, and was able to motivate me with obtainable goals. She was able to provide guidance for helping me in different areas that were realistic. Through the process, she shared some things about her life that made me realize that it is okay to struggle and that it is okay to not have a “perfect life.” In the times that we met, I talked to her about a lot of things that I am not satisfied with. She was very calming and optimistic. She was able to break down the big picture to me and help me get back on track one step at a time. Melissa was so genuine and supportive. I was feeling down about some things and she helped me change my mindset and realize that a productive struggle is okay, as long as I am working toward my goals and not giving up. I think that through this process I learned to reconnect with pride in myself. I often get down on myself if I tend to fall off the path I want to be on. Melissa showed me the importance and value in persistence and hitting the reset button. Without any question, I would recommend Melissa’s coaching to anyone looking for personal growth in any area! She is so sweet, authentic, professional, knowledgeable, loving, and encouraging. She is simply the best!
