Restore Your Health with Functional Medicine Coaching.

Restoring health by addressing root causes and achieving balance in the body, mind, and spirit for lasting wellness.

Are you…

Feeling off?

Dealing with fatigue, digestive issues, weight gain, and more?

And still being told “everything looks normal”?

Then you’ve come to the right place.

I’m Mel, Your Guide to Lasting Wellness.

Drawing on 35 years of experience across healthcare, nursing, and coaching, I will serve as your personal "medical detective." My approach combines deep clinical expertise with the revolutionary principles of functional medicine coaching.

Like many of my clients, I once cycled through countless prescriptions seeking relief. But it wasn't until I discovered functional medicine that I finally found answers - and actual healing.

After experiencing firsthand the limitations of conventional medicine's "band-aid" approach to health, I transformed my own battle with chronic migraines and histamine intolerance into a mission: guiding others toward vibrant, sustainable health.

Today, I partner with clients ready to write a new chapter in their wellness story. When I'm not helping people reclaim their vitality, you'll find me recharging in nature with my camera in hand, traveling to new horizons, or spending quality time with my family (including the furry members).

Let's work together to unlock your body's natural healing potential and help you thrive, not just survive.
