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 Dr. Mel, Your Guide to Lasting Wellness.
Hello. I’m here to help you rediscover what it means to feel truly well.
With over 35 years of experience in healthcare, nursing, and coaching, I bring both heart and science to our work together. I blend the wisdom of holistic and functional wellness with a compassionate, personalized approach - serving not just as a guide, but as your wellness partner and health detective.
Like many of the clients I now serve, I spent years searching for answers, cycling through prescriptions and conventional protocols that offered little more than temporary relief. It wasn’t until I found functional and holistic medicine that everything changed. Through that lens, I was finally able to heal my chronic migraines and histamine intolerance and in doing so, I found my calling.
Now, it’s my mission to help others step out of survival mode and into lasting vitality. I work with individuals who are ready to take their health into their own hands, to understand the root causes of their symptoms and create real, sustainable change.
Outside of my practice, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors with my camera, traveling to new places in nature, and cherishing time with my family (fur babies included).
If you’re ready for a deeper kind of wellness, one that honors your story, your biology, and your goals - I’d be honored to walk that path with you.
