I'm a dietitian with a passion for both nutrition and adventure! I believe that it's *impossible* to be sad while drinking an iced latte, and that your health and fitness goals can coexist amidst life's chaos.

All about Melissa
work with me
Your crazy schedule isn't an excuse to put your goals on the back burner.
And carbs? Essential.
You don't have to cut out foods you love to lose weight.
There's never a "bad time" to start working on your health and fitness.
I believe:
In fact, I actually wanted to be a photographer [thanks, dad, for suggesting I take a year to think about it ;)].
Have you ever felt like your schedule [let's be honest, life in general] is constantly getting in the way of you achieving your health and fitness goals? You feel like you just don't have the time to commit to yourself to lose weight and you have no idea where to even start, especially with all the BS you see online?
Yeah, I did too. But there comes a time when you have to tell yourself "IT'S OK TO PUT ME FIRST AND STOP MAKING EXCUSES." You can achieve your dream body while working 40+ hours a week and living your life.
I didn't set out to be a nutrition coach.
My mission to empower women to rock their health journey while embracing the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
As a dietitian,
I'm here to empower you to take your health into your own hands and put yourself first for once.
I'll show you how to balance your health and fitness goals while conquering a crazy schedule. Learn how to enjoy life's pleasures while prioritizing self-care and healthy habits.
We're going to get to the root cause of why you're not seeing results. I'm going to tell you the truth, even when it's hard.
EMPOWERMENT.
BALANCE.
HONESTY.
I'M ALL ABOUT
I dove headfirst into nutrition science, became a Registered Dietitian in 2018, and vowed to help women like you and me ditch the dieting drama. No more sacrificing the foods we love or falling for bogus internet hacks.
I'm here to empower you with real, science-backed strategies for sustainable weight loss, all while enjoying life to the fullest.
THE WHOLE ORDEAL SPARKED A FIRE IN ME.
Picture this: I hit rock bottom after a rough breakup in college and decided to hit the gym hard, aiming for that "revenge body" - cliche, I know.
I went all out - extreme dieting, endless cardio, the whole shebang. Sure, I looked great on the outside, but inside, I was a mess.
Fast forward a few months post-competition, and I was in a downward spiral. The weight I lost came back with a vengeance, and then some. Talk about feeling like a failure. I tried everything to shed those pounds again, from crazy diets to waist trainers, you name it.
I know the struggle of weight loss and battling with food demons firsthand.
SO, HOW DID I GET HERE?
BUT HERE'S THE KICKER:
