Hi, I'm Melissa

I help people go beyond the gym to pursue lasting health by addressing the mindset, habits, and lifestyle pieces that traditional fitness often misses. My work is for people who are disciplined, consistent, and trying hard, yet feel like something is still missing.

My Turning Point

After having my thyroid removed, I gained over 40 pounds despite doing all the right things. As a personal trainer, I believed discipline alone would fix it, but true healing required something deeper. I had to address my stress, mindset, and relationship with myself.

I kept pushing until I realized I was breaking myself in the name of health. That was the moment everything shifted.

What I Learned

We have all heard that you can’t out train a bad diet. What I also learned is that you can’t out diet chronic stress. Undereating, overtraining, and constantly doing more eventually work against your body, no matter how disciplined you are.

The more I focused on my body image, the more negative I became. When I shifted to appreciating what my body could do, embracing community, and seeing the good in my life, true wellness followed. That shift changed not just my health, but how I live.
