Meet Melanie
I’m Melanie — a health and well-being coach who believes you don’t need to start over to move forward.
My work is grounded in listening, curiosity, and compassion. I support people who are capable, thoughtful, and often carrying a lot — people who are doing their best but want to feel more steady, clear, and supported in their day-to-day lives.
In our sessions, we slow things down. We make space to notice what’s really going on, name what matters most, and take small, meaningful steps that actually fit your life. I don’t believe in quick fixes or pushing through — I believe in sustainable change that grows from understanding, not pressure.
I bring over a decade of experience in health coaching, functional nutrition, and behavior change, along with more than 1,200 coaching sessions across private practice and corporate coaching. I’m also completing graduate work focused on leadership, listening, and community well-being — all of which continues to shape how I show up with care and intention.
Above all, my goal is for you to feel heard, grounded, and supported — not managed, judged, or rushed.

What To Expect From Coaching
Well-being coaching is a supportive, collaborative process. It’s a space to slow down, reflect, and gain clarity about what matters most — and to take small, meaningful steps forward that fit your real life.
Coaching is not therapy or medical care. Instead, it focuses on the present and near future, helping you build sustainable rhythms, strengthen self-awareness, and navigate change with greater steadiness and intention.
Our work together is guided by conversation, curiosity, and practical tools — always at a pace that feels supportive rather than overwhelming.
The Wellness Assessment offers a structured way to reflect on your current well-being and can be a helpful starting point for coaching.
