A little about me
Hi I'm Melissa!
I'm a wellness enthusiast. I'm a wife. I'm a mom (to a wonderful human and amazing dog). I'm a nature lover. I'm a ballerina. I'm a cook. I'm a breast cancer survivor.
I've been in this field for over 20 years and I'm constantly learning more and educating myself to ensure my clients get the best of the best when it comes to fitness and wellbeing. I work with your body and lifestyle to ensure the work we do together will be sustainable well beyond our sessions. Together, we'll create a lifestyle that enhances your life and wellbeing - and you'll feel great!
I'm also human, I understand that life is messy and unpredictable. As a mom of a 3-year-old I know that juggling life can be tough, and self-care can often go on the back burner. As a breast cancer survivor, I know that life can change in an instant. My cancer journey was really tough. I lost my breasts, I lost my hair, I had to parent a toddler while going through treatment, but I didn't lose my pride. I fought hard and bounced back even stronger, but it was a journey.
I am here to tell you that you CAN get where you want to be with a little grit, positivity and hard work.
Customized Approach
Wellbeing is a journey, and that journey starts with you. It starts with the life you want to live, how you want to live it, and how you want to feel living it. I can help you get where you want to be and create a lifestyle that is sustainable to your goals. Whether you want to be able to run around with your grandkids pain free, climb a mountain, or recover from that injury - let me help you get there.
