"Melissa was put in my life at the exact moment when I needed her."" Melissa was put in my life at the exact moment when I needed her. She has helped me surpass my goal weight, feel better about myself, eat cleaner and overall live a healthier lifestyle. I’m a different person than who I was before I met Melissa. Yes, I did it myself but I would not have done it without Melissa support, friendship, love (sometimes even tough love!) and accountability. She believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. I’m so thankful Melissa has been on
"Beyond just knowledge, Melissa is accomplished at performing the physical poses""I am one of Melissa's yoga students and really enjoy Melissa's yoga classes. One of her venues is a big fitness center near my neighborhood. She is creative with different types off classes on different days of the week. On Tuesdays, she would present ancient history lessons that would tie to her class themes. Beyond just knowledge, Melissa is also accomplished at performing the physical poses. Her demeanor is very welcoming and uplifting. Her presence is delightful.
"I keep getting stronger and stronger""I am a 60 year old manual therapist with a very busy practice and an important need to stay strong. Leaning over a treatment table all day decreases strength and weakens the core. I tried Pilates for 3 years and continued to have tremendous pain throughout the day despite going twice a week and doing daily mat exercises. I met Melissa and really liked her approach to strengthening. She was so positive, encouraging and very intuitive. I hired her for personal training in my h
"I love how Melissa comes to our house and makes exercise fun!"My kids and I love Melissa! I started personal training with her right after the birth of my third child, about 2 years ago when I was working on getting the baby weight off. I really struggled with getting the last 15 pounds off, but Melissa gave me a lot of advice on healthy eating, and after I changed the way I ate, the weight came off fast. As a physician I have a hectic schedule, and she has always been very flexible with her schedule. My three children always look forwa
“I was taught a new way of life”"I always knew that a healthy outside started from having a healthy inside, but it was not until I met Melissa that I learned exactly what this actually meant. I am a high school senior now preparing to apply for college, but when I started the 8-week program with Melissa, I was just a naive Junior living with ignorance towards how I treat my body. Melissa helped me realize that there is more to life than just mechanically doing what we are told to do (in my case, neglecting
"Melissa is a natural!"I have known Melissa through yoga since 2017. She and I have attended some of the same classes and she has also been a teacher/class leader for me. I am a recently retired, very active, adult. I enjoy swimming laps, weights, walking/jogging/hiking, and snow skiing when available. I also played competitive adult league tennis for 35 years. As I aged, I added yoga to my regimen 10 years ago and have had more instructors than I can remember. I can say unequivocally that Meli
"A transformation to make healthy choices that are sustainable""Melissa is an awesome coach who has helped me with a long overdue lifestyle change. She introduced me to Ayurveda practices and how to make it a part of my daily routine. It was extremely helpful receiving new recipes, meeting weekly to talk about health practices, and her being accessible to answer questions. She showed me that this is not part of a "fad diet" but a transformation to make healthy choices that are sustainable. I recently went a step further and had her h
"Melissa makes that happiness a reality"I met Melissa at the very beginning of my weight loss journey, and she has been a huge factor in my overall growth and success. She will develop a plan that is personalized just for you, and you will see results. For me, those results were not only physical but emotional as well. A major part of my fitness journey was building self-confidence. I lacked a lot of it before I started working with her. However, because Melissa values a conscious lifestyle outside of the gym, her
"It has worked for me miraculously""When we think about weight loss, the first thing comes to anyone’s mind is 'I will have to starve myself' and thanks to internet, we have access to all types of bizarre diets - do’s and don’ts of wight loss. Often the weight loss journey turns out to be frustrating! Before working with Melissa, I tried crazy diets and trust me, they were not long lasting. I used to work hard in gym but always felt guilty indulging in my favorite foods. Melissa does not believe in the conce
