I started with Mel in hopes to love myself more and hopefully learn to live a healthier lifestyle after years of struggling with “all or nothing” mindsets, negative self talk / beliefs and struggling to stick to workout plans and meal plans.
The past few weeks with Mel have changed my mindset in ways I could have never imagined. I feel connected to myself again for the first time in years, more confident in my body, more at peace with my choices and overall happier than I was when I began only a month ago. I can already feel the changes within and can’t wait to see what the future holds. I’m so thankful for this program - it truly changed my life.

"Working with Mel has surprised and astonished me in the best possible way.
I came to her to work on my relationship with myself, my body image, my body/food/movement, and my overall happiness in life. I have experienced a mindfulness evolution that has already – and continues to - change the way I see myself, my relationship with my body/body image, and my life in profoundly amazing ways. I finally feel free from spending almost all of my time (previously) consumed by thoughts of my body/food, which I honestly wasn't sure was possible. I am finally infusing movement into my day in a way that feels natural and enjoyable versus full of pressure/perfectionism.
If you believe in mindfulness and self-healing as I do, I can’t imagine a better practitioner and teacher than Mel. She truly puts her heart and soul into her work, and it shows; she’s authentic and hilarious and I’m so grateful to be working with her!"

My wife and I worked with Melanie for one year and the results were simply...transformative. It's not an overstatement to say that she changed our lives.
What do I mean? Did we lose all of the weight we wanted to lose - yes, and we lost a LOT. Did we get stronger and leaner than we ever had been before - yes, and we ended up being fitter than we ever thought possible.
But even more than that, Melanie taught us how to live lives that naturally embrace fitness and health. We learned a lot about how our bodies get stronger and healthier. We will never be the same and for that we will always be tremendously grateful for the gift of her guidance.
There's something special about the way she works - it's kind of magical because at first you wonder how stretching and micro-movements can achieve the results in weight loss and strength you hoped for. And yet - it all worked.
Some other things: Integrity - the highest. She is devoted to her clients and laser-focused on serving their needs. Yet she is very easy to work with. She has a sense of humor that lightened every hour we spent with her. And she's genuinely passionate about helping her clients. She is warm and professional, easygoing and focused, funny and serious, wise and humble, all at the same time.
We can't say enough about how amazing she is. Just know that if you allow yourself to walk down the path with her, you will never be quite the same.

Melanie was my trainer + mindfulness coach for the past couple of years and has been nothing short of amazing!
She always intuitively listened to me, my body and knew exactly how much to push and where to create space, being fun and yet thorough in her program.
This review will not be complete with complementing Melanie for her deep spiritual wisdom and inspiring and motivating attitude to always find my own answers and remedy.

I needed some clarity and coaching around starting a new business. Mel helped me reframe my thinking and allowed to see the real motivation underneath all the effort. I came to her to avoid burnout and align my goals with my intentions and I came away with so much more.
It was such a powerful experience and I am so grateful for her spirit, uniqueness and thoughtful way of working and guiding me. Just knowing it's one part of me and is an inevitable part of how I am made to build and grow new ideas and concepts and put that out into the world. Thank you again for all your amazing work and inspiration!

When I decided to invest in myself by hiring a personal trainer, I knew I was searching for a "unicorn". It was important to me to find someone who was not going to promote diet culture, but would instead take a holistic approach. I wanted someone who understood the mind/body connection and how imperative it would be to have the two work together in unity. I honestly didn't think a trainer like Mel existed. She is all of this and so much more! In fact, she is far more than a personal trainer.
I can't say enough about the value Mel provides her clients. First and foremost, she genuinely cares for her clients and takes a vested interest in them. She works to get to know you and dives deep into identifying what needs to be worked on at a core level. The vast majority of personal trainers I've come in contact with focus on the external body. Hence, results can be fleeting. This is not Mel. On the contrary, she focuses on the internal beliefs and blocks that stand in the way of achieving your goals (really on every level). She then comes up with tangible ways to create new habits, patterns and behaviors that not only lead to lasting results but more so genuine transformation.
In a mere couple of months, Mel has helped me strengthen my mind and body, repair my relationship with food, and help me step into a higher version of myself. She continues to support my healing journey overall. I guarantee you will not find another trainer/coach who is as genuine, gifted, insightful, intuitive, thoughtful and skilled as Mel.

I have enjoyed my sessions with Melanie so much...
Having worked with a trainer for the past year from my gym and achieving a large weight loss and muscle tone...I began to plateau for about 7 months. I searched for a trainer and found Melanie....
This is very different training than I was used to. Small, thoughtful motions she has taught me.. In just a few sessions, my balance has improved greatly, and my workout routines are using more muscles with single movements.
She follows up after each session with an email with my progress and videos on how to do the movements correctly when I am not with her...INCREDIBLE is the time and value that she offers.
I love it! As far as pain...I had some...I'm healed now...Thank you Melanie...You are the Best in the Biz!!!

Mel explained the science behind why our minds work the way they do, and then guided me through ways to breakaway from the toxic thought patterns that were bogging me down.
She also got me into journaling—this is something I’d always wanted to do, but never got into because I just didn’t know how to start. She gave me some simple prompts for inspo, and her encouragement helped me make it a habit. This helped me work through some blocks and my emotions during what was a really challenging time (the start of COVID).
Mel has a great vibe and is thoughtful and nonjudgmental. I highly recommend Mel for those looking for simple, effective tools to learn how to live a more mindful life, and experience growth, in all areas of your life.

Life coach & personal training that does it well & brings a sense of calm to your life and day! Book your consultation or schedule a session you just found a rare gem!
Finding Mel was exactly what I needed when I needed it, after selling a business, being burnt out from working to much, being in survival mode and just having the last kid leave home I knew I needed to take some down time and work on me, to breath.
From wanting to improve on physical fitness to working one on one with a life coach (1st time I've ever done anything like this) Mel has been the perfect fit, she's great at pointing out what really matters, getting you back to center and taking time to find out what works best for you and your body. Highly recommend!!

Melanie is amazing! My job requires a lot of repetitive motions and abnormal positions. Most days I was in pain from working.
Because of her I am now able to do my job and live my life without fear of injury. I am so glad that I found her!

I had been working out for the previous five years without pushing myself and without being thoughtful. Then along comes Melanie with intellect, physical intelligence and great communication skills. I was hooked. Somebody got it and knew how to convey it to me.
I discovered that movements done in exercise should not only make a muscle look good, they should enhance your daily life by being more functional. I also learned of all the subtle aspects of health related to our central nervous system.
In the end the results for me were more awareness of what my body needs, more rigorous yet safe workouts and (let's face it, we are all vain) a better looking body. You're the greatest, Mel.

Melanie has been my trainer for just a short time thus far. In that time I have seen definite improvements in my flexibility, balance and overall well being.
I have low back issues which have caused me pain over the years. She has given me exercises to help with my back issues and is very good at explaining the purpose of why we are doing these exercises.
She is a very good trainer and communicator and goes out of her way to answer my questions and help in any way that she can. She also has provided exercises to do at home and always checks with me to see how I am doing at our next session. She has explained that all of the parts of the body need to work together to achieve optimal health.
I consider Melanie to not only be a great trainer but also a good friend that always encourages me in our sessions together. I would definitely recommend Melanie to anyone that is looking to be more healthy and wants to improve their overall well being.
