What if you could wake up every morning feeling centered, full of energy, and at the top of your game?

As a functional nutritionist, I help busy, motivated professionals break the vicious cycle of unhealthy habits and chronic stress that are often the root cause of symptoms like persistent fatigue, anxiety, poor digestion and skin issues.  These tend to be indicators of deeper imbalances that pave the way for dysfunction and disease.

When we support the body, mind, and spirit with proper nutrition, mindfulness, and functional medicine principles, we can restore a state of optimal balance. One where radiant health and peak performance are the status quo.

Work With Me

I consult with motivated individuals who are committed to improving their health, working with each client to develop customized protocols that fit into the context of real life to get real results, like resolving resistant eczema, pre-diabetes, anxiety, and chronic IBS, to name a few.  Clients learn to prioritize the areas of their lives where small shifts create great change, and together we build lifestyle foundations that support lasting results.

Individual consultations begin with a 60 minute intake session that includes a detailed initial interview and analysis of your health history, concerns, and current lifestyle.  Together, we identify priorities, set goals, and create an action plan.  Each client walks away with a protocol that includes personalized nutritional therapy and lifestyle recommendations.  It addresses both short and long term goals and provides specific tools and resources to achieve them.

Check in calls are 30 minute calls, initially recommended every 1-2 weeks to review progress, answer questions, and enhance your protocol to keep you on the path to achieving your goals.  They can be booked a la carte or with a package.

Monthly packages are a more cost effective way to book time with me if you want to commit to an ongoing partnership.  They are available for 3 and 6 month engagements and include 2 monthly check-in calls.  Monthly packages are subject to availability and can be discussed following the initial consultation. Ultimately, my goal is to give you the tools and information you need to put you in control on the path to your health goals.

Due to consulting engagements and current client enrollment, I’m not currently taking on new clients.  Waitlist sign up and information here

To make functional nutrition accessible to a wider audience, I’m also developing a meal plan and planning to launch group classes.  Find out more here

About

 

Hi!  I’m Melissa, a functional nutritionist, certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), and business strategist based in Venice Beach, California. I’m on a mission to create and cultivate more joy, beauty, and growth in our world, and that begins with better health.

After a debilitating eye disease and the chemotherapy of antibiotics necessary to fight it off brought my life to a screeching halt, I chose to heal with a more holistic approach.  I saw transformative results after implementing the Autoimmune Paleo protocol and working with an amazing functional medicine doctor and team of healers.  Wanting to learn more about how changing what I ate so effectively resolved the landslide of health issues that came along with my illness and being on all those medications, I enrolled in the NTA’s Nutritional Therapy Practitioner program to better understand and direct my own healing process.

As I started applying what I learned to help myself and those around me, I realized that this was a powerful way to change the world and that it was about so much more than food.  When our mindset and lifestyle create vibrant health, we can achieve happiness, success, and impact beyond imagination. Prior to becoming an NTP, my career evolved from corporate finance, to public education, to the tech startup industry, with each role inspiring me to dream bigger into the next.  Now, as a facilitator for healing and growth, I can’t imagine anything better than using my experience to empower more positive change in the world.
