"I can't recommend health coaching with Melissa highly enough. I wasn't entirely sure what I needed when I started working with her and she guided me to understanding my health and my relationship to nutrition with empathy and support. She offered realistic, sustainable pathways for making the changes I wanted to see. I came out of my coaching with Melissa with concrete strategies and optimism about my health, which has shifted my whole outlook. She's amazing!"

"Deciding to commence coaching with Melissa has proven to be a great catalyst for some big changes in my life. I initially contacted Melissa with specific goals in mind around my weight, overall health and fitness. It was 3 months after the birth of my second baby, in the midst of a pandemic and with a busy 3.5 year old at home – needless to say that things were hectic and stressful. I clearly wasn’t the best version of myself and I realized that, in order to feel better, I needed to make my health a priority.

Since the beginning of our sessions, Melissa has been nothing but supportive and encouraging. It often felt I had both a coach and cheerleader by my side each step of the way, always identifying things that I achieved from one session to the next. She asks the real questions which I had avoided asking myself for some time, but she does it in a caring and nurturing way and then takes the time and space to listen and understand.

In the 6 sessions we worked together I achieved many things and came to a lot of realizations about myself. I learned how I want to eat, what foods make me feel great, along with what type of food I want to feed my family. I learned how best to prioritize my fitness and I got crystal clear on my health plan moving forward. Our whole family is eating double the amount of veggies we were eating before, which is making us all feel much better. I have lost close to my goal of 20lbs in the last 4 months and I have never felt more vibrant and energetic.

Melissa has been invaluable in reawakening my true strength and potential. Her insight and honesty are so heartfelt and I am extremely thankful for the opportunity to work together."

"The Well Way seminar provided the group with strategies and ideas that focus on caring for ourselves so we could better care for others and become more confident in ourselves to make good life decisions. The presentation highlighted how nutrition, exercise, and the mind together influence our well being. It also addresses behaviours and habits that undermine our efforts to establish and maintain positive outcomes for meaningful change. Life seems to have gotten very busy and there never are enough hours in the day. We can easily forgo eating properly, skip the gym, and get unconnected.

 

Melissa is very passionate about helping people achieve a healthy and balanced lifestyle. It is evidentin her presentation. The power point and hand outs are very instructive. The group discussion was very engaging. Many shared their experiences with stress and not being able to afford themselves the “me” time needed for rejuvenation. The group appreciated Melissa‘s openness in answering all their questions.

 

This was a very good Seminar."

“Before working with Melissa I found myself struggling with my physical weight and a heavy mind; I wasn't living the way I wanted to and I thought a coach could help me.

 

While working with Melissa I noticed that my optimism returned, as well as clarity about what was a priority for me. Even with years of self-development, I found many unexpected benefits from The Well Way format. I loved the self- directed online learning because I could fit into my busy schedule and then the 1x1 calls were great as a way to ask questions or reinforce lessons learnt.

 

Melissa shows up positive, willing to hold me accountable, and is knowledgeable. She is very thoughtful and thorough and as part of our closing call she recapped all the progress I had made which surprised even me!

 

The Healthy and High Functioning Program was excellent!”

"Melissa provided the external motivation and accountability I needed to get my health back on track. Even though I knew what needed to be adjusted in my lifestyle routines and habits, I needed a gentle push in the right direction. Melissa provided opportunities to reflect on my relationships with eating, sleeping, and overall health and really explore the source of some of my underlying habits and perceptions. Through structured and sequential online and remote sessions, Melissa was able to help me initiate and maintain forward momentum towards making sustainable changes to my eating, sleeping, and overall self-management practices. A critical element to Melissa's practice is validating and celebrating your progress as you achieve your goals. She really sees and honours the commitment to health and wellbeing, and for me that is what made my experience with Melissa and The Well Way so successful."
