Hi, I'm Mel
Holistic Nutritionist, Yoga Teacher & Mindfulness Coach
For many years, I shape-shifted and lived behind a mask. I let the “shoulds,” “supposed tos,” and comparisons dictate my life, becoming completely disconnected from myself.
​
I was a perfectionist, people-pleaser, and busy mom, hiding the imperfect side of my life—the burnout, negative self-talk, and lack of self-worth and love. I kept this up until I could no longer hide.
​
In 2017, I began experiencing debilitating panic attacks and was diagnosed with depression, osteoarthritis, and an autoimmune thyroid condition. My body, which I had been neglecting, forced me to stop.
​
That was my wake-up call. I realized I needed to seriously reassess my life and well-being to live authentically, fully, and happily.
​
I recognized that despite my love for food, our relationship had been tumultuous. Decades of disordered eating involved deprivation, binging, hiding food, and counting calories. I used food and exercise to control my life. Committed to healing, I began nourishing myself through intuitive eating.
​
It also became clear that I wasn’t supporting my mind and soul. Despite having everything I thought I wanted, I felt empty and numb. I had forgotten who I was, what I enjoyed, and what fulfilled me.
​
I started practicing yoga and meditation, prioritizing myself. I took daily time for activities that nourished my soul—walking in nature, resting, listening to music or podcasts, and taking candlelit baths. Gradually, my energy increased, and I felt motivated, inspired, and excited again.
​
After my depression diagnosis, I began taking antidepressants, which helped, but I knew that wasn’t enough. I delved deep into my mind and heart, peeling back layers that had dimmed my light. I unpacked the negative and limiting beliefs I had held for decades and clarified what I wanted and needed.
​
The brain fog lifted, and I found the courage to open up to friends and loved ones and ask for what I needed. I set boundaries, spoke to myself with compassion and kindness, and, most importantly, I started to believe. I began to believe I am worthy of love, that I am enough, and that I am magical and powerful.
​
I found my way back home to my true, authentic self. Now, it’s my passion to help you reconnect with your beautiful body, mind, and soul.
