Working with Melanie
Bio
Melanie is a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) with over 18 years of experience that includes therapeutic bodywork, integrative health, and functional nutrition. Her approach bridges the science of the body with the art of awareness — helping clients cultivate resilience, balance, and meaningful, lasting change in their lives.
She holds a Master’s degree in Integrative Health and Wellness and has advanced training in functional nutrition, extensive experience in trauma-informed coaching, and somatic integration practices. Her work is grounded in the understanding that the body carries its own wisdom, and true healing happens when we listen to it with compassion and curiosity.
Through Somatic Lifeworks, Melanie integrates her diverse experience — from clinical and corporate settings, interdisciplinary health teams to private practice — to offer personalized, whole-person support. She helps clients reconnect with their body’s signals, navigate stress and transitions, and restore vitality through simple, sustainable shifts in daily life.
Coaching
Coaching sessions with Melanie are offered remotely by phone, video, or secure chat, allowing you to connect from wherever you are. An initial conversation helps determine the frequency, format, and focus that best align with the support you’re seeking.
In the early stages, sessions are often held more frequently to build momentum and deepen your understanding of new tools and perspectives. As your awareness and skills strengthen, meetings typically taper to provide space for integration and continued growth.
Let's connect to identify the support that best fits your needs and goals.
Nutrition
Health is rooted in nourishment. While every aspect of life matters, physical nourishment remains a vital part of the whole equation. The healthier the body, the more vibrant the life. It’s a simple truth that can sometimes feel complex to live out. Melanie offers a food-and-lifestyle-first approach to nutrition, helping clients make choices that support vitality, resilience, and sustainable well-being.
Drawing on her advanced training in functional nutrition and integrative health, Melanie supports clients in understanding how everyday habits, nutrient intake, and emotional well-being work together to shape overall health. She partners with Standard Process for evidence-based, whole-food supplement recommendations when additional support is beneficial.
Melanie neither diagnoses nor prescribes, but she provides the support, education, context, and compassionate approach needed to help you make informed, confident decisions about your health and wellness journey.
