ABOUT MELISSA

As an athlete, Melissa was always intrigued with behavioral psychology and how the strength of one’s body-mind connection could either enhance or decline a person’s performance, physically and emotionally.

She began her professional career as an on-field Strength & Conditioning Coach and A.T.,C. (Certified Athletic Trainer) after graduating with her B.S. in Exercise Science. During this time, she uncovered a true love for connecting with people through fitness and rehabilitation and had a knack for building trusting relationships with those she served.

After completing her Master’s degree, Melissa continued her career in fitness management within hospital, corporate and public wellness environments. With increased exposure to multiple facets of holistic health, she developed an even greater appreciation for integrative therapies, energy, and complimentary medicine, leading her to doctoral studies in natural health & holistic nutrition.

Melissa’s inspiration to improve performance continued in personal training studios, university classrooms, and corporate boardrooms, where she worked to develop systems, programs, and curriculum to help others achieve the goals they set for themselves.

As Melissa grew her family, she sought an entrepreneurial lifestyle that would provide the freedom and flexibility to work and raise children according to her own timelines and values. She chose an opportunity with a prominent company in the direct selling/beauty industry, where she honed her business and motivational skills leading teams and rising to new heights of influence.

Whether coaching people on physical insecurities or mental strongholds, Melissa has found that the same challenge remains for every person: we allow ourselves to be “limited” by our own belief systems.

How we think about our past performance, environmental influences, position title, familial dynamic, organizational structure, fears, etc., determines how we choose to navigate the flow of life. And our perceptions of self will always directly relate to our willingness and ability to care for, nurture, and grow into who we are meant to become.

As a Personal Empowerment Coach, Melissa integrates every bit of her education and experience to help raise her clients to new heights of success in any area of personal or professional development they wish to improve.
