Hi, I’m Melissa!
Thank you so much for stopping by ~ it’s great to have you here! I’m a wife to my husband Chad and mama to two blessings. At one point in my motherhood journey, I was crabby, living off of sugar, exhausted, and 30 pounds heavier. Instead of processing through my feelings, I stuffed them with food {usually sweets!} While my calories and points were low enough to “lose weight,” it wasn’t happening for me. {Even though I was well hydrated and exercised!} After trying every diet under the sun to lose weight, our daughter was diagnosed with food intolerances. Little did I know that the very food deemed “healthy” that I ate on a daily basis was working against me rather than for me. {Come to find out, we share food intolerances!} Once I removed those foods and learned about eating whole foods, everything changed.
My body started to eliminate toxins found in the processed foods I was living off of. The sugar cravings decreased. My energy increased. The foggy brain lifted. And, I did the inner work of learning to identify and articulate my feelings rather than stuffing them. New healthy habits started to emerge and I felt empowered! I became the calm, confident and peaceful mama I always longed to be. As a result, I felt called to help other moms who are where I was. And, that meant more than the latest diet and exercise program.
This is why I went to school to learn how to help mamas get out of overwhelm and feeling stuck. As women we are stressed and overwhelmed, and put ourselves last. As a coach, I teach busy women simple strategies that they can fit into their busy lives because our families need us to be our best. I help busy women break free from sugar without deprivation so they can be happy, healthy and love life.
I offer help and hope to the mama who feels overwhelmed, stuck and wants freedom to enjoy life AND motherhood Happy. Healthy. Free. The mom you desire to be is in there, waiting to come out. Are you ready?
~ Melissa
