about me

I’m a self-driven individual that is forever healing my inner battles of eating disorders; body dysmorhpia; severe panic disorder; endometriosis and most recently - infertility.

It all started when i was 10 and the world weighed heavy on how i perceived myself. Youth sports, hormones and the internet lead me to a difficult relationship with food and the mirror. I soon grew tired of not understanding the WHY behind how my body was fighting against me and from there my passion for health and wellness began. To this day I am dedicated to learning how to optimize women’s health with strength training, nutrition and coaching you way through the ups and downs.

If i could have loved myself a little harder, sooner: I would view food as medicine; understand that a woman’s body is powerful; our hormones should not be suppressed; believe that my symptoms are something to be grateful for; and most importantly - my value does not lay in the hands of ones who are so poorly educated on what it means to be healthy.

Testimonials.

  • prior to my first session I hadn’t even met Mel, so I was super intimidated going to someone I didn’t know. I was super out of shape from having a baby which made my fear worse. she gave such a warm welcome the second I stepped foot into her gym and made me feel 10x better about it. I love the 1 on 1. it eliminated my fear of any judgment i’d be getting in another gym. Melanie listened to every one of my goals, and made sure we touched on them in every session. She helped with nutrition & got me to understand my body and what it needs to get me where I want to be. I saw such a big amount of progress in such little time. can’t thank her enough! 12/10 💕

  • May 2021 I decided that it was time to focus on myself again, and reached out to Mel to schedule 3 months of personal training sessions. It was never about a number, I just wanted to feel better and find myself again. The first day I walked into Mel’s gym I was cautiously optimistic, and scared as hell. Every day since that first workout has been so much fun. I’ve done things I never thought I could do, I perfected things I could barely do the first time I tried them, and I continued to show up for myself day after day. Most importantly, I’ve learned to love myself and my body. I feel strong, capable, and worthy. The inches and pounds that I’ve lost along the way aren’t so bad either! I only wish I did this for myself a long time ago. Working with Mel is easily one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She is approachable and welcoming. Even when workouts were hard, they never felt impossible. Mel was always encouraging, and helped with adapting the workout to my personal needs. I’ve thanked you a million times, Mel, and I’ll do it a million more. I never could have done this without you!
