About Melissa

After years of teaching fitness, and two pregnancies, I’ve grown to realize what an important role food and nutrition play in our health. What we put in our bodies is the most important piece of our health puzzle.

 

I've always had a passion for cooking and eating delicious food. Growing up Italian, food is a love language and meal time, a time of connection. I carry this tradition in my own home for my family while trying to use clean, seasonal ingredients. I also follow the 80/20 rule… I enjoy life, satisfying my cravings without judgment and try not to sweat the small stuff.

I take a holistic approach to health and wellness by empowering my clients with information about what is in our food and water which could be keeping our bodies from feeling it’s best.

 

“My goal is to encourage and inspire people to get in the kitchen and cook real food, have fun, and keep it simple!”

 

I am a California mama at heart, now living in the Midwest with my husband and our two energetic, amazing kiddos and our black lab. Feeding us all and creating meals we all enjoy sounds like it could be a full time job - but I love it and I keep it simple! I wouldn’t have it any other way! I believe in coming back to our roots, starting with fresh, seasonal, organic ingredients. There’s something so grounding and healing when I’m preparing fresh fruits or vegetables. The kitchen is where we all gather and connect - a place where we all can nourish our bodies and souls. To share my journey and knowledge with you all is truly a gift.

 

As a certified Pilates Instructor, Personal Trainer and Holistic Nutritionist, I believe that we know our own bodies best. I am here to help you get in touch with your intuition, heal your body, and gain confidence in your health decisions. I hold space to get to know my clients and teach them how to nourish themselves. I will empower you to eat intuitively, move your body intentionally, and quiet your mind so you can come back into alignment with your true self.  

 

Love to all,

 

Melissa
