Melissa is a functional fitness instructor, photographer, and Lupus warrior. After living her whole life in pain, Melissa was finally diagnosed with Lupus in 2006. She began a variety of treatments that helped combat her symptoms, but the physical and mental toll of pain and treatment left Melissa in a place of exhaustion, depression and self-pity.
A few years later, Melissa shifted gears and adopted an approach to managing her pain that included nutrition and lifestyle changes, as well as medical observation when needed. Melissa also shifted her mindset, creating obtainable goals, avoiding all-or-none thinking, and listening to her body.
Melissa has drawn from her transformation to build a career in holistic nutrition and wellness, helping her clients embrace their individuality and be in charge of their own stories.
