You deserve to feel like yourself again, now.

Let’s get you back into the driver’s seat when it comes to your mental health.

Because… if we’re being honest, doesn’t it feel not-so-great to rely on doctors and professionals who aren’t helping you fully get the results you want to see?

The good news is… the days of a one-size-fits-all “solution” are over, so that is NOT something you have to put up with any longer!

I am not here to give you any more cookie-cutter solutions, but to instead be your partner and guide on your journey to your healthiest, happiest you.

Together, we will work to unearth the root cause of your issues (using diet and lifestyle analysis and functional medicine labs), and I will teach you how to harness the powers of personalized nutrition and mindfulness to regain control of your mental health.

What I’ve learned and implemented in my own life over the last five years has compounded to get me to the happy, healthy, medication-free girl that I am today.

These changes are exactly what I want to help YOU make, too! Only, let’s ditch the “five years” part– let’s get you on a much more accelerated timeline.

If you're tired of:

Depression - and it’s BFF anxiety - running the show
Leaving the doctor’s office without any real solution after being told all of your labs look normal
Trying medications that make you feel like a zombie, or that give you a big ole cocktail of side effects
Feeling an utter lack of control over your mind
Knowing in your gut that there’s more to life than how you’re currently feeling

Picture, future you:

Able to understand your body’s needs
Armed with knowledge on how to nourish it
In charge of your mind and thoughts + feeling in control
Having more knowledge via specific tests about exactly what is going on in your gut (aka the “second brain”)
Supported by me, 1:1, the entire way

WORK WITH MEL

So, how can I help you go from spiraling to thriving?

After going through my own mental health journey, I worked as a registered dietitian for 2.5 years at a mental health company offering nutrition, yoga, and fitness services.

I got to share what I’d learned – and the same changes I had implemented and observed in myself over time were the same changes that I observed among my clients.

Truthfully, I used much more evidence-based approaches with my clients than I had with myself. In retrospect, I wish I’d known to use them for myself, as my clients were able to see results much sooner (hindsight, ya know?).

One of the more transformative lifestyle changes that I made was beginning a daily yoga practice. Its impacts were so profound that I eventually underwent my 200 hour yoga teacher training and started to teach.

Again, the same changes I observed within myself were the same patterns that my students reported! Picking up on anything here yet?

Between my personal and professional experiences, the bottom line always comes down to nutrition and mindfulness.

To help YOU harness the impacts of these changes and reconnect with your truest self, I package all this previous knowledge and experience into my 1:1 work with my clients!

FAQ

Questions answered. Doubts cleared. Everything you need to know.

Why did you become a functional nutrition dietitian?

My journey into functional nutrition started with my own struggles with mental health. After feeling frustrated with one-size-fits-all solutions and not getting the answers I was looking for, I began exploring the deeper connection between nutrition, gut health, and the brain. What I discovered transformed my own life— and ultimately led me to help others take a root-cause, personalized approach to their mental and physical health.

Do you only work with clients who have anxiety or depression?

While I specialize in supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, and mental health challenges, I also work with clients experiencing gut issues, low energy, hormone imbalances, and brain fog. These symptoms are often deeply connected, and my approach focuses on addressing the whole picture— not just one diagnosis.

What makes your approach different from traditional healthcare?

Traditional healthcare often focuses on symptom management, while my approach is centered on identifying and addressing root causes. Through personalized nutrition, lifestyle support, and functional lab testing, we work to understand why symptoms are happening and create a plan that supports long-term healing— physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Do I have to follow a strict diet to work with you?

Not at all. My approach is not about rigid rules or restrictive dieting. It’s about helping you understand your body, build sustainable habits, and feel confident in how you nourish yourself. Everything is personalized to fit your lifestyle, preferences, and goals.
