Lifestyle Medicine
Lifestyle medicine is a medical specialty and evidence-based approach to lifestyle change that focuses on preventing and treating chronic diseases through adopting health promoting behaviors in the areas of improving nutrition, increasing physical activity, restful sleep, effective stress management, reducing or eliminating substance use, and cultivating positive social relationships.
Lifestyle Medicine Coaches (like me!) foster a collaborative partnership in your journey to optimal health, working hand-in-hand with you to identify your unique strengths, values, and goals. These goals are not just about numbers; they reflect your vision for a balanced and fulfilling life!

Hey y'all! My name is Melyssa with a WHY, lifestyle medicine coach with over 15 years of experience with behavior modification. I wrote my book, Healthy Living Doesn’t Have to SUCK, to teach people how to develop health promoting habits in a sustainable, enjoyable way!
After years of my own personal experience with yo-yo dieting and fitness fads, I finally discovered the power of engaging in health and wellness coaching as a way to overcome all of the other typical, short-lived programs. As a lifelong science geek, the method to my madness incorporates a multidisciplinary, evidence-based approach stemming from lifestyle medicine, positive psychology, and acceptance and commitment coaching.
So if you're looking for a coach that is classy, sassy, and a bit badass-y... Then you're in the right place!
