Past trauma, stress, and old patterns bias your brain to expect danger… so you start living like danger is everywhere.The good news? You can break the loop. Every time you create a safe “prediction error” — doing something different than your nervous system expects — your brain updates the story. Over time, it learns you’re not stuck in the past.That’s what I’ll be teaching live at Omega this October: how to work with your predictive brain and nervous system so you stop reliving old scripts and start experiencing the present as it really is.📍 Omega Institute, Rhinebeck NY🗓️ Oct 5–10, 2025🔗 L!nk in b!o to join me

I am still astonished that these two brilliant humans wanted me around.

Spending the weekend at Omega with Dr. Emeran Mayer and Dr. Drew Ramsey was equal parts humbling and energizing.

Emeran has changed how the world understands the gut–brain connection, but what struck me most is how kind, curious, and generous he is in every interaction.

Drew has changed how the world understands the link between nutrition and mental health — and he brings it to life with such heart, humor, and wisdom (plus, he really can make you romanticize kale in the best way).

Photo #6 says it all — these two are as genuine as they are groundbreaking, and I’m so grateful to have shared the space with them.

I’ll be back teaching at Omega October 5–10 ✨ meet me there! L!nk in b!o

HI. I'M MELISSA.

In 2004 I was in bad shape - mentally, physically, and spiritually. I spent months in and out of specialists offices. A syrinx, a cyst in the spinal cord, was found. I was diagnosed with three bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, and sacroiliac joint dysfunction. I suffered from anxiety and bouts of depression and my coping skills were limited.

There came a moment that my only thought was ‘I just can’t do it anymore’. I’m a lifelong learner and researcher by nature so I began doing my homework. I learned everything I could about healing the body through exercise. Implementing fitness into my life was quite literally the first thing I ever did for my own good. In 2009 when I graduated from West Virginia Wesleyan College I knew where my path was headed. I obtained my 200+ hour Professional Certification of Personal Training. I started helping others heal their bodies through exercise and fell in love with the profession.

While I loved working with people, there were aspects of the fitness industry that are not in the best interest of humans. I knew that the process of getting better, being happier, and living healthier wasn’t just about food and exercise; in fact, I quickly learned that food and exercise are small components on the path to your most vibrant self.

In 2014 I began studying cutting-edge techniques of world renowned Holistic Health Practitioner & Certified Nueromuscular Therapist Paul Chek. I obtained my Holistic Lifestyle Coach Certification combining an intensive study of the relationship between food and lifestyle habits and the tools to recognize and create practical ways to imply lifestyle changes. I learned and understand the important roles that sleep, food quality, stress reduction techniques, and movement play in improving our lives. As well as the importance of practice methods to make real life, long lasting change.
