🌿 Feeling bloated, gassy, or dealing with reflux?

Your gut and nervous system are connected — and sometimes it’s not just what you eat, but how your body responds that matters.

An alkaline balance can help calm your digestion, reduce inflammation, and support your overall wellness — naturally. Think leafy greens, plant-based foods, and soothing herbs, paired with simple lifestyle habits like hydration, mindful eating, and gentle stress relief.

✨ Small shifts, big impact. Your gut will thank you!

Ever feel like your digestion is “off”… even when you’re eating well?

Bloating, reflux, constipation, anxiety around food, emotional eating, or that wired-but-tired feeling are often blamed on what we eat.

But for many women, the deeper issue is how safe the body feels.

When the nervous system is stuck in stress mode (fight-or-flight), digestion can’t fully do its job. And the tricky part? Most people don’t even realize this is happening.

I wrote a new blog that explains:
• Why digestion and anxiety are so closely connected
• How being stuck in stress can quietly affect your gut
• Why meditation doesn’t always help when the body feels unsafe
• A gentle, 3-minute practice to support digestion and calm the nervous system

This isn’t about fixing yourself or pushing through.
It’s about helping your body feel safe enough to heal.

✨ Reflux doesn’t just affect digestion—it can ripple through the whole body.

One of my clients recently worked with her prescribing physician to safely reduce her use of PPIs over three months, while also supporting her digestive system with lifestyle changes and gentle herbal support.

One of the key plant allies we used? Marshmallow root 🌱
This soothing, demulcent herb has a long tradition of supporting the esophagus, throat, and gut lining—especially when reflux has been irritating tissues for a long time.

In my latest blog post, I share:
✔️ What unaddressed reflux can lead to (beyond heartburn)
✔️ Why gut support matters for long-term comfort
✔️ How marshmallow root works and how it’s traditionally prepared
✔️ Why this is supportive care, not a replacement for medical treatment

If you’re navigating reflux and want to understand natural, holistic ways to support digestive wellness, I invite you to read more here:

Hi, I’m Melanie — clinical herbalist-in-training and a woman of many trades and passions.

My love for herbalism began years ago during a study-abroad trip where I lived in a refurbished chicken coop surrounded by nature. It was rustic, simple, and exactly what I needed to reconnect with my roots. Since then, I’ve continued to grow as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and herbalist, supporting others to balance their gut and stay grounded.

My own healing journey — marked by anxiety, irritability, nervous tension, hormone imbalance, and gut dysbiosis — pushed me to explore natural tools when traditional medicine left me feeling dismissed and unsupported. I’m now beginning my clinical herbalism practice so I can support others in the ways I wish I had been supported.

I’m also a speech-language pathologist specializing in myofunctional therapy, helping people reduce snoring and sleep apnea, ease facial pain, improve swallowing, and speak with more ease.

I teach herbalism and wellness classes both in-person and online, and I offer wellness consultations virtually and in Hillsborough, NC.

When I’m not working with clients or teaching, you’ll find me dancing (west coast swing, ecstatic, or Latin), singing (yes, I can carry a tune!), cooking nourishing food, making herbal concoctions, reading, watching movies, or spending time outdoors.

I’d love to connect. DM me or visit my website to ask a question or schedule a free consultation. 🌿

I went through an entire semester of college without sleeping.
I couldn’t regulate my breath, and my mind wouldn’t quiet down.

If I could sit with that younger version of myself, I’d wrap her in a hug and gently guide her inward. I’d tell her to slow her breath, to let her mind soften, to remember she is perfectly imperfect. I’d teach her self-compassion. I’d remind her she’s forgivable, lovable, and worthy of rest.

Now, it’s my turn to help you.

I just released a new blog post all about regulating your nervous system and stabilizing your blood sugar—tools you’ll definitely want this holiday season.
