I didn’t set out to be a Gen X health coach, but here I am, and guess what? Every client I have is a fellow Gen Xer. Turns out, we’re the ones who need the most support. If you’re in your 40s or 50s, you know the drill: we grew up on fast food, processed meals, and the idea that exercise was optional. We’ve survived on caffeine and stress—often at the cost of our health.

We’re the first generation to dive headfirst into workaholic mode, juggling careers, families, and the tech boom. Raised to make money and get things done, not to practice mindfulness. The result? Stress, burnout, and heart disease.

But here’s the thing—we deserve better. It’s time to get off this wild ride and onto a path that’s actually good for us. With the right support (that’s me!), it's time to reclaim your health, sanity, and learn to prioritize what really matters.

“I love coaching one-on-one, but in addition, I recommend bringing in an accountability partner we can train together. They might not be as legendary as Goose to Maverick, but everyone needs a skilled wingman. I specialize in helping duos support each other, ensuring you have a strong partner to keep the journey going long after I’m gone.”

With me as your health GPS, we'll empower you to show up fully for yourself, family, friends—and hey, even employers, but let’s make sure you come first this time! Let’s get you fit for the future. It's time to make sure you’re rocking that retirement life, not just rolling into it!

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

I have struggled with insomnia my entire life. Now in my mid-forties with a new child, I knew I had to find a way to fix it, but I just wasn’t sure how or where to start.

I can't express enough gratitude for the support I've received from Melissa in overcoming my insomnia. Her approach as my wellness coach was not just about addressing the symptoms but about understanding the root causes of my sleepless nights. Through a combination of personalized strategies, mindful practices, and compassionate guidance, Melissa helped me develop healthier sleep habits and manage my stress more effectively.

What truly stood out was her patience and genuine concern for my well-being. Melissa listened intently, helped me recognize behaviors, as well as provided encouragement every step of the way. I’ve not only improved my sleep but also gained a better understanding of my overall health. If you’re struggling with insomnia or any wellness challenges, I highly recommend Melissa as a wellness coach—she has made a remarkable difference in my life.

Grateful - Antonio

Melissa has been a game-changer for me. Her guidance in setting boundries and focusing on self-care has been invaluable. She holds me accountable in a way that motivates me to stay committed to my goals, and I can see and feel the progress I've made because of her. I am so grateful for Melissa's wisdome and support, as she has helped me become the best version of myself.

Working with Melissa has been a wonderful experience, giving me the focused time I needed to truly tune into the aspects of health my body and mind require. Through her empathetic guidance, I’ve found clarity in what to work on and how to break these goals into bite-sized tasks. Having Melissa as an accountability partner has been invaluable as I’ve worked toward both sleep and physical activity goals during a season where I’m prone to prioritize my family’s needs over my own. Her motto of ‘better, not perfect’ resonates with me daily, reminding me to carry that same grace in all my interactions.
