Hi, I’m Melaina!

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Personal Trainer, and an Integrative-Functional Nutrition Health Coach. My core philosophy centers around creating a personalized approach to help you achieve and maintain optimal health.

My journey began in 2005 when I became a personal trainer. However, my passion for wellness really ignited when I attended the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) where I learned the importance of incorporating nutrition and fitness with mind body modalities, as well.

IIN was the catalyst for going back to school to get my Master’s Degree in human nutrition and becoming a Registered Dietitian. Since then I’ve been studying functional medicine, which means I help my clients identify the “root causes” of their symptoms and tailor a program to address their unique needs so they can get well and stay well.

I specialize in the management of metabolic syndrome (increased blood pressure, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol/triglyceride levels – that occur together, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes), as well as hormones, weight loss, and gut health.

Drawing on my combined knowledge and experience in multiple practice settings including personal training, functional medicine, holistic wellness, and clinical nutrition, I will help you create a completely personalized roadmap to health that suits your unique body, lifestyle, and goals.
