Meet Melissa
I thought how I was feeling was ‘normal’. I was a high performing Paramedic in Peel Region, lived on coffee, was tired all of the time, felt stressed and anxious, and despite efforts in the gym and in the kitchen, I could not get rid of the fat around my stomach!
After years of testing and an MRI I was diagnosed with a brain tumour on my pituitary gland that was releasing dangerously high levels of cortisol, the body’s stress hormone.
I learned very quickly how nutrition, lifestyle and mindset shifts were when it came to healing and performing your best.
After brain surgery, a diploma in Natural Nutrition, and 16+ years learning in the health and fitness industry, I knew that I wanted to work with people who are feeling overwhelmed and want to cut through the noise of the health and fitness space.
