About

Hi... I am Melissa

My mission is to remind people of the beauty of everyday life. Although it may not always be sunshine and roses, it is precious and wonderful, right now. 

After numerous attempts and in my fifth decade of life, I am finally practicing what I coach. 

My husband and I now reside in Vermont with a mission to live a Life Salted. We invite experimentation and creativity into our days. We are slowing down, savoring, and bringing awareness to each moment. Sprinkling one grain at a time to enhance the flavor of our lives.


It has taken us over a decade, but we are finally here. 


In my forties, I realized through the many traumas and losses of life I had become quite efficient at surviving. I could expertly make it through the day but where was the joy?


I was disconnected and preoccupied.


Joy was shoved in the back of a drawer, just out of reach, waiting for someday

I worked as a pharmacist at the breakneck speed in a big box store. I was searching for more. I turned to yoga first. My personal practice helped gave me perspective and body In connection, in addition to self-love. 

That feeling of  there has to me more than getting by, grew. Although yoga showed a way, I knew I wanted to keep my personal practice sacred, therefore becoming a yoga instructor was not my answer. Then I found, and fell in love with, coaching. I completed the year-long Functional Medicine Coaching Academy certification course that sat for the exam to become a  National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach.

When you choose to work with me, we will...
