Michaela, 28 years old

“After 8 years of visiting conventional doctors I was told I have a ‘life long illness I just have to deal with.’ Melissa single handedly changed my life with her determination to help and her insight on one of the most quieted health epidemics.”

Shelley, 42 years old

“I was struggling with so many health issues. Melissa patiently helped me figure out the root cause of my issues. I haven’t felt this energetic in years!”

Mary, 32 years old

“I cannot thank Melissa enough for helping my family and I. I have 3 very young children and just felt overwhelmed with cooking healthy meals for my children who are picky eaters. She simplified my approach and helped me create a healthier, stress free environment.”

April, 56 years old

“Since beginning to work with Melissa a few short weeks ago to address my mold toxicity and parasites, my flushing has decreased substantially. I cannot believe this is the first time in 2.5 years that I am not waking up with my face hot and feeling crazy anxious.”
