Mom of 3 boys, professional health care provider and a Personal Training Client & Executive Balance Coaching shares her experience…

“My journey with Melissa began in the walker line at school. She has a calm demeanor but gives off an aura of strength. I felt like I needed to get to know her.  I asked her where she was headed in her workout gear.  I’m so glad I did.Training and balance coaching with Melissa has helped me see that I am capable of achieving more out of life. Initially I had the simple goal of getting back into shape after a back injury. As I worked out with Melissa, I quickly started to regain the confidence that I could work out without back pain and progress towards my fitness goals. With each workout, I felt better and better.As I improved physically, Melissa helped me understand and appreciate the importance of balance.  My back pain combined with the stresses of raising 3 young boys had created imbalance.  It changed my thought process and my attitude about myself.  It was holding me back.  Melissa’s well-wisher philosophy helped me see this and gave me the tools and skills to rediscover my strength and achieve balance. During my sessions with Melissa, I felt safe with her guidance in fitness as well how to help take steps towards empowering change. This transition evolved seamlessly. Thanks to Melissa, I now start my day with a positive attitude and a feeling that I can accomplish my goals.  If things get out of hand, I have the tools to get back to basics.  I can’t say enough about how Melissa has helped me improve my life.”

“I was about 6 months from turning 40 and realized I needed to get healthy and strong so I could keep us with my kids (3 and 6 at the time) for the long haul. Additionally, my orthopedic surgeon was telling me knee replacement might be the only way to fix the pain. I've had knee issues since I first tore my ACL skiing in 1996. Melissa has been amazing. I've always been active, but I do not enjoy working out. Honestly, I still don't, but it's a means to end and ultimately it does make me feel better, both mentally and physically. I'm convinced Melissa's emotional IQ is off the charts. She has the ability to connect and hone in your strengths and weaknesses, both physically and mentally to get you where you want to go and further. At 40 I'm stronger and in better shape than I have been my whole life. I even workout when I'm not with Melissa. I still don't enjoy it, but I do it. At my last orthopedic surgeon appointment he said whatever you doing keep doing it. We've paused the lubricating knee injections and cortisone until the pain comes back, which also means no replacement. This winter I was able to ski as hard as I did when I was in my 20s. As an added bonus I look better too. I'm also able to show my kids the importance of being healthy and strong.”

My real fitness journey started eight years ago, after pregnancies and bed rest. Along the way I started learning and reading, and decided I wanted to help other women that needed to recover and heal from a traumatic experience or just “get their body back” through working out. I have been a certified personal trainer for seven years. I’ve managed in boutique gyms and worked in partnership with a small local gym. Now I train in my private studio and own Her Well-Wisher Fitness by Mell. I have evolved the brand to a virtual capacity including a YouTube channel with training videos for my clients to use and stay on track within their journey.

I invite you to take a look at my studio, try one of my live event classes, and visit my YouTube channel. For specific inquires about your journey, email me directly at hwwfitnessbymell@gmail.com or through the connect link on this site.

Executive Balance Coach became my practice and style of coaching organically. As a professional women in a leadership role in retail for over 15 years, I was fortunate to receive many hours of training to develop and strengthen my leadership tool kit. When I decided to switch my profession to fitness I found the tools I had acquired throughout my career where a great compliment to my new role. I started to research further education on how I might elevate my business model, and then it came to me, I coach people daily in overcoming obstacles, challenges and life. I enrolled in Teleos Leadership Institute, this is how Executive Balance Coach came to life.

I specialize in guiding professionals to get their best performance at work, and at home — I help them discover balance. All leaders would benefit by finding their balance, if you have specific inquiries for yourself or your company, let’s connect!
