Work with Me

Please watch the videos below to understand how I approach healing differently than the “normal” conventional healthcare model. I also cover the process of working together, testing packages + pricing details.

This information is for educational and informational purposes only and solely as a self-help tool for your own use. I am not providing medical, psychological, or nutrition therapy advice. You should not use this information to diagnose or treat any health problems or illnesses without consulting your own medical practitioner. Always seek the advice of your own medical practitioner and/or mental health provider about your specific health situation.

The Root Cause Approach

I like to take a three-prong approach to ensure the body has adequate materials to function, that its drainage, detoxification organs/systems and digestive system is properly working and help the body offload any pathogens + toxins (parasites, bacteria, heavy metals, chemicals, molds, + viruses) that it may be having issues releasing.

Foundational Lab Tests

Below are the two tests I suggest every client completes for baseline testing. 

These together give us insight on what is happening both inside and outside of the cells of your body and cover numerous organs + their functions.

On top of the test result documents I create report of findings summaries along with a custom lifestyle + supplement protocol for you based on the findings.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)

Bloodwork is like a highway- when you take a blood sample you are seeing who is CURRENTLY traveling on the highway.

HTMA testing instead looks at who got off the highway and is at home (aka in your body’s cells).

This intracellular look at mineral balance + heavy metals allows us to see what has been going on in your body over the last 3-4 months.

Minerals are ESSENTIAL for practically every bodily function and imbalances in them contribute to a host of health issues. Many of you are taking multivitamins which actually could be causing imbalances.

Heavy metals can also been one root cause for a host of health issues and can often replace beneficial minerals in their receptors. This test gives us insight on what metals to target and what deficiencies can be filled.

Bioresonance Root Cause Scans (Qest4)

Qest4 Bioresonance Scans use quantum physics to determine what is stressing out the body and causing dysfunction.

It looks at stress in the form of energetic stress in the body’s organs/systems, nutritional deficiencies , food + environmental sensitivities, and hormonal imbalances.

Most importantly, it clues us in to which toxins (parasites, bacteria, metals, chemicals, molds) may be burdening your system.

It also scans your sample against supplements/remedies that your body is most in need of- meaning no more “guessing” which supplements/ protocols to follow because your sample tells us what you need.

This is hands-down one of my favorite tests for clients.

Additional Testing Options

In addition to the above I also offer additional testing if we decide it is necessary for you or your child during our Intro Call or at any point in our time working together.

Functional Bloodwork Analysis

The body works hard to maintain homeostasis (aka balance) and bloodwork may “look” normal even when disfunction is occurring.

It can take months, even years for the blood levels to be impacted, which is why I like to see bloodwork along with BIO/HTMA.

The traditional bloodwork most practitioners order does not look at optimal ranges and instead compares your results to that of sick people (aka what’s “normal” these days).

They also don’t look at TRENDS within your bloodwork; various highs and lows between markers can tell us a great deal about root cause conditions + what may be going on within you that other practitioners may have missed.

DUTCH Hormone Testing

Provides the most advanced hormone testing for both men and women, including sex and adrenal hormones along with their metabolites which gives us more information that blood or saliva hormone testing can.

Analysis of 35 different hormones: Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, DHEA + Cortisol, Daily Free Cortisol Patterns/Circadian Rhythm + more

Other markers: Liver detoxification phases, melatonin, oxidative stress/inflammation, some B vitamins, glutathione, neurotransmitter metabolites

Overview of The Process

I aim to make this an all-inclusive process- this isn’t JUST root cause testing. I consider this process like a spring cleaning of every corner of your lifestyle, not only getting to the root of what is going on in your body, but also looking into what may be contributing from your food, environment + more.

Book Intro Call

Submit the Prospective Client Form + Book Your Free Intro Call. We will then meet over Zoom to  discuss the process + answer any questions you have.

Forms, Tests + Foundations

You’ll complete a few intake forms +  whichever testing you choose. You’ll begin learning about the Foundations of Health + Low-Toxin Living.

Receive Results + Protocol

You’ll receive a video recording of me walking you through your results, what we will do about them, and lifestyle + supplement suggestions.

Review Session

We’ll meet after you’ve reviewed your results/protocol video to discuss any qUEstions that you have or clarify any of your results. (30 min)

Start Protocol

After you feel good about your next steps, you will start your first protocol, which is typically 30-45 days.

Next Phase of Protocol or Re-Test

Based on your roadmap, we will move to your next phase or complete re-testing to see what has shifted + what may still need to be addressed.

Foundations of Health + Understanding Low-Tox Living

Prior to receiving your results, we’ll first review a checklist of things I’d suggest you consider – from what foods you commonly eat, the coffee you drink, how you sleep, sun/light exposure, the deodorant you use, to certain things about your current home, and so much more.

My goal is to give you a comprehensive list detailing all the changes/things you may need to prioritize, and help you understand if what you are currently do/use is helping or hurting your health.

Lifestyle Protocol + Supplement Schedule

Based on your test results, you will receive two protocols: one that is lifestyle-based and another that uses vitamins/minerals, herbals, and homeopathy.

Some things can be supported by the choices you make on a daily basis, whereas other things may need intervention in the form of targeted supplemental protocols.

**NOTE ON SUPPLEMENTS**

Please know that supplements are not included in the cost of coaching or labs except for two supplements that I send to you in the mail.

Depending on what we uncover is going on in your body, the cost of supplements may be anywhere from $150-400 a month (most protocols I create are 1-2 months long).

Mindfully Well Program

Alongside the Foundations and Testing, you will also be receiving weekly modules that cover in-depth more of the Foundations of Health and other clean-living topics.

My aim is to help educate you on all the things you “could” do and then have you decide what shifts may need to be made over the course of four months.

Week 1: Foundations of Health + Low-Tox Living

Sets the stage for what will be covered over 16 weeks and teaches you why low-tox living is important and some easy things you can work on starting now.

This module contains the Foundations of Health Checklist above.

Week 2: Drainage + Detox Organ Supports

This week you’ll learn more about how your body actually drains/detoxes and why supporting these organs and systems is vital to long-term health.

Week 3: Digestion, Gut + Oral Health

This week covers how to support proper digestion, oral and gut health. We also cover the immune system and its linkage with the gut- hence why you’ll hear “all disease begins in the gut.”

Week 4 - 6: What the Heck Should I Eat?

We will cover food in depth over the course of three weeks, diving into each macronutrient, understanding ingredient labels, how to shop for quality products and my go-to tips for sustaining meal planning.

Week 7: Water Quality, Testing + Filtration

This week will cover why it is VITAL to filter your home’s water, different testing you can use to identify what may be in your water and different filtration options based on your home, living circumstances and/or budget.

Week 8: Air Quality + Filtration

Similar to the previous week, we’ll now dive into air quality in your home and different ideas on how to have the best air quality possible.

Week 9: Circadian Rhythm + Light Exposure

Week 10: Stress + Your Nervous System

This week covers how stress is a big root cause behind a lot of issues in the body and how to best support your nervous system balance.

Week 11 Exercise + Movement

This week dives into how to format your exercise routines for a balanced approach to your body.

This week dives into a toxin that we can’t see and why optimizing your exposure to EMFs can support your health long-term.

Week 14: Mindfully Well For Life

This week covers next steps in our client journey and how to optimize your health moving forward, making this a lifestyle and not just another program.

"I just have to let you know that I LOVE the program you have put together (from a busy mom and teacher perspective). It's like everything I have been researching for the past however many years put into this well organized, step by step, manageable program. For the first time in years I don't feel overwhelmed when it comes to my health. Your program is the answer to many, many prayers."
“Melissa was an answer to my prayers. I didn’t realize how sick I was until I started to feel better. I honestly don’t even know how I functioned for the months leading up to finding her. She actually spends time with you and listens. I appreciate how testing is so important to her and creating individual plans. She wants what is best for each of her clients, and I will continue to use her for the years to come for myself and my entire family!"
“Melissa is the most personable and experienced person I've ever worked with in the health and wellness space. Her protocols were so in-depth and personalized based on my specific needs, I almost feel like I didn't deserve how much help I received from her. I've had the most pleasant experience working with her and my body is very grateful."
“Melissa is the BEST - extremely knowledgeable, patient, responsive and caring which included telling me what I NEEDED to hear. In working with her this year, I’ve been able to reduce my medicine dosage twice and I have more energy, less pain and clearer thinking."
“Melissa coached me on how to get back on the track toward health. I work in the medical field and had been "clean eating" and exercising for years, but there were some key pieces missing that I didn't figure out until seeing Melissa and getting a comprehensive picture of what was going on with my body."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner?

An FDN-P is different from your typical health coach, nutritionist or medical doctor.

  • A health coach will give you general advice on how to feel and stay well, but they don’t have the ability to look deeper into your unique body and know what is right for you.
  • On the other hand, a medical doctor has access to all the testing in the world to identify what could be going on in your body, but they usually stick to symptom treatment and not finding the actual root cause in your systems. Further, they usually only spend a short amount of time with you and don’t help you identify what to do or how to change your condition.

As an FDN-P, I am able to merge both the lifestyle help with root cause testing to identify healing opportunities and hidden stressors in your body and support you along the way to optimal health.

I’m not just going to throw spaghetti at the wall until it sticks; rather we will use your both your lifestyle and results to look big picture of your body and its systems and create protocols for you that target your entire body non-specifically. We don’t seek symptom relief- we seek total body restoration.

Do I have to be local to work together?

Nope! I work with people all over the United States.

What does it look like to test other family members?

Often I end up working with more than one person in a family and because of this I offer discounted spouse + child packages that I offer after the initial new client package. 

We can chat about this during an Intro Call to review pricing, etc. 

How much will I spend on supplements/products?

This varies from client to client, but I’d expect between $150-300 per month based on what your body resonates with.

I try to use my best judgment and offer you optionals, etc. based on what your body may need the most. 

How long will we work together?

Each new client package I offer is roughly around two protocols or four months in length. Most people do need at least 1-2 rounds of re-testing following the initial package.

Because every client is so unique, I don’t have a set time that I suggest working together; instead, we take it protocol by protocol following your testing results and decide together the best path.

The most important part is that I consider this a relationship- I have many clients that have worked with me 1+ years and still come back for yearly re-testing, check-ins as life changes, etc.

Would you review labs I've had done recently through another provider?

If you want a second opinion on labs that were run within the last 3-6 months OR want your labs to be interpreted from my perspective, I’d be happy to look at your bloodwork, stool tests, hormone tests, etc.

Click package below if you want only this and not new tests with me.

I also am happy to look at your older labs in comparison to your new labs if you book any of my complete packages.

Do You Accept Insurance or HSA/FSA?

As a non-licensed practitioner, I cannot bill insurance or provide you with specific documents to submit to your insurance (I can provide you with a transaction receipt, but these receipts are not recognized by many insurance companies).

However, if you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) or (FSA) credit card, you may be able to purchase this service if coaching, supplements or testing are allowed.

I DO suggest checking with your HSA/FSA provider if you aren’t sure as in recent years the IRS has been tightening up what they deem a “necessary” medical expense.

Do You Offer Payment Plans or Financing?

I get it- taking care of yourself from a holistic/alternative/preventative perspective can be pricey. On top of that many have been spending a lot searching for answers that they haven’t found quite yet and have spent thousands in the process.

Because of this, all of packages are offered anywhere between one to four monthly payment plans.

If you want it to be even more spread out, I also offer a 15-month interest free payment plan through Advance Care Credit or My Medical Funding.

Package Pricing

Some practitioners will hide their pricing until they get you on a call and I simply do not believe in that.

I want you to know what to expect up front so that you are informed going into our call of what the investment may be based on the testing you choose.

Adult New Client Packages: $575 - $1380

Price differs based on what tests you choose or if you elect for add-on bloodwork or DUTCH Hormone testing.

Kid New Client Packages: $485 - $850

Price differs based on what tests you choose. 

If you are wanting to test multiple family members, I do have discounted packages that I can share for additional family members’ testing.

Pricing + Financing Options

I do not accept insurance, but I’ve had many clients use HSA/FSA credit cards to pay for the labs (look into restrictions before using).

I also offer 15-months, no interest financing through AdvancedCare. Click below to learn more.
