Grab our 3-step guide that goes beyond carb counts, offering practical tips and valuable insights.
Are you a midlife woman, recently diagnosed or a warrior like me who wants to change how diabetes looks and feels for you?
Well, you're in the right place. My name is Melissa, and following my health scare 30 yrs. ago, I was forced to understand this disease and seek help. I knew I couldn't do diabetes alone.
I coach because I believe that we have a common goal. I lacked support and accountability that led to poor control for too many years. Let me show you the sustainable approaches I've discovered that have been key to thriving with T1D.
When women managing a chronic disease come together...the world becomes a happier, healthier place.

"I signed up for Abundant Health with Diabetes Program because I realized that to change my health, I needed to take an "action step". I had no idea that it would teach me a framework on which I could build lifetime changes.
After sitting with Melissa through the course I began understanding the 5 essential habits creating health. Around these habits, I was able to build goals and strategies to reach those goals. By the end of the program, I truly was empowered with specific and measurable ways to begin changing my mindset managing diabetes forever. And now I have a friend and coach who can direct me and hold me accountable."

I wanted to learn how to balance carbs with fat and protein and form a diet that was healthy for me and would give me sustainable energy and not spike my blood sugar. Melissa sat down with me and discussed my concerns and helped me develop such an eating plan! Im grateful to her and her advice has worked! She stays in touch with me and provides recipes and helpful advice through emails and her Facebook group. Book a session with her! Shes fabulous!"

"Working with Melissa has been transformative for me!
My main health goal was gaining awareness and establishing a rhythm for eating and exercising during menopause. The one-on-one meetings were my favorite part—they provided valuable insights and kept me accountable. Melissa's podcasts and zoom classes introduced me to fun protein-filled recipes. Achievements include a better understanding of balanced eating with whole foods and increased protein, a more consistent exercise program, and improved understanding of hormone health. Melissa's support was always available and encouraging. I'm excited about continued learning in hormonal health. I feel empowered and in charge of my health, and I'm very satisfied with her service. I plan to stay consistent with the balanced approach in exercise, eating, and overall health. I highly recommend Melissa's coaching program."
Thank you!

"When I began Melissa's Abundant Health Program, my main goal was a balanced, healthy lifestyle and guidance on supplements. Melissa's coaching exceeded expectations. I loved working through the 'Circle of Life' with her, gaining valuable insights and practical strategies. With her help, I achieved better sleep, improved my nutrition, and focused on weekly improvement. Melissa's coaching was significantly helpful, and I'm very satisfied. I'm excited about continuing the 'Circle of Life' and use a calendar to stay consistent. While I'm unsure about more coaching now, I'm open to future options. I feel in charge of my health and wholeheartedly recommend Melissa's program."
