Hello, I'm Melissa.
With over 40 years of managing type 1 diabetes, I help women overcome challenges, prioritize self-care, and thrive beyond diabetes with my coaching.
Overwhelmed, need to boost confidence and prevent diabetes burnout?
Are you a midlife woman, recently diagnosed or a warrior like me who needs 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, it forced me to understand this disease and seek help. Knowing 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. I've since found sustainable ways to live and thrive with T1D. So can you.
When women managing a chronic disease come together...the world becomes a happier, healthier place.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Philippians 4:6

"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."

"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."
