I’m Melina

Holistic health educator, teacher, friend, and mirror here to help you lead life through a lens of nourishment, enrichment, and connection. Since 2012, I’ve been studying, practicing, and exploring health, fitness, and psychology. In 2017, I began my journey as a movement instructor as a barre teacher, with a background of 15 years of performance dancing. In late 2018 and into 2019, in my senior year of college studying the general segments of health, I was introduced to the concept of wholistic wellness, where puzzle pieces began taking form. Since graduating in 2019, I’ve kept up with my studies and exploration, devoted to healing, growing, and living life more well. I’ve spent time studying nourishment on the plate. From general college nutrition courses to later completing programs for plant based nutrition, sports nutrition, and ayurvedic nutrition, and even some time studying more intense detox nutritional protocols and optimal eating for cycle syncing or eating in harmony with a Women’s bleed cycle, alongside studying the foundations and basic course work for herbalism. At this time, my studies feel quite well rounded in the space, with much to offer for nutritional guidance and education. I’ve been able to overcome or at least very well manage a lifetime of chronic illnesses in a very natural and healthful way. And in fact, this natural approach is the only path that lead me to my own journey of true healing.

After college, I also went on to study and practice holistic health as a whole, as well as more areas of movement, earning my mat pilates and yoga teacher certifications, and teaching in the space for another couple of years. I followed these up with more courses about the application of movement as medicine, and have deepened my own practice day in and day out.

I’m leading a life grounded, centered, and truly enriched and nourished for seemingly the first time ever in my life. My life until this point had been full of hurt, illness, dysregulation, disconnection, and more hurting. I am forever grateful to have been born with a spirit larger than life, that was so unwilling to quit because healing is possible.

My holistic healing toolbox and resources have grown vastly and become something worthy of sharing with others, helping to enrich the world around me that seems to be ever depleting. I am devoted to my studies and practices in this space. I am a forever student of this earth and of those leading the path before me, always willing to learn more and reroute when needed. I am so grateful to be here, helping others heal and enrich their worlds as well now.

In 2024, I launched a heart share of my herbal apothecary after a couple of years spent creating my own natural body potions, and a few years before that researching and studying natural and toxin free home and body care, and studying and practicing herbalism. At this time, this offering is quite small as it’s just me and my room of flowers and herbs, oils and hydrosols sharing from our hearts and hands. Though we hope a way and time will find us to share on a greater scale and enrich your home and body with natural potions.

At this time, I’m continuing my studies and beginning the journey of hosting womens gatherings centered around health, healing, connection, and play and the vision is truly larger than life. I have a beautiful educational offering in the works for holistic healing, and sharing my teachings, educations, and journey along the way on my social platforms.

I am here to support your health, uplift our vibrancy, and be your tour guide on the path of healing. I’m available for 1:1 support at this time, with a group program surfacing soon. For now, I’ll be here, waiting for it all to unfold.
