I was struggling with digestive issues and getting enough vegetables in my meals. She guided me with practical advice that made a big difference. I now include vegetables in every meal, something I never thought I’d stick to. I feel so much better and more confident knowing I’m nourishing myself and my baby well. I highly recommend her to any expecting mama.
Before starting nutrition coaching, I struggled with choosing what to eat during high-stress times or when my energy was low. I had done the diet thing but couldn’t sustain healthy eating habits. I needed guidance to make lasting changes. My biggest takeaway was realizing that while I wasn’t eating terribly, my meal frequency was a major challenge to achieving my nutrition goals. Now, I eat more frequently and choose nutrient-dense foods. Mel’s encouraging style kept me on track, and I appreciated the pacing of our sessions. I would recommend her to others.
Mel creates a safe space to have conversations around nutrition. She listens and answers my questions with empathy no matter how small or frivolous they might seem to me. I also appreciate that she grounds her perspective and answers in science, reminding me what is fact versus fad (which is hard in today’s world of social media – everyone has an opinion and it’s often conflicting!).
Mel was such a gem! I’m so glad I was able to find her to help me control my blood sugar. She was so informative and provided incredible guidance. I’ve had other nutritionist consultations but I was quite surprised that Mel was not the same as the others. She provided great tips as well.
She went above and beyond, helped me make meal plans, adjusted them throughout to make it easier for me and nourish me along with the baby. Long story short, I felt so much better after working with her and ended up having a happy and healthy baby girl!
I highly recommend Well by Mel Nutrition to any expecting or new mothers. I am a first time mom and exclusively breastfeeding. From snack ideas to recipes she sent to me after our session, Mel was an absolutely invaluable resource. We also discussed vitamins and the science behind what my body is currently doing. She is incredibly knowledgeable and her services highly recommended.
I felt very out-of-control around sugar. I had previously tried calorie counting and counting added sugar intake and these approaches made me feel very stressed out. I also was a very picky eater who struggled to get fruits and vegetables into my diet. I wanted to improve my diet and to have balanced nutritional approach before having kids, in order to have healthy pregnancies and a healthy perspective on food to teach our future kids. I learned so much during coaching about what a balanced approach to nutrition looks like and how to build balanced meals and snacks. I now eat so many more foods! I have also lost about ten pounds, feel energized and less stressed surrounding what I eat. When working with Mel, I did not feel judged for my shortcomings and felt that she really helped me work through each specific concern that I had.
Before starting BBM, I struggled with food noise and anxiety during early pregnancy. I was looking for reassurance and guidance to make healthy choices. Mel’s coaching helped me achieve food acceptance and make healthier decisions for my pregnancy. Mel’s coaching style was amazing—thorough and adaptive to my work-life balance.
I joined BBM because I struggled with gestational diabetes, weight loss, and eating habits. Before BBM, I felt overwhelmed by the conflicting information available online, which left me confused. I wanted personalized coaching that fit my lifestyle.
My biggest takeaway is that I am no longer confused or overwhelmed. I now know how to read food labels and nutritional facts. Mel helped me understand that managing gestational diabetes isn’t just about food; small changes in my schedule, sleep, and exercise also contribute to my health. I appreciated that she took the time to get to know me and my lifestyle, providing realistic ideas based on my schedule.
