“I now feel like I can trust myself and my body when it comes to making food decisions.”

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.

“I was struggling a lot with IBD and all day sickness during my pregnancy and felt very limited in what I could eat. Working with Mel made the world of a difference.“

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 feel less stressed about feeding myself on a daily basis.”

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.

“Nutrition in pregnancy is so important, and thanks to her support, I’ve been able to make really positive, sustainable changes in my diet.”

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.

“I found myself with a lot of questions regarding how to maximize my nutrition while breastfeeding, and Mel had all the answers for me.”

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.

“On social media there are lots of ideas that don’t apply to my situation so this was the most powerful part of having a personal coach.”

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.

“Mel created a safe space to discuss your goals, talk through your history, and never made you feel bad about any cheat meals”

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.

“As someone who can often be critical of myself, I always leave conversations with Mel with greater respect, appreciation, and kindness for my body.”

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!). 

LIZ

“I experienced minimal weight gain, increased energy, and little to no nausea or reflux”

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.
