Meet the Founder
Melissa is the Founder and CEO of Whole Body Health Team. Born and raised in Canada, she has been helping people for over 25 years, spending much of her career as a psychotherapist working in mental health, trauma and addictions. She also worked in the pharmaceutical industry for many years focused on medical education.
Realizing the importance of treating the whole body, Melissa pursued further education in Functional Nutrition Counselling, allowing her to help her clients on a whole new level. Understanding that physical health and mental health are connected is KEY to unlocking true wellness. She is a self-proclaimed “professional student”, having taken numerous courses over the years in reflexology, aromatherapy, Body Talk, CBT, as well as being trained with Brene Brown in The Daring Way™. She believes the vulnerability of living your life “in the arena” is hard, but the alternative is even harder.

Melissa is passionate about health & wellness and helping others. The dream of Whole Body Health Team came from years of frustration in watching and experiencing personally the inability to feel better and understand what is going on. Frustrated with prescriptions and medications that often do more damage, she became focused on creating something different. A place for healing, education and whole body wellness – finally & forever.
She believes wholeheartedly in listening, understanding, investigating and supporting. Our bodies are amazing communicators that we need to pay attention to.
We have one awesome life to live and we all deserve better care so we can live it fully.
