Meet Melanie

Hi, I am a nationally recognized Holistic Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and Community Herbalist helping women across the country heal their digestive systems and tune into their inner wisdom with the support of natural tools to feel light, confident, energized, and uplifted. I’ve chosen to support post-menopausal women out of a deep desire to help them prevent diseases that have impacted the women in my family, including dementia, arthritis, generalized inflammation, edema, and osteoporosis.

I support women in tapping into their body's natural wisdom and ability to come back into balance and become whole emotionally, physically, and spiritually when provided with the right tools.

My program incorporates emotional work, visualization, herbal medicine, energy work, and various other modalities to address the root causes of dis-ease, offering holistic solutions for overall well-being with customized support.

I was officially diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) in 2007, and have been educating myself for the past 16 years on various topics related to healing rooted in mind-body medicine. I received multiple certifications in herbalism inspired by my own healing journey. I have traveled across the world to learn about medicinal plants, including completion of a Flower Essence Practitioner Training in Costa Rica, where I learned how to use flowers for emotional healing.

I am also certified by the Institute of Integrative Nutrition as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and completed courses in Ayurveda, vagus nerve activation, and energy work. And lastly, I am noted for my passion for connecting people to healthy practices such as these, while tapping into their roots and living in harmony with nature. I offer life changing solutions through my signature Root 2 Rise Program and nature connection opportunities through plant medicine classes for adults and children. My inspiration for creating Root 2 Rise Wellness is rooted in self-empowerment; our bodies know how to come back into balance when given the right support.

The health seeker in me honors the health seeker in you.

Namaste,

When I began working with Melanie I was extremely constipated, but more than that I was completely stuck and disconnected from my body. I had been diagnosed with IBS decades earlier and was struggling with more recent diagnoses of SIBO, multiple food allergies, and was trying to navigate differing instructions of doctors and specialists with regard to diet and remedies.

A recent course of regular antibiotics and anti-fungal put my whole system into a head spin, and I had lost a significant amount of weight. That was the point I met Melanie, who got me onto a totally new trajectory.

I now have regular bowels and what's more, the techniques Melanie taught me have helped me form a new relationship with my body where I feel safe to trust it and know what to do when I stumble. This new found connection of reclaiming my internal wholeness has been huge for my healing journey. I am so grateful for Melanie and I highly recommend her programs to anyone looking for transformational change"

"Melanie is an energetic, positive force. She is very educated in so many ways to heal emotionally and physically. She worked with me with herbs, recipe ideas, detoxing, constipation, SIBO, meditation, tapping, using a ball for self massage, bloodwork, epson salt baths, etc. We worked on my nervous system, eliminating foods and preparing me for a detox. She has a wealth of knowledge and I think she is an "Old Soul". I highly recommend her and her 6 month recommended commitment. Ginger Edwards, LCMHC"

-Ginger Edwards, Durham, NC

"I recently completed a 6-month 1:1 coaching program with Melanie, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. As someone new to holistic techniques, I felt incredibly supported by Melanie, who has been a true "sherpa" on my wellness journey. She listened attentively to my experiences and thoughtfully guided me to explore various methods that addressed my unique needs. Her extensive knowledge and compassionate approach have significantly improved my mind, spirit, and body wellness. If you're tired of struggling with health concerns on your own, I highly recommend Melanie’s 1:1 coaching. You'll gain invaluable knowledge and the support needed to truly feel better."
