I help midlife women feel grounded, energized, and at home in their bodies again by restoring balance and connection from the inside out.
About Melanie
Hello, I’m Melanie, the founder of Root 2 Rise Wellness. I’m an integrative nutrition health coach and clinical herbalist helping midlife women restore balance in their bodies through sleep, digestion, and stress support. I teach women to understand why their body feels off — and guide them with gentle, natural tools for lasting wellness.
My passion for natural healing began in childhood, inspired by stories like Strega Nona and early experiences with plants. These formative moments sparked a lifelong connection to nature and its restorative powers.
However, life led me away from these roots. By 2013, I faced significant health challenges, including digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and anxiety- even going a semester of college with little to no sleep. Seeking healing, I left my speech pathology job in New York and embarked on a transformative journey abroad. Living in a refurbished chicken coop with no internet, a compost toilet, and fellow plant enthusiasts, I immersed myself in the study of herbalism and holistic practices. This period rekindled my connection to nature and set me on a path to help others find balance and wellness.
