Hi! I'm Melissa Adrian. đź‘‹

I am a certified personal trainer, nutrition coach & intuitive eating counselor who has been in the wellness industry for 20 years. I spent 10 years as a college instructor teaching Personal Training & nutrition to other students pursuing a career in the fitness industry. After recognizing the harms of the traditional diet/exercise/weight loss models, both in myself & my clients, I made a shift toward Intuitive Eating and found an incredible amount of freedom & joy with this method. My passion is helping clients get started on a path to true health in a way that is intuitive, fun & effective.

Core beliefs - Autonomy, Empowerment, Joy

every woman has the right to love the skin she’s in, Rediscover the joy of eating & be the creator of her own path to health.

Finding Joy

Over the years I’ve seen a pattern with many of the clients I work with. One that I can certainly relate to, and maybe you can too. 

 They are often stuck ping-ponging between dieting (restrictive, rigid) and the rebound of dieting (no boundaries, disconnected from their body). 

 They feel stuck, frustrated, overwhelmed…maybe even hopeless when it comes to their health goals.  

 What they really want is to feel strong & healthy & confident in their skin, and perhaps most importantly, find peace in their relationship with food. But they have only known these two options and both feel terrible. 

 I love showing my clients a new path - one that helps them reconnect to their body, find peace with food & ultimately carve out their truest, healthiest path.

I teach & believe in:

  • Intuitive Eating

  • Joyful Movement

  • Mindset Tools & Eating Psychology

  • Nutrition & Fitness plans based in research & science (not fads & fear)

  • Body Positivity & Health at Every Size

  • YOU. I believe in you and your own inner wisdom’s ability to guide you on your journey.

If you feel out of control with your eating but know dieting isn’t the way, I can show you a different path. Both my 1:1 coaching & group programs are focused on helping people do just this.

Testimonials from past clients & program PARTICIPANTS:

“I'm typically an all-or-nothing girl. I get very "obsessed" with measuring, counting, and planning food, so much so that it is unsustainable and no fun at all. This program creates a realistic plan for overall wellness. It is a sustainable plan, with no weighing, obsessing, etc. Just be mindful of what you put on your plate, how to combine healthy options, and how you feel as you eat/when you stop. The exercises are presented in a way that can be challenging for beginners and experts. The videos that show the proper form for each exercise make you feel confident, knowing you are doing them correctly. This program is very informative and something that everyone (beginners and seasoned athletes) can benefit from. Melissa rocks!” – Sara C.

“Finally, a plan is DOABLE!! I'm a mom of 2 kiddos, with a full-time job and a husband who travels....a lot. Exercising and taking care of myself always fell to the back burner, because I just couldn't figure out how to fit it all in. This program helped me to make small, easy, changes each week to make a huge difference in my lifestyle! I literally couldn't believe how easy it was, and kept thinking I had to "do more", yet Melissa was actually teaching me how to achieve more by doing less of what I thought I HAD to do, in order to succeed.” -Sarah F.


“Melissa has a great comprehensive program. If you'll follow it, your body WILL improve. She will give you all the support you need to be successful. Go for it!” -Jean H.


“This program is a no-brainer if you're looking for support with working out and treating your body better! Melissa answers every crazy question and checks in with me personally. With her help I ran my fastest mile yet!” – Rosey S.


"This program is amazing! Melissa makes everything so real and simplifies everything so I don't feel overwhelmed. She is so positive and encouraging, and that has helped me stay with the program! I've learned lots and feel like I am making lasting changes!" - Mandy


“I love love LOVE this program so much! Melissa is amazing at cutting through all the junk out there. I know I've tried just about everything out there, but nothing lasted longer than 3 weeks and certainly wasn't sustainable outside the program. This one is so different. I've learned so many tools to lead a healthy lifestyle, learned that workouts don't have to kill you to be effective, and that you can be healthy without it being the only thing you have to focus on (because-hello-I have a life). Not to mention the peace and acceptance surrounding my health journey. If you're looking for something to kick start your own health journey, but want something full of balance and to fit into your already busy schedule then definitely check this out. I really can't recommend it enough.” – Keri C.

 

My Goal is to empower You to find the path that works best for You in a way that is intuitive and simple so that YOU can reach YOUR goals, create a healthy relationship with food & find JOY in the journey.
