  • Holistic Nutritionist and Mother

    Melanie is a holistic nutritionist and wellness expert based in Los Angeles, CA. Her nutrition business Choose Well with Mel, grew from her passion to help women stop dieting and start learning how to eat for their individual bodies. Melanie’s one-size-does-not-fit-all approach to nutrition and wellness has transformed her clients’ lives and her own. After struggling with disordered eating and a toxic relationship with food as a teenager, she constantly felt confused about how to free herself from food guilt. Fortunately, this confusion evolved into more of a fascination-turned-passion. Her purpose is to help others overcome this same struggle.

    Melanie has worked with Melissa Coulier for 4 years, helping her on her healing journey from Lupus. She also works with many clients around the country, helping them live an anti-inflammatory life and mend their relationship with food.

    In her free time, Melanie loves to cook, entertain, and spend time in the California sunshine (with extra SPF). She resides in the Los Angeles area with her husband, Ben, and daughter, Emma.
