Hi I'm Dr.Melyssa!
You're in the right place if:
-
You feel tired, bloated, inflamed, and unwell for no obvious reason.
​
-
Your symptoms have just started or have been around for years.​
​​
-
You’re know your bathroom habits aren’t “normal” and you’re unsure what to do about them (you know what I’m talking about… swinging from scared-to-leave-the-house loose stools to days without a visit to the toilet…)
​
-
You’re tried multiple restrictive diet plans, but can’t seem to stick with them long term.
​
-
You feel like a totally different person, depending on where you are in your monthly cycle.
​
-
You’re tried handfuls of supplements and medications with only temporary relief, or worse, no relief at all.
​
-
You’ve been told all your tests are “normal” even though you don’t feel normal.
​
-
You’re secretly worried something deeper is going on and wondering when anyone will ever take your symptoms seriously.
​
-
You’re fed up with having to plan your life around how you feel physically.
​​
Many of my patients have tried everything: elimination diets, low FODMAP diet, probiotics, antibiotics, hormonal herbal blends, cleanses, stomach acid lowering medications, and endless supplement protocols… yet still feel stuck.
​
My approach centers on identifying and treating imbalances in the gut microbiome that causes bloating, IBS, SIBO, food sensitivities, pain, migraines, autoimmunity, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, PCOS, PMS, anxiety, and low mood.
​
Together we build a clear, personalized plan that moves you forward, without having to give up everything you love in life.
​
I want you to know you don’t have to settle for living every day feeling anything less than your best. There are effective natural treatment options I would love to show you.
More About My Approach
I understand how frustrating it is when it it feels like nothing is working, despite how much energy and effort you've invested. How discouraging it is when no one is listening to you. How overwhelmed you feel when you have no control over your body or your symptoms.
​
I believe you deserve so much more than this. I believe you deserve to be heard and understood. I believe you deserve to know what's going wrong with your body. I believe you deserve to accomplish your goals, enjoy time with your loved ones, and dream your wildest dreams without worrying whether your symptoms will stop you. I believe the world needs you and you've struggled long enough.
​
As a Naturopathic Doctor, I listen, empower, and educate my patients to take the steps necessary to get to a point where they are living well without worrying about their health slowing them down. We work as a team to dig deeper into what is going wrong in your body and correct it with a realistic and sustainable plan. (And no, you don't need to be taking handfuls of pills, attending tons of appointments, or following crazy restrictive diets!)
​
You are capable of healing with the right tools, habits, and environment. Together, we can get you there.
