Hi, I'm Mellani! I'm a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (basically a fancy way of saying I help women get to the root of what's going on with their health through food, lifestyle & a little detective work) & the founder of Mari. I work with women in their 40s & 50s whose bodies stopped following the old rules: eat less, move more & you'll feel fine. I hit my mid-40s & those rules stopped working for me too. Weight crept up, my mood was all over the place, sleep got erratic & my labs looked less than great.

This wasn't new territory for me either, I'd already had my gallbladder removed & dealt with fertility struggles, so I knew something deeper was going on. My doctor's advice was the same generic "eat less, move more." I needed a plan made just for me. That's when I found nutritional therapy & blood sugar regulation & everything clicked. It wasn't about what I was eating, it was how.

For the first time I felt in control without giving up a single food I loved. Now through 1:1 coaching, I help women build a plan that fits their body & life. Small shifts that fit into real life. No calorie counting, no restriction, no starting over every Monday.
