Melissa is registered nurse, board certified functional medicine practitioner, board certified nurse coach and approved continuing education provider.
She has over a decade of nursing experience and is a seasoned nurse educator and public speaker. After struggling with multiple undiagnosed conditions for several years she learned how powerful functional medicine modalities can be for reversing disease processes.
Throughout her experience within the conventional medical model as a nurse and a patient herself, she witnessed the brokenness and corruption of the conventional medical model.
This experience motivated her to create a private functional medicine practice that respects patient’s rights, focuses on the root cause of disease and implements lifestyle and nutritional interventions to heal the body.
After establishing a successful practice, Melissa then created Functional Nurse Academy with the mission to foster an alternative healthcare model that focuses on true health and wellness. Through functional medicine training and business mentorship, Melissa empowers nurses with the necessary knowledge and tools to leave sick-care behind and thrive in both functional medicine and entrepreneurship.
