Get Your Life Back.
Powerful one-on-one health coaching & online course to help you prevent, halt & often times reverse chronic illness.
stop guessing & start living well.
Health is wealth.
But let’s face it, life’s full of obstacles that get in the way.
Diet & lifestyle choices help create health or hinder it — the older we get, the more important that is.
You have the power to take more control of your health, but it’s hard to know how to create good health, or where to start. Until now.
It’s time to end the roller coaster that just leads to disappointment. No more fad diets, self-help books, hitting the gym hard and getting only 10 minutes with the doctor.
It’s time to get a certified health coach who will be your personalized guide to wellness. Like most things in life, it’s easier, quicker and more successful when working with an expert who can give you the info, tools & strategies you need.
Melissa will help you achieve health & wellness goals you may have thought never possible. She’ll show you the way.

-
Have More Energy
You want to do what you want with freedom and not be held back by anything. When transitioning to a plant-based diet, one of the first things many women report is having all-day energy — something they thought never possible again. Sleep better, have enduring energy and more.
Be well-nourished for an active future.
-
Experience More Health
Having deep-down good health means enjoying more precious moments with loved ones. Using food as medicine often reduces the need for medications and doctor visits and increases quality of life.
It’s never too late (or early) to start.
-
Enjoy More Life
Being in midlife doesn’t mean succumbing to spiraling poor health. For decades, so many women have worked hard taking care of others first and now it’s time to enjoy the fruits of labor making the most out of life. Feel sexy again. Play with the grandkids. Travel far & wide.
Keep impacting the world.

Hello! I’m here to help.
Melissa Furman, National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach
Life is hard enough. Living healthfully can seem harder. It requires the right information based in quality scientific research and a whole new set of tools, strategies and a plan to navigate it well. This often doesn’t come to people naturally, especially as they age because what worked in our 20s doesn’t always work in our 50s or beyond. This is a common problem, that has an effective solution.
Today, more and more corporations, insurance companies, health systems and celebrities are hiring health coaches. Why? Because coaches who are credentialed help people get healthier and enjoy a better quality of life. This saves everyone time and money on so many levels. Guessing your way to health trying fads and old ways is a recipe for failure. But following the lead of someone who knows how to use diet & lifestyle to create good health — now THAT is a recipe for success.
You don’t have to be rich to hire a health coach. You just have to WANT to live healthier and be willing to put in a little bit of work up front. Then things get easier and you’ll wonder why you didn’t start sooner! Change can be hard but living with illness is always harder. I’ve seen some amazing health improvements in my clients, and I’d love to show you the way to some amazing results too.
Set up your free Discovery Call today and feeling better could be just around the corner for you. Can’t wait to talk to you!
“I see lives changed for the better on every coaching call, because my clients are shifting their food choices in meaningful ways that promote health.

Watching my clients thrive is so rewarding!”

Testimonials
“I’ve only been in the program for 4 weeks, and I am surprised that I don’t crave sweet desserts anymore. My husband and son eat dessert every night but I don’t anymore and that’s ok because I don’t want it. I also don’t have nearly as much joint pain or inflammation as I usually do.”
— “Angela,” 40-something Taxi Super Mom & Medical Professional
Some of Angela’s successes: in just 4 weeks of the SYWM she has less joint pain, less inflammation, no dessert cravings, and more energy
“My dilemma was that I didn't know where to start. This [program] gives me step-by-step information, a framework, it gives me instructions. For me, that is really key.,.. and the amount and breadth of information here, I don't think I ever would be able to accumulate this kind of information…. In the past it has been arduous, the idea of getting recipes and all that. This [course] is connecting it. The fact that I have a structured program, I talk to you every week, gives me a framework to move forward in. And the idea that I made a commitment to this change and a sense that I'm really taking care of myself. I've always been pretty good about eating healthy, but I was in a rut.”
— “Brenda,” 60-Something RV Explorer & Engineer
Some of Brenda’s successes: sleeps better, lost weight she didn’t think she could lose, clearer more positive attitude, no more sugar cravings, trying new things; the overarching benefits are reaching into her job and planning for her future retirement
“You’ve helped me with life-long skills to get me back on track, to live healthy and make the best of the moments we have. You have made me more conscious of my habits… I’m getting better. I’m becoming a better person as a whole because of you. Your approach is more wholistic.”
— “Carla,” 60-Something World Traveler & Retired Executive
Some of Carla’s successes: more energy, sleeping better, more motivated to cook plant-based, sharing her new lifestyle with family (who also enjoys it), empowered to use her unique giftings to help others, books active travel vacations regularly, has deeper spiritual connection with her body and God
“Since I started trying to eat plant-based, I’ve lost 9 pounds!”
— “Darlene,” 70-Something Doting Grandma & Clergy Wife
Some of Darlene’s successes: sleeps better, wakes refreshed, has motivation to get out of bed, has new hope for a future with her grandkids
“Hi, Melissa, after talking to you yesterday, I decided to go check my pulse rate with a cardiologist. My son…was able to get me an appointment today. Turns out my heart rate is slow and the doctor is taking me off of a blood pressure medicine. He said it was too much and that’s why my heart rate was slowing…Thank you for giving me a push! It was a relief to hear!”
— “Wendy,” 70-Something Small Town Resident & Children’s Therapist
Some of Darlene’s successes: sleeps better, more energy, happier, hopeful for healthier future; >>>Darlene’s doctor eventually took her off of FOUR blood pressure medicines over the course of 6 weeks of plant-based eating
