What people are saying.

  • I have tried many group type therapies, and all have failed to make progress with the goals I attended them for, except for group coaching with Melissa. This has been the most pleasant and fulfilling experience. I can see real time progress and improvements. My top three goals upon starting the 6-month program were physical, mental, and financial health. Melissa was able to help me work toward these goals by giving guidance and tips as well as teaching me how to make smart goals and adjust when needed. I've recently noticed the ability to be flexible and patient with myself where I normally have not been in the past. The most significant overall change I have noticed has been being purposeful in the things I do for better overall health. I can now tackle larger goals by breaking them up into smaller goals. I'd describe Melissa as very knowledgeable and an extremely proficient educator and listener. I would recommend Melissa to anyone looking for help or guidance with health goals.

  • I started my journey with Cade Blu Health & Lifestyle in October 2022. Once I filled out all the intake paperwork, we began meeting. After our first session in November 2022 and every session after that, Melissa sent me an email with a recap follow-up. It was such wonderful help to keep me on track. I began to see progress and positive changes in my life as she helped me start to work towards goals. With each session she provided me with support, ideas, and valuable information that gave me confidence moving forward. We also did character assessment tests and she helped me to navigate what was most important to me and how to find a balance. I was able to text her during her alotted hours and she was consistently showing up for me in so many ways. She was a great cheerleader and guide. I don't think I could have found the courage to take the leaps of faith without her. We mapped out goals together. She explained Self-Determination (or Intrinsic Motivation) to me. We did breathwork to open each session and help me to get centered as I paused in my busy life. I did some journaling between sessions and have those tools were so helpful. I made some great progress in my professional life, especially, and I have Melissa to thank for that-she is an incredible person that puts you at ease within the first few minutes. She's so kind and so knowledgeable! If you do one thing for yourself this year- have it be working with Melissa!

  • Melissa has been wonderful to work with. She is kind, understanding, sincere, and gentle. She has most definitely guided me to overcome obstacles. Getting back into the gym, getting my nutrition in check, and coming up with a plan to pay off some debt were my areas of focus. She helped me with creating SMART goals and brainstorming how to overcome barriers all while being extremely patient and understanding. She even does random check ins to keep me on my toes! Since having her as my Health & Lifestyle Coach, I am so excited to see the work I continue to do on myself. I feel so much more confidence within myself in being able to accomplish my goals. I feel lighter! I am excited to see where I am at 9 months from now. My future is bright and I thank Melissa so much for working with me!

  • I'm a struggling single mother to two strong and intelligent children, and my life has been dedicated to them. Melissa helped me think about myself again, start to take care of myself again, start to care for myself again, which I really hadn't done in years. I started out a little hesitant, but with an open mind. I couldn't be happier with my experience. She's kind and understanding, and you can tell she really does care about helping you achieve your goals.

  • Melissa is insightful, helpful, gentle and kind. I wanted to work on clean eating, consistently going to the gym and motivation. The biggest change I've noticed is being able to hold myself accountable, but I'm also happier even when things aren't going as planned. I would recommend Melissa to all my family and friends!
