Melissa McManus
Aromatherapy Certification Program graduate“I believe that health is a total lifestyle, not just a diet.”
How Melissa turned her own health challenges into help.
I feel that I have been through many health challenges so that I can help other people. I have done a lot of work to figure out what works for me, and to reach the point of feeling healthy and strong.
My own diet is plant-based with healthy Omega 3 fish and gluten-free. I now eliminate all possible toxins from my home, including those from food, cleaning products, and beauty products. The result is feeling fantastic, and often being told that I look younger than I am. I maintain a healthy weight without counting calories or feeling deprived. And I eat. After all, I was born into a culture ( New Orleans) where We live to eat, not eat to live.
I live my life by the four pillars of health...Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude, and Nutrition.
The Complete Balance
As a board certified Holistic Health Coach and Aromatherapist, I help my clients accomplish their own diet and lifestyle goals, to live their healthiest and most vibrant lives. I believe that health is a total lifestyle, not just a diet. This results in simple changes that are holistic, lasting, and fun.
As a New Orleans based Certified Health Coach and Aromatherapist, I provide a wide range of services to help individuals and families achieve their wellness goals. My services focus on individual and family consultations as my passion is working with and helping others find complete balance in their lives, for their own health and for their loved ones.
