Hi I am Coach Melisa, Co-owner of Ananda Gardens.

Welcome to our wellness offerings!

Ananda Gardens  is the place where I live, work, and practice the principles I coach — nourishment, movement, rest, creativity, connection, and sustainability.

Here, integrative health and wellness are not abstract ideas, but lived daily through relationship with food, seasons, imagination and rhythm. From this grounded context, I offer individual coaching and group workshops that support sustainable, real‑life well‑being.

I support individuals and groups in cultivating their health and wellbeing through integrative coaching rooted in lifestyle medicine, plant‑based nutrition, and sustainable daily practices so they can live a creative, meaningful and purposeful life in connection to the land. My work is offered online globally and, on a limited basis, in person on Ananda Gardens where I live and practice.

Seeking Sustainable
Wellness?

 Our Wellness offerings are for individuals and groups seeking a grounded, evidence‑based approach to wellness — without quick fixes, pressure, or perfection. Wellness is not something to optimize or perfect. It is something to practice — within real bodies, real lives, and real environments.

 

This is for you if you’re ready for a supportive, values‑aligned partnership.

Ananda Gardens is a living environment that supports reflection, embodiment, and greater awareness of how health is shaped by daily choices, environments, and relationships.

Whether we meet virtually or in person, the values and lessons of this place are woven into my coaching work: sustainability over perfection, regulation over pressure, and connection over control.
