**A Life-Changing Experience with an Extraordinary RD**
If you're looking for a dietitian who goes above and beyond in every possible way, look no further than Melissa. This is a lengthy review but please read because I KNOW there is a mama out there that was like me. When we first reached out to Thrive our son had extremely painful stools, with lots of crying (from us both) which often took hours to pass. We spent so much money on supplements, on miralax and even resorting to laxatives. My issue was that he was such a picky eater I didn't know what to feed him anymore. So, I came to her seeking a plan after coming across the GAPs diet. I was a mess- unorganized, overwhelmed and stressed out. I needed a guide, a modifiable plan and I was willing to do the work to heal not only my son, but my family.
From our very first meeting, it was clear that Melissa is more than just a skilled professional--she's a compassionate guide, a genuine source of inspiration, and a mama who understands LIFE. And sometimes I feel like I am talking to a therapist during our appointments. Her dedication to addressing our son's health concerns was remarkable, but it was her holistic approach that truly set her apart.
You see, what truly stands out is how Melissa embraced the unique needs of our family, as we have a daughter who has autism. Melissa has given so much hope and support not just for our son, but for all of us. She has been an incredible source of motivation for me, offering thoughtful and practical advice that has uplifted our entire family. Her insights have empowered us to make positive changes and to approach our challenges with renewed energy and optimism. After each appointment I am learning and making things I never have (but always wanted to make!!) and more importantly my kids are eating it!!! I feel so much better with what they are getting in their bodies!
Her willingness to share tailored tips and strategies for our son that I can implement for our daughter too has made a world of difference. Melissa has shown us that her commitment to her work is matched only by her genuine care for her clients. We are incredibly grateful!
If you're seeking someone who combines professional expertise with heartfelt empathy, Melissa is the person you need. She is a true gem. read more
