Plant-Based Nutritionist for Families in the San Francisco Bay Area and Quebec, Canada

Hi, I’m Melissa—a mom of four, triathlete, marathon runner, and a passionate advocate for family wellness. Born in Montreal, raised in Florida, and now living in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’m loving life every day (well, most days)! I’ve dedicated my life (the past 24 years) to empowering families like yours to thrive through nourishing, plant-based nutrition, especially here in the Bay Area.

My Passion for Family Wellness Through Plant-Based Eating

On this blog, I share quick, family-focused, and kid-approved recipes inspired by my own family’s health journey. As a certified Holistic Nutritionist, Health Coach (weight loss coach), and Personal Trainer, with training from Stanford’s Center for Health Education and Case Western Reserve University, I have been creating delicious, plant-based recipes for over 20 years that make healthy eating simple, joyful, and family-friendly—even for picky eaters. I focus on creating meals that are perfect for busy weeknights and help support your family’s health and longevity.

Quick, Healthy, and Delicious Plant-Based Recipes

My nutrient-dense, fiber-rich, and refined sugar-free (except for some dark chocolate) recipes support your children’s growth, family longevity, and overall wellness. Focused on dairy-free, vegan meals, I create simple, flavorful dishes perfect for busy weeknights. From vibrant smoothies to hearty soups and fresh salads, every recipe is designed to simplify mealtime and help families build healthy habits together. Let’s make healthy eating a joyful family adventure!
