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 (seriously, since I was 20—read more here) 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 plant-based recipes are designed to be nutrient-dense, and fiber-rich to support your children’s growth, your family’s longevity, and overall wellness. I focus on dairy-free, vegan meals that are perfect for busy weeknights and guaranteed to please the whole family, even with limited time to prepare. Whether you’re looking for quick, vegan meals or a nutritious, plant-based snack, you’ll find a variety of vibrant smoothies, hearty soups, and fresh salads here on my website—each dish designed to simplify mealtime and empower families to build healthy habits together. Let’s make healthy eating a joyful family adventure!
