We believe that everyone can learn to become their own health warrior. Our mission through health coaching is to support and guide you and your body on your individual healing journey.
What is a health coach?
SLEEP ISSUES?
HORMONAL HAVOC?
ADRENAL FATIGUE?
WE GOT YOU!
Working with a health coach can help you achieve your health and wellness goals in a transformative way. Unlike most doctors, who usually treat the symptoms of disease, and nutritionists, who often prescribe a one-size-fits-all diet and a lot of unsustainable dietary restrictions to clients, we work with clients and look at not just their diet, but the whole spectrum of a client’s lifestyle choices. Food, exercise, stress, relationships, work/life balance, and spirituality all play an equal part in an individual’s holistic puzzle of health and wellness. There is an overwhelming amount of “health” information out there. Our call to arms is to simplify this whole process and make it accessible. Your body is always searching for a way to heal itself and will do so given the right support. Often, it only takes a few small lifestyle and diet adjustments to see big changes, changes that can help you live your best life and become the happiest and strongest you.
OUR STORY…
2 sisters + 2 coasts = 2 generations of Wellness Insight:
Amanda and Melissa are sisters, almost a decade apart, but the best of friends. Growing up together in the Washington, DC area, they learned the joy of cooking and baking from their mother, Donna, and their Aunt Adele. Living on opposite coasts, Amanda in Brooklyn and Melissa in LA, we’ve always spent many hours on the phone swapping health stories and wellness tips. Each struggling with their own bag of health issues, they have both always shared a passion for alternative and holistic health.
Melissa Nesic
Melissa, the oldest, found this path when she began having gut related illnesses, anxiety and severe inflammatory reactions in her mid 20’s. Frustrated by the lack of answers her doctors provided, her healing journey began. After 20 years of starring in films and TV, she decided to make integrative health her career. After training at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition(IIN), her secret dream of helping to heal others is now a reality. Hormonal imbalance, gut and adrenal health, along with children’s holistic health remedies are her main focus.
Amanda Rurak
Amanda, the youngest, has always been into some far out health trends, however, she really dove into her own health mission when she was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease in late 2017. Amanda wanted to try a more holistic approach before ever taking any pharmaceuticals, which led her to discover the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (“IIN”). Amanda enrolled in IIN in the spring of 2018 and knew her sister would love this program as well, since they always discussed their own approaches to health and wellness. Despite Amanda’s highly demanding job working in the business intelligence space (aka being a corporate spy), she has made health a priority and wants to share what she has learned with others struggling with similar issues.

TESTIMONIALS
“Melissa instantly puts people at ease because she’s generally interested in what people have to say and can relate. She is a mom who understands the demands of being a working mom and is really good at guiding us to look after ourselves in a way that is not overwhelming. She is thoughtful and is able to simplify all of the info out there into something that makes sense to the average busy human. I cannot recommend her more highly.”

“(Melissa’s Pow Wows) are an invaluably safe space to share and discuss hormonal challenges as well as positive stories with other women. We learned from each other and bonded over our shared experiences. It was a truly positive experience!”
Michelle, Los Angeles
“I absolutely loved Melissa’s Pow Wow and the idea of getting ladies together to have a space to share the things we don’t normally talk about. Melissa created a wonderful space and shared some very insightful things. Can’t wait for the next one!
