Meet Our Staff

Melissa was born and raised in the Tampa Bay area.  She received both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University of South Florida and is Board Certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner.  She has worked in the medical field for over 15 years, but it was her own personal struggles with thyroid disease, food sensitivities, and weight that led her to her passion for functional/integrative and preventative medicine.  She is devoted to helping her patients navigate their own paths to feeling and looking their best.  In her free time, Melissa enjoys boating, fishing, mountain biking, and Muay Thai.
