After working with me, many of my clients have experienced their:
Hello, I’m Melissa Baca, As a Certified Integrative Nutrition & Wellness Coach, I have a passion to help those that feel stuck in our current system and don’t know where to turn for help. I suffered from asthma as a teen and young adult. The treatment I received growing up did not promote healing or health. Instead, it weakened my body and immune system and kept me dependent on treatments that just maintained the status quo. When I learned that the main cause for my asthma was inflammation, a great curiosity began within me. It led me to discover that many of the chronic illnesses we suffer from today can be reversed, improved or avoided all together, through simple changes in our diet and lifestyle. I began to feel empowered and found that I had choices. I no longer felt stuck.
My education along with my curiosity created options which lead me to a life free from asthma, prescription drugs, hospitalization and breathing treatments. The foundation of my approach starts with education. When we learn we have options, we can make different choices. One of my greatest joys is seeing my clients make new choices and create habits that promote health and watching their lives change.
I've also spoken at events like the: Annual Health Symposium, Christian Women Connection, Canta Mia Senior Community, Take off Pounds in Sun City West, Community Association Management on health in the workplace; Surprise, AZ and the Lions Club in Spokane, WA. I've also been published in Grand LifeStyles Magazine.

This eye-opening workshop will teach you how the food industry has co-opted the system for profit and how current nutrition advice is far from healthy. With greater awareness, you'll make better decisions for the healthy life you desire.
In four, hands-on sessions, you'll learn what foods contribute to your specific condition or illness. Gain confidence to shop and cook with foods you KNOW are making a difference in your overall health.
Take your health to an all new level with six or eight private coaching sessions. Your custom sessions will make grocery shopping and cooking a breeze. Your new habits will become second nature. You will be well equipped to continue your journey and reach your health goals.
Single servings are simple ways to introduce healthy changes into your lifestyle.
Completely transform your grocery shopping with my guided grocery store tour. You'll learn to confidently read and understand labels and to identify clean, safe and healthy food brands accessible to you.
Bonus: Shopping Guide included
Healthy eating begins at home. Learn what to purge and what to keep in your home. Gain convenient and healthy alternative options and suggestions that work with your schedule and skills.
Need a periodic check-in, or extra motivation to keep the course? My 90-minute consultation is a one time appointment you can schedule as needed. No coaching package required.
Coaching with Melissa not only helped me learn to make better food choices, it also showed me the stresses in my life that lead me to make choices that are not in my best interest. Melissa is easy to talk with and is fully invested in showing ways to make your life happier and healthier with excellent tips and ideas. She works with all aspects of your life, not just what you are eating but why you are eating certain things and what you can do to change the things that cause you stress. Being something of a junk food addict, I was hesitant to start coaching with Melissa because even though I know what I eat is not good for me, I love it! Melissa promised me that I would not have to eat broccoli or give up chocolate cake. She made good on that promise! She taught me that if you pay better attention to what you are eating and how it makes you feel and why you are eating, it's easy to choose more nutritious foods without having to totally give up the things you love. So you can have that slice of cake just maybe not the WHOLE cake!
