Melissa Johanson, RMT

Melissa is a dedicated professional who has been engaged in the healthcare industry for 14 years. Starting out in the area of sales for a major sports nutrition and supplements company, Melissa was inspired to get educated in and work more intimately with the human body, in particular in the realm of facilitating healing and change, ultimately becoming a Registered Massage Therapist.  Melissa has had a highly-rated, successful multi-disciplinary practice in this area for 12 years. She has worked as a Clinic Supervisor and Outreach Supervisor for two colleges.  She has supervised in-reach programs for patients with Multiple Sclerosis, and several outreaches that include: Friends for Life – patients living with HIV, Aids or terminal illnesses such as Cancer; Louie Brier Home for the Elderly; and the Burn Unit at Vancouver General Hospital.  All of this education and experience, both professional and personal, is drawn upon and brought into every session with Melissa.

After a period of many years struggling with her own health issues and happiness, Melissa discovered the way to address and resolve the problem was through holistic methods. This means that there wasn’t one “quick fix”, one panacea, or magic pill. Instead, all aspects of one’s life had to meld together harmoniously to bring health and happiness: a fulfilling career, meaningful and healthy relationships, good nutrition, regular exercise, joy, and spirituality.  Exploring, evaluating and changing these things is not an easy endeavour for any individual, and Melissa had to reach out several times for guidance and assistance along the way.

So why health coaching?  Because finally there is support for this journey. Because everything starts from our own health. How we sleep, think, move, breathe, digest, feel and perform.

We are each unique, and have different needs and thus require different paths to achieve the optimum functionality of all these life aspects. Discovering this can be overwhelming when there are thousands of different diets, exercise programs, meditations, careers and relationships to navigate through. My goal is to support you along a journey to discover exactly what works for you – not what worked for me, someone else or the latest fad or trend, but what really works for you and gives you palpable progress and results.

My goal is to support and educate that will allow you to discover confidence in yourself, in making the best health decisions, listening and feeling what your body and mind are telling you. All the tools to know what is right for you are already within you waiting to be released – a very powerful, liberating process. 

I hope to begin to restore the vitality in you. You will feel alive, satisfied and energized after eating, light and energetic in your body, waking up excited for what the day has in store for you, laughing full and hard along the way, and going to sleep at peace.  I want you to be the best version of you – that is what gives me professional joy and what I pride myself in. Let me help you live life more fully.
