Testimonials of SuperKids Nutrition & Melissa’s Work
Speaking Testimonials
Melissa has a fun energy and is very prepared and focused during her presentations. She encouraged feedback and questions during the meetings which also were addressed added to the fun atmosphere.
My biggest take away was to DRINK MORE WATER! I live in Colorado so you would think that would be a natural but I had slipped into neglect. I now have a glass of water with me at all times, working, driving, walking, working out and it has truly been a game changer for me. Melissa also gave tips on how to make getting hydrated easy and delicious!
There was a LOT packed into the five days, eating the rainbow, meditating, moving your body, breathing, so many easy to add practices and habits into your life. She also gave PRIZES! I won the best prize of a personal nutrition consult because of my response and participation in the homework. Others won copies of her books which are a great reference and resource in our home. Thanks Melissa!
The challenge was on zoom, and Melissa is a very engaging speaker. She has a great balance between lecture, lighthearted and practical info as well as eliciting feedback from the group. Her mindful exercises/homework between sessions really helped engaged my brain, my level of commitment and make the lessons stick.
Melissa is extremely knowledgeable about nutrition. I really liked her practical and highly customized approach. She makes you feel like you can eat anything as long as you are making other healthy choices and doing it all mindfully.
This class was fun and informative and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a deeper level of engagement with nutrition!
