​I help you become a problem-solver.
We do it using nutrition and lifestyle.

After living with constant pain, fatigue, brain fog, numbness, acid reflux, heartburn, bloating, dry eyes, diarrhea, constipation, burping, gas... shouldn't we be asking different questions? How about, what is causing my symptom or family of symptoms? How can we find the CAUSE of my symptoms and then change food and lifestyle choices that trigger this response in my body so they recede and then potentially STOP happening? Would this be a way to stop the endless doctor visits, prescriptions and worry that is essentially robbing you of your plans, goals and dreams?

Your diagnosis doesn't have to be a life sentence!

Many of my clients have been told there is nothing we can do. Just "take these meds and prepare yourself to live with this condition". Pardon me if I get a bit grumpy! I was told that as well, but the fact is, it isn't true. By using a holistic, whole-body wellness approach, we can turn that around, giving you back your health and hope, your very future! My clients achieve this every day. I get to help people with chronic fatigue and debilitating pain find new wellness.

Client Spotlight, M.Z.
 I had severe pain in my spine, back and down my legs including sciatic pain. Numbness in my hands, up my arms and in my feet. Most of this was a result of apparent nerve damage in my neck and spine. After surgery in 2014, some of my numbness lessened, but then pain seemed to take it’s place. I am diabetic and my numbers were going higher. I suffered from fatigue and brain fog most days.
Results of working with Melissa Homner are: very little pain left, and my brain fog seems to be mostly gone leaving me with clearer thoughts. My diabetic numbers are in control and hopefully I will be able to eliminate medication for it. I have virtually eliminated my medication for acid reflux.
It has been amazing to see how diet changes can make such a difference in my health.  Controlling the inflammation in my body has made life so much better. I would recommend Melissa to anyone looking to improve health and reduce symptoms of pain, fatigue and other challenges you may have. I am so thankful for her knowledge and mission to help others. --MZ, Hadley, PA
Update....
He is currently much more active, walking over a mile every morning, with only pain from muscles being strengthened. Controlling the inflammation and pain through diet has changed his life. He's looking forward to summer activities! He went on three fishing trips this summer out of country and feels better than he has in years.

What my clients are saying...

When we started this journey together, I had no idea how much my body would heal. Thank you for helping me learn how to nourish my body. I just got to do what I didn't think was possible, dance with my husband again.

No Stomach problems! I just got my reports back and there is no swelling in my stomach or intestinal tract. Thank you for giving me my life back.
-D.M. Pony, MT Gastroperisis, IBS

This is the first time since I was a child that I can eat without being doubled over in pain. And I know what causes this for me! I don't dread eating! My energy and thinking capacity is so much better. My joint pain is nearly gone. Thank you!
-A.D. Missoula, MT, Severe food sensitivities, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis

I've had MS so long that I didn't think my body could improve. The pain is less, I am more mobile, my stomach issues are GONE, my thinking capacity is much better, and my hands that have been numb for so long now have some feeling coming back. I'm going to keep supporting my body like you taught me.
-P. J. Alzada, MT Multiple Sclerosis, High Blood Pressure

My pain has decreased so much! Because my energy is returning, I have started my own business and am teaching music to clients in my basement. My stomach is at ease. When it's not, I know why and what to do to help myself. I've learned to speak my truth to those around me. My life has blossomed because of you. Every day I see new improvement. The future is exciting now!
-J. O. Wheatland, WY  Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Hypothyroid, Diabetes Myelitis.

The teacher just called and asked what we are doing with my daughter. She has settled down so much in class and is absorbing the class work. Finding her food sensitives has allowed her to have better control of her ADHD.
-S.S. Harrison, MT  ADHD

My at risk Pregnancy Doctor just gave me the green light! My symptoms are still gone and I'm feeling better each day. I get the chance to try for a baby again. Thank you for teaching me how to nourish my body with intention.
-J.P. Bozeman, MT  Degenerative muscle disease

Wow, we figured out what was making my stomach hurt ALL the time and what was causing constant diarrhea. I can go to yoga class again and not worry about running to the bathroom! It was so simple. Thank you! 
-L.W. Bozeman, MT,  IBS, Gastrointestinal distress

I didn't think there was anything I could do about my constant body pain, anxiety and chronic fatigue. After working with Melissa, I don't have any body pain, my anxiety has lessened dramatically and I have learned how to relax and play again. I'm taking time for myself and to enjoy my kids again. The fatigue that dogged me daily has lifted and I have energy like I haven't had for years!
-C.L New York, Rheumatoid Arthritis, IBS

I feel like I'm in my 30's again! I've lost 25 lbs, my knees down hurt and I've started jogging again (something I didn't think was possible!) And I know how to maintain this lifestyle with ease.
-N.D Texas,  Rheumatoid Arthritis, Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome

The last three months have been a whirlwind. I've handled it with calm (not the old me!), energy and clarity. It's been tough but I've been healing as life's been happening! My hands don't hurt, my brain fog is gone and I'm not stumbling over words. My anxiety is no-existent, my stomach is calm. My husband is happy to have his wife back. I'm able to care for my kids and my dad as I wanted to, but wasn't doing well at. Life is good.
-K.G  Texas, now Oklahoma, Lupus, Anxiety

Client Spotlight
JC has MS. As you know, people with Multiple Sclerosis have a special place in my heart. When she came to me, she was scared to death. Her health was failing rapidly. Her diagnosis had come 1 1/2 years ago and even though she was on a biologic drug, the decline was not slowing.  On a good day, she walked with a cane, on her bad days, she was wheelchair bound. We dove right into finding her food triggers and nourishing her body.  As I write this, she is on a trip with her family. She is walking beautifully, hasn't used her cane for 6 weeks. Her doctor is astonished. Her mind has cleared, she has energy, her MS symptoms have all resolved except for an occasional tingling in her fingers and toes. This has diminished and I fully expect that to disappear with time. Her work is no longer suffering, her marriage has rekindled, and they have booked a family vacation to a spot special to she and her husband, because she can walk again! Is this some miracle? In a way, yes. This is what can happen when we create an environment of healing so the body it can take over it's own recovery. Thank you, JC, for allowing me the honor of be a part of your journey to healing. -Coach Melissa
