**About Us**

Welcome to Wellness Warriess

Feeling Exhausted, Overwhelmed, or Out of Balance?

You’re not alone.

Between the demands of work, motherhood, relationships, and everything in between, it’s easy to feel like your health keeps slipping lower on the priority list. You try to eat well, get enough sleep, and stay active — but something still feels off. Maybe it’s bloating that just won’t go away, constant fatigue, mood swings, or that sense of being “wired but tired.”

You want to feel vibrant again — clear-minded, confident in your body, and energized enough to enjoy life — but you’re not sure where to start or how to make changes that actually last.

That’s where Wellness Warriess comes in.

Wellness Warriess isn’t just another health brand — it’s a movement built for women who are ready to take back their energy, clarity, and confidence.

We believe wellness isn’t about extremes or perfection. It’s about small, intentional steps that build lasting change — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Through science-based education, holistic tools, and compassionate guidance, Wellness Warriess helps you:

Meet the Founder: Melissa Sutton, MSc, CHC, RYT

I’m Melissa, the heart behind Wellness Warriess — a mom of twins, lifelong learner, and someone who knows firsthand how frustrating it can feel when your health feels out of your control.

With a Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition and Integrative Health, certifications in Health Coaching and Ontological Coaching, and experience as both a Certified Yoga Teacher and Raw Food Chef, I bring a whole-person approach to wellness.

But my journey started long before the degrees and certifications — it began with my own health challenges: years of bloating, fatigue, and food sensitivities that traditional advice couldn’t fix. Once I discovered how interconnected the gut, hormones, stress, and mindset truly are, everything changed — and that’s the knowledge I now share through Wellness Warriess.

I’m here to help you uncover what’s really behind your symptoms, so you can finally feel like yourself again — not just surviving, but thriving.

What People Are Saying…

“Meeting with Melissa renewed my commitment to my personal health journey. Her help in condensing and streamlining the overwhelming nutritional information available, and making it specific to my needs, was invaluable. I now have a clear path to follow to help me make decisions that benefit and impact my health.”

Jenny K.
“Melissa was both informative and educational in helping to better understand the way nutrition, external factors, and daily decisions around food choices help shape your well-being and overall mood. Being able to analyze not only what food choices you make, and how they make a difference, but also understanding the connection between external factors (such as medication and lifestyle choices) and how they relate to your overall well-being was informative, and Melissa's approach to this was both professional and insightful”

Lane K.
“I have seen easily a hundred doctors in my medical journey, including a natural path, a nutritionist, and “experts” to deal with chronic illness, and you have given me more information, and more importantly, more functional information that any of they have prior. I also very much appreciate how judgement free you were – not once did you make me feel stupid for asking questions, or make me feel bad about my body. I very much appreciate that all of your information was based on helping me to do/feel better, and not just blaming me.”

Tana W.
"I didn’t realize how much of my stress was tied to my gut until our session. I feel like I finally had the space to talk it through and connect the dots between what I was feeling physically and emotionally. Afterward, I felt more at ease and like I had clear steps I could take without feeling overwhelmed. What stood out for me was how Melissa didn’t try to overcomplicate anything—she just helped me figure out what my body needed. I walked away with a realization that small changes can make a big difference and that it’s okay to take things one step at a time."

Donna B.
"I feel calmer and more grounded since our coaching session. I feel like the next actions that I take will be coming from that grounded place; not from a place of chaotic thinking. What stood out for me was the skill in which you gave me the space to think about how I was feeling, and to quiet the noise in my head by getting out what needed to come out. My favorite part of the session was just realizing that I am exactly where I need to be right now and that I don’t need to rush things."

Lauren D.
"I’ve always been skeptical of any kind of gut health guidance because it feels like everyone says something different. But Melissa broke it down in a way that actually made sense and was easy to follow. It’s not just about the food; she also helped me realize how much liestyle was affecting my digestion. I started to notice a difference within a few weeks—my digestion felt smoother and I am learning to pay attention to what has been triggering my discomfort."

Kati M.
"Melissa encouraged me to get outside of my comfort zone and try different things. Melissa is calm and grounding and you can tell she has a lot of experience and life skills with so much to offer. It was inspiring to learn from Melissa and to be coached by her. After our sessions, I started to make short term goals and having the goals in front of me it was easier to tick them off and made my list of to do’s easier to manage. I am also a lot more confident about being me and putting my goals out there."

Tess P.
"After working with Melissa, I feel more in control of my wellness than I did before. I appreciated some of the connections she made between lifestyle factors and what I am eating and my current state of health. I learned so much in our session and feel excited to make better choices for my health."

Cassandra E.
"Melissa helped me make sense of my health for the first time ever. I used to feel so overwhelmed by all the wellness advice out there, but she broke it down into steps I could actually follow. Now I feel like I’m in control of my choices instead of just guessing all the time. Such a good feeling!"
