My Story
Mid 2023 was absolute rock bottom for me. I had been dealing with IBS symptoms my whole life, as far back as middle school. My symptoms were debilitating. I often experienced stomach pains, rushing to the bathroom and barely making it, and fearing not making it. Then, if I did make it, I would think I relieved myself only to be back in the bathroom within minutes. Not to mention, after almost any meal, I would consistently experience bloating and, on occasion, nausea. As if that was not enough, I also experienced stubborn environmental and hormonal acne. I constantly felt stressed and struggled with my confidence. In my late twenties the acne cleared but the IBS symptoms persisted…
In my early forties, I was not only grappling with the lifelong IBS symptoms but also perimenopause, PMS, high stress, anxiety, and low energy just to name a few. I was so frustrated because I thought I was doing everything I could to remedy my situation, and yet I felt like a volcano that was bubbling and about to erupt. This was NOT any way that I wanted to live! My health truly was affecting my quality of life and my relationships with my family, and friends! I was also going broke in the process by trying endless supplements, probiotics, green powders, etc. that never actually helped! Feeling as if I was going crazy and desperate for help, I decided to take my health into my own hands and learn more about integrative nutrition and how it might help me.
What I discovered was, gut health is about more than supplements or magic pills. I had to look at myself as a whole and address one piece of the puzzle at a time. Slowly but surely as I implemented consistent strategies, I started to see miraculous transformation! I began to FINALLY have relief from the constant IBS symptoms, hormonal imbalances and my fluctuations started to level out, my energy, mood, and sleep improved dramatically. I was well on my way to becoming the best version of myself!

At a routine brow appointment with my usual brow aesthetician - an appointment that I almost canceled because I was afraid to leave the house due severe acne which out of nowhere in my mid-forties I was stricken with. The acne on my face caused me to not want to leave the house or attend usual appointments or even go into the office. After texting pictures of my face to "my brow lady", I was encouraged to keep the appointment so she could really see what was going on. She sent out a call for help on her fellow aesthetician Facebook group and Timeless Beauty Clinical Skincare answered the call! I reached out to Melissa and without knowing or meeting me she listened to and talked to me for over thirty minutes over the phone to understand what was happening with me in ALL areas of my life, not just my skin. We were able to have a consultation in person and literally my life has changed for the better ever since. I have been seeing Melissa for almost 3 years and my skin went from being covered in painful red acne which I had never had before in my 45 years, to being radiant and even healthier than ever. Melissa managed my expectations from our first treatment and conversation that my skin would not clear up overnight but that we were a team now and she would work as hard as I was at getting my skin healthy again. I started a routine morning and night and Melissa answered my text questions in between appointments and helped me adjust my routine and skin outlook as my skin healed and changed. Melissa was my best cheerleader and quite literally wiped away my tears during this healing and transitional time. I learned that skin issues can be an indication of a lot of factors and my personal and work stress were not helping my skin - at all. Melissa helped me to get healthier in other areas like finding the right vitamins, encouraging diet changes without judgement, sharing ideas and ways to make time for myself and my skin, all which could also help my healing and acne clearing. Although my acne is now completely gone with only typical flares now and then I continue to see Melissa. Melissa is an amazing coach and ressource in caring for my skin as my hormones change and I enter perimenopause. My son and my partner see Melissa now and we are so grateful for her. Melissa has created an amazing and welcoming safe space for us and has helped us heal, not only our skin but often the many outside factors we don't realize are happening. I highly recommended Melissa as an aesthetician wellness coach and friend.

I’ve struggled with acne my whole life and last year my acne had gotten to the worst it has ever been. The dermatologist prescribed many topicals and were suggesting oral medications. Then I stumbled upon Melissa. Now, I’m at the point where I haven’t had to wear make up in months and am never afraid to look in the mirror. I have never been so happy with my skin and continue to get compliments of how great my skin looks. Melissa is so passionate about what she does and has saved my skin and my self esteem. I’m so grateful I found her!
