Melissa Armstrong is a Mom of two boys, a wife, and a nurse. After her traumatic childhood including parental addiction and abuse, a school shooting at age 15, and witnessing her brother’s death at age 18, the unresolved trauma led to severe physical symptoms. After spending over 20 years healing herself, she transitioned from nursing to become a trauma-informed functional health coach. She now guides women in healing through mind-body connection, somatic work, nervous system regulation, lifestyle changes, lab testing, and nutrition so they can show up in all things as the women and mothers they wish to be.
