Melanie Pessarra, certified Nutrition Therapist and certified Barre and Pilates instructor, has been passionate about health and wellness since young adulthood. Upon attaining a B.S in Sports Medicine, she completed a Master Nutrition Therapy certification and then dove headfirst into raising a family. Throughout the busyness of young family life, she has led local nutrition workshops, taking the occasional client for 1:1 coaching, and led weightloss challenges, and started Mindful Kitchen, a small herbal products business. In 2017, her love for movement led her to obtain a Group Fitness Instructor certification and a Barre certification. She has taught barre and Pilates for the past 7+ years at McClure Fitness in Conway (formerly Glover Fitness).
Additionally, she is involved in her husband’s microfarm and agricultural enterprise Mindful Farmer. Together they share a deep passion for stewarding the land and the health of human bodies with thoughtful consideration.
