Meet the Founder
Hi I’m Melissa, a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach with a Masters Degree and 15+ years of experience in the public health sector. I have always been driven by the desire to make a difference. After years on the reactive side of public health, I realized I wanted to move from managing health concerns to helping prevent them.
Founding The Well Being was my way of focusing upstream, helping individuals maintain their health or even reverse early signs of health issues. My passion is to help people increase their quality life years -- to live their lives for as long as they possibly can with joy, energy, and wellbeing.
The Well Being translates evidence-based wellness knowledge and concepts in a way that supports, guides, and encourages organizations and their team members to positively create change in their own lives.
Our Mission
“My motto is simple: Eat well to feel well. Feel well to live well. Health is not just the absence of disease; rather, it's living life to its fullest as a Well Being.” — Melissa Swank
What People Are Saying
“I was hesitant at first because, as an introvert, groups are sometimes very difficult for me. Melissa set the tone early on for a true "No judgment zone" and it was very well respected. By our 3rd meeting, the group had the feel of a safe place for each of us to be ourselves and help each other grow.”
— Jo, Project Coordinator
“I am positive that you will inspire others like me and turn them down the same road to health that I have discovered. Thank you so much for all that you have done for me and all that you have yet to do for so many others.”
— Angela, Accounting Assistant
“I thoroughly enjoyed the group coaching. We got to talk about health and wellness, but we also were able to touch on some personal things, which I believe made our group a little closer. I feel like I am more aware of my food/nutrition choices now.”
