👋 Hi, I’m Melinda (she/her). Welcome!

Hi there, I’m Melinda Staehling, a late-diagnosed AuDHD Certified Nutrition Specialist® and Licensed Nutritionist. 

I’m one of the few Menopause Society Certified Practitioners who are nutrition professionals. 

I believe neurodivergent menopause is more challenging due to the sensory, physical, mental health, and social factors that make up a neurodivergent identity in a neurotypical world.

Yes, you can build a new version of health without adding to food obsession.

It might take some unlearning and practicing something new.

Our relationship with food and our body is unique. Having a practitioner in your corner who listens and empathizes can help guide your path.

I work from a toolbox of positive coaching, nutrition education, and movement - to create a plan that honors where you’re at today.
