Support for women,
from a woman who gets it.
Empowering women & mothers to transform their relationship with food, body, & self.
if you're here...
Something in your life probably feels heavy right now.
Maybe your relationship with food has started to take up more space than you want it to,
stealing joy from meals, from your body, and from your life.
Maybe your inner voice keeps whispering,
Not good enough, not thin enough.
Maybe motherhood has you running on empty, juggling a million things at once, and wondering,
Who even am I anymore?
Or maybe life itself is shifting beneath your feet: career pivots, new babies, empty nests, divorce, or relationship changes that leave you feeling like you’re stepping into the unknown.
Whatever brought you here,
you don’t have to navigate it alone.

My Specialties
Eating Disorders & Body Image
Feeling overwhelmed by food, body image, or self-acceptance? I provide evidence-based, weight-inclusive support for eating disorders and harsh self-judgment. Together, we’ll quiet your inner critic and seek freedom from diet culture.
Women’s Challenges
Navigate the pressures of womanhood. If motherhood, role overload, or loss of self weigh on you, reconnect with the woman behind the roles. Rediscover your voice and reclaim inner peace by living life on your terms.
Life Transitions
Find steady footing in change. Whether it’s a career shift, relationship change, entering motherhood, or becoming an empty-nester, I offer a supportive space to process grief, ease anxiety, redefine identity, and embrace your next chapter.

Founder & Therapist, Oliva Wellness
Hi, I’m Melody.
I’m a licensed therapist and the founder of Oliva Wellness.
I believe therapy can help, and the connection you have
with your therapist matters.
If you’ve landed here, you’re probably looking for someone who gets it— someone who’s lived a little, learned a lot, and has faced those ‘laugh-to-keep-from-crying’
curveballs life throws our way.
I do get it, and you’re not alone.
As a licensed therapist, I bring that lived experience into every session, seeing your humanity long before any symptom. Whether we’re untangling the knots of body image, navigating the challenges women face, or quieting the voice that says you’re not enough, you don’t have to do it alone.
