Thriving Versus Surviving with Melissa Armstrong
My guest today is Melissa Armstrong. She operates primarily as a functional health coach and helps women break from trauma using tools that will last a lifetime. We had a fantastic conversation, even with some technical difficulties, and we plan to stay connected.
Here is a little more about Melissa:
Melissa's chaotic, traumatic childhood included parental addiction and abuse, a school shooting at 15, and witnessing my brother's death at 18. Unresolved trauma led to severe physical symptoms, prompting her to explore alternative healing.
Over the past twenty-plus years, Melissa has transitioned from nursing to being a Trauma-Informed Functional Health Coach. She now guides women in healing their minds, bodies, and spirits through the mind-body connection, somatic work, nervous system regulation, lab testing, lifestyle changes, and nutrition. Healing is always possible!
I enjoyed this conversation and look forward to staying in touch with Melissa, especially since we are so aligned.
None of us have to walk this journey alone.
