Melanie Giordano

About Melanie

Whole person wellness has been my passion for 25 years, guided by a BS in Clinical Nutrition from Virginia Tech as well as being an ACE Certified Personal Trainer and Health Coach. I’ve led corporate wellness programs and built my own private practice, so I focus on what works in the real world. I combine science-based coaching with practical, sustainable strategies. At home, I’m a wife, mom of four grown kids, Gigi to three perfect grandbabies, and proud owner of two Great Danes. Outside of work, you might find me on a paddle board, playing pickleball, doing yoga, or listening to a true crime audiobook.

Approach to care

Evidence matters, but so does your lived experience. I use current research and proven protocols while honoring the whole person, including mental and emotional health. We’ll work together in a judgment-free, weight-neutral way that focuses on behavior change and long-term habits, not quick fixes. Expect clear, actionable steps and compassionate accountability so you can learn, adapt, and sustain progress. My training as an RDN and NBC-HWC helps me blend clinical insight with coaching skills to support realistic, lasting change.

Your first session with Melanie

Expect a relaxed, thorough conversation where we’ll explore your relationship with food, your routines, and what’s felt hard. We’ll review medical history, lab work and biometrics together so we have a clear, science-based starting point. I’ll help you set a couple of short-term, realistic goals and we’ll create initial meal guidelines that fit your life. You don’t need to have everything figured out. We’ll move at a pace that feels doable, and I’ll be your partner in progress with consistent, compassionate accountability.
