We cannot bill your health insurance directly, but we can run an HSA* (Health Savings Account) / FSA (Flexible Savings Account) credit card, or give you a receipt to apply towards your account, if nutritional consulting and/or lab testing qualifies.

Occasionally you may be able to have your lab costs covered directly through insurance, but don't count on this. We often run labs that your local doctor and hospital do not have access to ordering. To do our job properly, we need to be able to run our specialty labs.

*An HSA is a pre-tax account that you put money into for health expenses. It may be called something else in other countries. I love my HSA account, because I can spend money on what I actually want and need. They are usually attached to a deductible plan. You can ask your Human Resources department more about it.

It is frustrating that in the conventional medical system we can often get great care for acute or severe cases, but the ‘in between’ is so neglected.

Things like anxiety & IBS are usually written off. And these are the things that affect you life quality on the daily.

Progress happens slowly in this system, and the best testing and latest protocols are not usually offered in this setting. You'll also get about 15 minutes at most with your physician, which can leave you feeling unsupported.

Consider our style of health coaching as a cutting-edge adjunct to the care you receive through the insurance system. Occasionally you may be able to ask your doctor for certain labs as we work together, but don't cut on that system fully supporting what we'll do together in a functional approach.

You’ll need to do a package to get the results you want.

A natural, functional nutrition approach takes time and attention. From us and you. When you commit to a package, we know there is a much better chance of you committing to the process and meeting your health goal. As your coaching team, we want to see you succeed!

It can be scary to make the commitment to a program, but you have the Spark Case Review to help you decide, and once it's all decided, you'll feel a certain sense of peace to know that you, and your coaches, are dedicated to an outcome.

Our approach is 'holistic functional nutrition for women.' Here's what that means to us:

Holistic

Holistic means regarding the whole person. I have found as a client of natural medicine, some practitioners are still not regarding the whole me. Have you found that as well?

Our coaches take the time to listen, and listen to the story behind the story. You might be complaining of migraines, but if we are also hearing that you are miserable at work, can’t find the time to go to your favorite dance class, etc, that needs to be addressed! That is part of the whole you, and you need your whole self to radiate.

Treating the whole you also means including you in your own treatment plan. You are a wise woman, and the only person who has lived in your body. If your treatment plan feels overwhelming, if your smoothie tastes disgusting, if you just have a bad feeling about an herb, we want to hear it!

Functional Nutrition

Functional nutrition is a system that combines: A) the best of cutting edge technology and research and B) old school, all natural medicine.

The tests we run, and our interpretation of those tests, is far beyond what your often at your primary care doctor’s office. I mean no offense to primary care doctors; it’s just that ‘accepted protocols of treatment’ move slower in that world. If you’ve had tests run and been told, ‘everything looks fine,’ then you need different tests! If you don’t feel well, there is something to be found.

Our clients tend prefer to avoid toxins and naturally assist their bodies. We agree! Our treatment protocols include adjustments on diet, sleep habits, stress habits, exercise, supplementation, herbal remedies and sometimes natural, bio-identical hormones. We are happy to work in conjunction with your medical doctor and other providers for best results.

For Women

We have more knowledge about women's health (things like periods and hot flashes) than most practitioners. Your main complaint may or may not be a hormone issue, but chances are that your hormones are getting pulled into the situation. We are well-equipped to help balance out this area for you, while we adjust the volume in other areas of your health as well!

We aren’t called Women’s Wellness Collaborative for nothing! If you decide to move past the Spark Case Review and into the full Restore Your Radiance program, you will have two practitioners on your case.

A major part of my vision when I established this community was to work together for a greater good. No one practitioner knows everything. With two practitioners on your case, you get two perspectives and a more well-rounded approach. We also both take time to research your case as needed.

We don’t try to fit you into a cookie cutter approach to medicine. A cookie cutter can save a busy practitioner time, but it may not get you the results you seek. We don’t overload our coaches or take on an excess of clients, so we can give your case the attention this requires.

Having two coaches also helps us help you so when one of us is sick or vacationing, the other coach is there for you.

Autoimmunity

"Over more than ten years, I have been battling autoimmune conditions and obesity along with lack of motivation, sluggishness, depression, and low self-esteem. I began working with Ann Melin to alter these conditions and literally change my life. Her compassion, knowledge, attention to detail, and willingness to help me formulate and develop my goals, helped put me on the track to better health.

Based on Ann’s recommendations, I started taking some natural supplements, cleansed my body of high allergen foods, and drastically changed my eating patterns. Although, I knew what I should eat and what I shouldn’t eat, I didn’t have an action plan or the will power to put it into place. Ann helped guide me through this and make steps to a healthier life. In four months I have gotten more than half way through my weight loss goals. I have increased energy, along with improved motivation and clarity. Ann didn’t just set up a plan and leave me to implement on my own. She has been there every step of the way by checking in with me regularly, providing supportive feedback, and encouraging me to make healthy choices for myself and my children. Her compassion and caring nature comes through in everything she does." ~Em

Menopausal Symptoms

"This past year I reached that pinnacle in a women’s life and began suffering from the dreaded hot flashes. In the beginning, they were bearable and infrequent but when I finally went into full blown menopause they got stronger and quite unbearable as well as embarrassing. The hot flashes got so unbearable, I was having at lease 15 – 20 a day (one every hour) and constantly taking off clothes then putting them back on. I had to dress in layers or I was destined to have a miserable day being either too hot or too cold. I tried all the recommendations like cutting out caffeine, drinking cold, cold water nonstop, popping flax seed like candy but nothing was working.

Of course, upon visiting my doctor it was recommended that I start some kind of hormone therapy but the thought of taking pharmaceutical drugs that could potentially be detrimental to my health later in life was not appealing to me.

I approached Ann with my issue and she reassured me that she could help with my problem without the use of prescribed medications. She took me through just two tests (saliva and urine) and did the most in-depth analyzation from the test results that pinpointed my problem and offered the best solution for my hot flashes.

Ann sat me down and walked me through my test results and explained in detail the origination of my deficiencies as well as where I was on track. She answered all my questions and concerns in a manner that assured me every avenue had been explored before a recommendation was made. No MD that I’ve ever been associated with had ever took the time or patience to sit me down and explain my health issue or why the recommended solution would work best.

Today the hot flashes are pretty much nonexistent. I recommend Ann to all my friends who are experiencing the pains of menopause. Her professionalism, expertise and training have definitely made me a firm believer in alternative medicine." - Ramona

Fertility

By the time I had my first appt with Bridgit, my husband and I had been trying to conceive for over 2 years and had gone through all the standard testing recommended by a fertility center, ending up with a diagnosis of unexplained infertility. Our doctor was talking about getting us on a plan-- which meant some form of hormones eventually culminating in in-vitro or some variant. I was very frustrated, wanting to know what was causing our issues before jumping on to the assisted reproduction bandwagon. The doctors seemed less concerned with the cause and more interested in us choosing a plan.

After seeing Bridgit for 3 months, I passed a polyp (that had been eluding my fertility doctor) naturally-- I hear it's pretty unusual for these things to dislodge themselves, so I credit Brigit's work with this. So the great news is that we conceived in March (without the help of our fertility dr) and now I'm 8+ months pregnant. I do believe that my visits with Bridgit were an important part of this process, and I really appreciated her positive attitude and moral support. She made me believe that getting pregnant would happen and gave me confidence that there were things within my control to help.... and clearly they did. ~Michelle

After Miscarriage

I began to work with Bridgit eight months ago following a pregnancy loss to address fertility and other general health issues, with the hope of increasing my chance of a healthy future pregnancy. She has also helped me address some other issues such as TMJ along the way.

I have found Bridgit to not only be a supremely skilled acupuncturist but exceptionally knowledgeable about fertility issues in general. She is quite thorough and holistic in her analysis of the many physical and emotional factors that affect one’s health and fertility.

She helped me to analyze my BBT charts, made effective recommendations regarding supplements, diet, books, etc. Although Bridgit is clearly already well-informed about fertility issues, it was my impression that she is constantly working to further enhance her knowledge of this space.

Bridgit is supportive, professional and intuitive. She takes the time to listen to what is on your mind. I would characterize her approach as one of gentle but firm encouragement (rather than pressure or reprimand.)

Dealing with fertility issues can be anxiety-inducing and disheartening experience. Post-treatment, I almost always experienced decreased anxiety and a “lift” in my spirits. I also had the additional benefit if a significant decrease in the frequency of headaches I experience, which I used to experience quite often. ~Meredith
