Melissa Bates is a Certified Health Coach, Certified Eating Psychology Coach, and Personal Trainer that was put on this earth to help other females Rock The Hell out of their health while maintaining an enjoyable lifestyle. She’s a 34 and a Food Loving Bad A$$, and in this week’s new episode she shares the story behind how she became a health coach.
In today's episode, Melissa shares her journey, through trial and error, figuring out how to live her healthiest life and love her skin inside and out. Intuitive eating gave Melissa her life back because it gave her the power to see that she is more than a body, she is more than the food she eats, and she’s more than how many hours she puts in at the gym. It taught her to appreciate her body, too. Today she’s about a size 14, and before there’s no way Melissa would have been comfortable or confident in her body. She’s more confident now than she’s ever been, and she owes that confidence to taking the time to heal herself.
