"I'm eating 'healthy' but I'm exhausted all the time"


"Every expert says something different—I don't know who to trust"


"I've tried every diet and nothing sticks long-term"


"I'm terrified of gaining weight if I eat more"

You're in the right place.

Why The Collective Works...

  • Most programs fail because they only give you ONE leg of a 3-legged stool. We give you all three:

  • The System

    Clear, structured framework that removes overwhelm. You always know what to focus on each week—no guessing, no conflicting advice.

  • The Support

    Expert guidance when you need it. Monthly live calls, weekly trainings, and a coach who actually answers your questions.

  • The Accountability

    Community of women who GET IT. You're not doing this alone—you have sisters on the same journey cheering you on.

I'm Your Coach - Melissa!

Certified Health, Nutrition, and Life Coach + Founder of The Balance Routine.

I help women heal their bodies through REAL food, hormone support, blood sugar balance, and simple lifestyle changes that stick for a lifetime. For the last 4+ years, I’ve coached hundreds of women through fatigue, bloating, stubborn weight, mood swings, and that constant “I don’t feel like myself” feeling.

My credentials:

  • Certified Health & Nutrition Coach -HCI
  • Certified Life Coach - HCI
  • B.A. in Education -UCR
  • Substack bestselling author
  • Built a community of 791,500+ across all platforms

Specializing in hormone balance, habit change, gut healing, metabolic support, and sustainable body transformation - without restriction, counting, or following another meal plan that doesn't work.

My approach is different. I don't teach restriction. I teach nourishment. I don't give you rules. I teach you how to listen to your body's signals. And I don't let you stay stuck in the "start over cycle" when life gets hard.

As a coach, I lead with compassion and understanding. But I'm also here to hold you to a higher standard, challenge the beliefs keeping you stuck, and push you toward the transformation you're capable of.

You don't need someone to tell you what you already know. You need someone to guide you through implementing it - and keep you accountable when it gets hard.

That's what I do.

24/7 Private Community

Private Circle.so community with daily engagement, peer support, accountability buddies, and a sisterhood that truly understands.

Like having a health coach who actually responds.

What You Will Be Saying When You Join...

"Cravings are gone, the food noise is gone, and I have so much energy and feel so happy. Journaling and tracking what I'm eating, movement, and how I'm feeling has been incredibly helpful. I feel so amazing. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, Melissa. I can't tell you how much I needed this. It was time."

Current Collective Member

"I came into this program thinking I would learn what to eat. But that isn't what I needed. I know how to eat nourishing whole foods. What I need more is the mindset around certain habits - old coping mechanics or identities that have kept me stuck. I feel like we all know 'what to eat,' but there are underlying reasons or triggers why we're unable to follow through. I'm grateful to be able to build that connection and awareness. Thank you for your awareness around the bigger topic than food."

CC

Current Collective Member

"I've tracked food for so long and I'm tired of it. For me personally, it doesn't help with the food noise. It actually just keeps me thinking about food constantly. I want food to be in the background of my life, used for fuel and nourishment and not something I'm always obsessing about. I'm excited to work on this."

Common Questions

"What exactly do I get for $59/month and how is this different from 1:1 coaching?"

You get:

  • One live group coaching call per month with me (about 60 minutes, usually around the 20th)
  • 24/7 access to our private community on Circle.so where you can connect with other women on the same journey
  • Weekly training uploads from my signature coaching program, plus access to the complete training archive
  • Monthly themed challenges that keep you motivated and prevent plateaus (like Fresh Start Energy in November, Holiday Harmony in December)
  • Complete resource vault with meal templates, recipes, tracking tools, and practical guides
  • 30-day foundation roadmap to get you started strong

The difference from 1:1 coaching: You get expert guidance and support in a group setting instead of private sessions. There's no custom meal planning or personalized protocols - but you get the community accountability and structured approach that makes healthy habits actually stick.

Important: The $59/month rate is ONLY for the first 100 members and locked in forever. After 100 members, the price jumps to $99/month permanently.

"When can I enroll and how does billing work?"

Enrollment opens on the 1st of each month and closes on the 15th - no exceptions. You can only join during this 15-day window.

Once you enroll, you get immediate access to everything: that month's theme, the foundation roadmap, training vault, and private community.

You'll be billed monthly on your enrollment anniversary date. Join December 5th? You'll be charged January 5th, February 5th, March 5th, and so on.

The first 100 members of The Collective lock in $59/month forever. After that, price increases to $99/month permanently.

"What if I join halfway through the month? Will I miss content?"

Not at all! Even if you join on the 10th of the month, you get immediate access to:

  • That month's complete theme and challenge
  • Access to all training vault content
  • The private community
  • That month's live call (usually on or around the 20th)

The 30-day Foundation Roadmap you get upon enrollment helps you get oriented no matter when you join. Everyone in the same month experiences the same theme together - whether you joined on the 1st or the 15th, you're all doing Holiday Harmony together (or whatever that month's focus is) as a group. You'll be synced with the community from day one.

Is this for women only?

Yes, this program is designed specifically for women. Since we focus heavily on hormone optimization and women's unique metabolic needs, the content and community are tailored to the female experience and physiology.

What level of support do I get?

You get expert-led group support plus peer community support and accountability.

From me:

  • Monthly live group coaching calls for real-time Q&A
  • Active engagement in the community
  • Weekly training uploads from my signature program

From the community:

  • 24/7 peer accountability and shared experiences
  • Other women navigating the same challenges

What this is NOT:

  • Custom meal plans or personalized protocols
  • Private 1:1 sessions

This works best for women who can follow structured guidance and implement it to their own situation.

How long until I see results?

Most women notice increased energy and reduced bloating within the first 2 weeks. Significant changes in body composition, mood stability, energy, and digestion typically happen around the 30-90 day mark. We ask that members commit to at least 90 days as it takes time to rewire neural pathways and create lasting change.

"How much time per week do I need to commit and what happens if I miss the live calls?"

The program fits into your life - you don't have to rearrange your life for the program.

Minimum commitment:

  • 60-minute live call once per month (optional - recordings available within 24 hours if you miss it)
  • At least one hour per week for community check-ins and implementing the monthly theme

Optional engagement:

  • Daily community participation (some members love this, others check in weekly)
  • Additional time reviewing training vault content at your own pace

If you're not willing to sit down with the trainings, engage in the community, and put in the work - this program is not for you.

Will I have to be on Facebook?

Definitely not. The Collective is housed in a private Circle platform - no Facebook required.

"Can I cancel anytime?"

Yes, you can cancel anytime with no minimum commitment. Your membership runs month-to-month, so if you need to pause or stop for any reason, you can do so before your next billing cycle. You'll retain access to any resources you've downloaded, but you'll lose access to the community and future live calls once your membership ends.

No contracts. No cancellation fees. No pressure to stay if it's not working for you.

All sales are final for the month/s you are in the Collective.

"Is there a refund policy?"

Due to the immediate access to all content and community upon enrollment, we don't offer refunds. However, you can cancel anytime before your next billing cycle to avoid future charges. We recommend reviewing the program details and ensuring it aligns with your goals before joining
