Meet Melissa Saitta
My love and passion for fitness, health and nutrition began by being born in the French Alps and being put on a pair of skis at the age of 2. Since my first ski run, I have been profoundly involved in the love of sports and fitness. I played competitive soccer and tennis growing up and played at national levels in both. I went on to play DIV I college tennis and got injured my senior year, so I helped train the team. After graduating I got certified as a personal trainer and helped train many college athletes and have enjoyed my journey as a personal trainer for over 20 years. Having been born in the Mediterranean region and having two parents of Italian descent I couldnโt help but fall in love with cooking and great food. I learned how to cook and was inspired by the nutritional value of the beautiful foods of the Mediterranean. Thus; my knowledge in nutrition. I am a certified nutritionist and have counseled many individuals in nutrition and wellness. I am also a certified Yoga Instructor. Yoga transformed my life in providing me with empowerment and insight into a True Way of Being. It is my purpose and mission to help foster inspiration, growth and to help provide tools for transformational processes to as many people as possible through my classes and teachings.
