Melanie Cross

Melanie was trained at the Trinity School of Natural Health after personal experience healing Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, lyme, mold toxicity, and more and is ready to help you with your journey, no matter where you are starting from. “I decided to turn my pain into purpose by becoming a health coach so that I may help guide others on their own health journey. I believe that everyone has the potential to heal given the right tools and guidance.”
Sally Butterman
- Ancestral diet specialist
- Cooking and food preparation
- Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner
“The key to real progress for me, was integrating the spiritual and emotional work. Accepting acute illness as a divine initiation was a pivotal turning point in my healing journey.“
Work with certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Sally Butterman, trained and supervised directly by Jen Donovan in the Rebuild Yourself methods.
Sally was experiencing debilitating cramps, agonizing mental symptoms, chronic fatigue, severe digestive dysfunction, and more. She was eventually diagnosed with endometriosis, SIBO, parasites, and adrenal fatigue. After finding her own path to health she is grateful to no longer experiencing these symptoms.
“I quickly realized that it was up to me to figure out how to heal, and that no one was going to “fix me.” It can be very lonely and confusing to be chronically ill, and I am honored to be able to help guide and empower others on their own path toward health. The capacity to heal is already within all of us.”
