Melinda Thomas  Health Counselor  QRA Practitioner  Life Coach

Melinda is the Founder and Director of Stepping Stones to Better Health. 

Melinda is a graduate of the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in New York City and is board certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, as a Holistic Health Counselor.  Through her training and education at IIN, Melinda studied all the different dietary theories, eastern and western nutrition, modern health counseling, personal growth and development – all from the perspective that each person is a unique individual and that each program is tailored to that person’s needs.   She believes that shame, guilt and deprivation have no place in healing, and takes a pleasure-based approach in empowering her clients to reach their highest health goals so that they can live the vibrant, dynamic lives they dream of.

Melinda also attended training with Marc David in the Psychology of Eating and Soul Based Nutrition.

Melinda’s passion in wanting to help people succeed found her attending Life Purpose Institute in San Diego where she trained and got her certification as a Life Coach.  Helping people succeed is not only a passion but it is fun and exciting.

Melinda’s most recent addition to her services is that of a Certified Quantum Reflex Analysis Practitioner, where she completed training with Dr. Robert Marshall and Dr. Forbes in Quantum Reflex Analysis.  Melinda is able to use a specialized kinesiology technique where she is able to test acupuncture points on the body to determine what organ system is strong or weak and what remedies bring up the strength of the particular weak organ.  Amazingly, the body itself will demonstrate exactly what it requires to return to a balanced and healthy state.  QRA can be used for mini programs to address a single chief complaint, or to test the full body for numerous or systemic issues.  The results provide a comprehensive program for individuals wishing to attain optimum health.
