About Healthy Being Wellness Center - Organic Skin Care, Massage, Hypnotherapy, Lymphatic Drainage Services in St. Petersburg, FL


Healthy Being LLC is the product of intense passion and planning of founder, Melissa Gallagher.  Melissa’s interest in natural health and wellness is personal.  In 2003 Melissa suffered from a very severe case of Ebstein Barr Virus that crippled her immune system and literally changed her life and view of preventative healthcare.

Melissa is a holistic nutritionist and wellness coach who specializes in addressing the root causes of dis-ease through food therapy and natural alternative therapies like enzyme therapy, lymph release and cellular detoxification.   Melissa possesses a Masters in Holistic Nutrition through Clayton College of Natural Health and is currently completing a Doctorate of Naturopathy through Clayton.  Melissa is a certified wellness coach (CWC) and a certified natural health professional (CNHP).  


Melissa’s journey towards wellness incorporated a series of natural health therapies including: acupuncture, juicing, detoxification, hydro colonics, immune boosting herbs, immunotherapy, color therapy, spinal adjustments and massage.

 
Wellness is a process and Melissa’s passion grew as she learned about the various ways the body heals and the various causes of dis-ease. It became apparent her life’s mission was to help others in their wellness journey.

 
Melissa believes that the majority of dis-ease is rooted in digestion - how we eat, what we eat, food preparation and how the body reacts to food as it travels through the entire digestive tract.  A malfunctioning digestive system can cause imbalance within the body and can stress our organs and our glands.  Hormone imbalances, allergies, arthritis, join pain, autoimmune disorders, gout, eczema, acne, chronic fatigue, ADD, PMS, diabetes, heart disease and high cholesterol can all be linked to a malfunctioning In addition to imbalances, many individuals are experiencing mineral and vitamin deficiencies.

I am Melissa Gallagher, Holistic Nutritionist, Wellness Coach, founder of Healthy Being LLC and advocate (aka Cheerleader) for those of you seeking health and well-being.   

I am often called The Wellness Diva, and while I might not be a “Diva” in the proper sense of the term, I do eat, live, breathe and practice wellness daily.  Nothing gets me more jazzed up than helping others along the path towards improved health and happiness.

Like many Doctors, Nurses, Acupuncturists, Herbalists, Nutritionists, Chiropractors and Naturopaths, I became a health professional out of my own circumstances and health challenges.  I was so sick and my immune system was so shot- I was in a dire state.  I sought knowledge and education to help my body heal itself.  I tried all sorts of alternative therapies like: juicing, acupuncture, body work, craniosacral therapy, reiki, myofascial release, lymphatic therapy, massage, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, hydrocolonics, yoga, tai chi and qi gong.  I found a great natural health healer who guided me as I sought optimal health.  It was all so fascinating and it all worked!

One day during the healing process, I declared, “I want to do this one day.  I want to help people heal.”    

As a result, I went back to school to receive a Masters in Holistic Nutrition and a Doctorate of Naturopathy, the study of Natural Health & Natural Medicine.  I also became a credentialed Wellness Coach and Natural Health Professional. The most important thing I learned is that the body is an amazing entity – it is always seeking balance and it just needs guidance and the right nutrition to set itself back in alignment.

Over the years as I have worked with many clients, I have found that only we know our bodies best and once we get in tune with our body and listen to the language of the body (symptoms) we can begin the path towards becoming Healthy Beings. 

Each client has asked themselves:

Are you tired of being tired?
Are you sick of being sick?
Are you frustrated no one is listening to you?
Do you feel overwhelmed by the symptoms you are experiencing?
Are you not quite sure if your physician has the best plan for your health?
Are you thinking about an alternative to pharmaceutical prescriptions?
Are you concerned about your hormone health and the status of your reproductive organs?
Are you hoping to avoid a painful surgery or organ/glandular amputation?
Do you feel hopeless, helpless and have concluded that you will never quite get back to being or feeling the way you did before?
Are you seeking knowledge, resources and education to lead you down the path of wellness?
Does preventative healthcare make more sense to you?
Are you hoping to become a Healthy Being?

These were the same questions I found myself asking and it is not a coincidence you have found our website and the services of Healthy Being.  

At the end of the day, I am a natural health educator who understands your situation and has experience in working with clients who are just like you.

I encourage you to visit the Healthy Being Wellness Boutique or give us a call (727-502-3464).  At Healthy Being, we’re Your Wellness Partner.

Wishing you superb health,

About Dr. Dani
Dani Skrzypek (Pronounced Skri-PECK)

 

Dani earned her acupuncture degree a number of years ago after having first spent twenty years as a Master's level Social Worker. Her many years as an individual and family therapist honed her empathy and listening skills, skills that she finds deeply valuable as a complementary medicine practitioner. When was the last time you had a doctor really listen to you?

While Dani has treated numerous patients with a broad range of problems and diseases, her favorites are those experiencing acupuncture for the first time. She understands their anxiety (she remembers her own the first time she had an acupuncture treatment!) and is very gentle and supportive. Patients relax, often fall asleep, on the treatment table and get up feeling better.

To find out if acupuncture could be helpful to YOU, come in for a FREE consultation.
