Melanie Hesketh

Owner & Founder, Solera Holistic Health
Holistic Health Coach | Registered Holistic Nutritionist | Certified Metabolic Balance® Coach

Hi, and welcome to Solera Holistic Health! I’m so glad you’re here. My journey into holistic wellness began with my own struggles—something I know many of my clients can relate to. Years ago, I battled anxiety, depression, and persistent joint pain that was eventually diagnosed as arthritis. I felt exhausted, frustrated and disconnected from my body.

It wasn’t until I started to truly pay attention to how my eating habits impacted my mood, inflammation, and overall well-being that I began to heal. As I shifted my focus to whole foods, stress management, and targeted nutritional support, I experienced profound changes—not just in my physical health, but in my energy, mental clarity, and overall quality of life. This realization fueled my passion to help others do the same.

Since becoming a Registered Holistic Nutritionist in 2009, I’ve worked with thousands of clients struggling with weight management, stress, digestion, inflammation, and chronic pain—helping them reclaim their health in a way that feels natural and sustainable. But I quickly learned that nutrition alone isn’t always enough, which is why I now consider myself a Holistic Health Coach, offering a comprehensive, multi-modal approach to healing.

At Solera, I integrate Live Cell Analysis, Biofeedback Therapy, Infrared Sauna Therapy, and Metabolic Balance®—Europe’s #1 natural weight loss program. In fact, I’m Windsor-Essex County’s first Certified Metabolic Balance® Coach, bringing this life-changing program to my community.

I work with clients in person in Windsor, Ontario, and also offer distance coaching across Canada, making holistic health accessible wherever you are.

My mission is simple: to educate, inspire, and empower you to take control of your health, feel confident in your body, and experience the energy and balance you deserve.

I’d love to support you on your wellness journey—let’s get started!

Emily Grammatico

Registered Holistic Nutritionist, HTMA-P

Hi, my name is Emily! I am a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Practitioner, working in the wellness field since 2015.

 

While I am now based in Vancouver, Bristish Columbia, I continue to collaborate with Solera Holistic Health virtually, offering Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) to clients. I believe mineral balancing is a powerful tool for addressing the root causes of dysfunction in the body and provides invaluable insights for creating individualized protocols.

 

I have a special interest in whole-food, plant-based nutrition and have been a pescatarian for the last 10 years. My passion lies in sustainability, eating from the earth, and embracing minimalist consumption.

 

I wholeheartedly believe that eating is one of the most important things we do each day—it’s an act of daily self-care. My mission is to help people improve their well-being through whole foods, intentional eating, and sustainable living.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, running outdoors, and spending time with my dog, Paddington.

Testimonials

I feel so awesome Melanie, thank you so much for suggesting this eating plan to me. All weekend I’ve heard, “Wow Deb, you’re looking good, your complexion, alertness, the weight” It sounds so wonderful to hear it! And I haven’t felt this good in years, and I’m only 2 weeks in, I can’t even imagine how I’ll feel in two months and beyond! Simply amazing to me!- Debbie
I am 56 years old and feel young again! My first month I lost 15 lbs and feel great. Not only that I lost weight but I have no more hot flashes which has helped my sleep. My energy level has improved, I find I am a lot more relaxed and don't feel anxiety as before. I stopped taking my antacids and products to stabilize my blood sugar since I was hypoglycaemic. Melanie is a great coach and she makes time for me. This is very important.- Rina
