ETHOS
Hello Palate was created to motivate your health goals with great-tasting food.

personalized programs to help you feel your best and achieve your goals.
In short, I am here to support your gut health, detoxification, and metabolism to healthy weight balance, mood, and energy.
I offer a variety of nutrition plans that suit your lifestyle, timeframe, and goals.
HEALTH IS ON THE TIP OF YOUR TONGUE
I believe you have the answers as you constantly converse with your body. As your body's translator, my job is to guide you through the signs and symptoms of how you feel through a functional perspective analysis. You may not understand everything from the cause to the effect; however, I will give insight into how your body functions and the interconnectedness of each foundational system. My mission is to help restore and replenish your body with targeted nutritional therapies which bring your entire system back into balance.
WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER
Everyone’s palate and taste buds are different, and so are their unique nutritional profiles. Together we discover individualized food therapies that translate into better health - both mentally and physically. Our personalized 1 on 1 session guides our clients to digest new habits and new information in a friendly, compassionate, and confidential atmosphere. Hello Palate is a food-agnostic practice. We don’t subscribe to any diet or trends or state to “eat your vegetables” but cultivate an individualized program that is simple and sustainable, focusing on best practices in healthy living.
PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION
Look deeper into a pretty food picture. It's the consistency in actions, not perfection, that speaks volumes. Don’t underestimate the mindset growth potential rather than capping off at a set goal. Progress can be slow, yet your trajectory is more important than speed. Recovery and healing take time; new habits and eating patterns don’t become habitual overnight. The important thing is continuing your journey of progression, not perfection.
NO FLUFF INCLUDED
We focus on top-notch nutritional research. Hello Palate is about bridging the best of eastern and western nutritional therapies and holistic philosophies together. We help keep you feeling well by serving you a properly prepared transformation in health, not just based on symptom suppression. It’s a transformative experience for the mind and body. Customized service is paramount at Hello Palate and a promise to all our clients.
MEET michelle
As a practitioner, I’m on a mission to return to the wisdom of connecting our food to nature and nature to food with a holistic lens of supporting bio-individuality. I feel I have been destined to help guide people to better health outcomes. As a mother of two, it was more than 15 years ago I was on an island unto myself, seeking alternative remedies to solve contemporary health challenges for my child. Organic was labeled elitist, alternative milk considered curious, and doctors - albeit with the best intentions - were baffled by my questions. I felt discouraged and sought support.
After researching a variety of modalities, I discovered two Functional Medicine doctors, who listened, ran tests, and approached my child's therapies through a holistic lens, not just her symptoms in isolation. To my disbelief, the chronic health issues were resolved, and I felt heard, relieved, and inspired by the experience. It took time, patience, and dedication to alter her eating habits to restore and replenish her unique nutritional profile, and thankfully her body responded.
Was the journey easy? No. But what came from it was my mission to create Hello Palate. Inspired and ready to help and coach others with similar health concerns, I approached my new role as a welcoming resource to be your confidant and advocate - your friend, if you will - on this wellness journey. After receiving my certification from the Nutritional Therapy Association and Precision Nutrition, I became a Certified Food Therapy Specialist at The Natural Gourmet Institute, and shortly after, Hello Palate was born.” - Michelle Pesce
