Say goodbye to diets, for good.

The PEACE Method

A four-month 1-on-1 concierge nutrition program designed to help you feel confident and find lasting weight loss.

Tired of endless dieting that doesn’t work–and definitely doesn’t bring you joy?

I hear you and I see you. You’ve tried Keto or Whole30 or Weight Watchers, and it may have worked at first but didn’t stick–and now it feels like it’s not the solution you need. As a mom, your time is stretched thin between caring for your family and everything else on your plate, leaving less room for sleep, exercise, and meal prep. Your body has changed after having kids, and while you want to celebrate it for creating your amazing family, it’s hard to stay positive. But I’m here to tell you there’s hope: lasting change is possible, and it starts with a new approach tailored to you.

With my signature and proven PEACE Method, I’ll help you build a nutrition plan that fits your busy schedule and helps you finally feel at peace with your body again. By considering all aspects of your life–not only your nutrition but your lifestyle, mindset, and more–I guide you on a journey that ends with you saying goodbye to diets forever.

You deserve to feel great and find lasting weight loss–and I know how to help you get there. 

In the four-month PEACE Method program, you’ll get all the tools, strategies, and support you need to feel empowered and confident again.

Now I feel like I can keep up with my kids, am stronger in my body, and am more confident in what I eat.


Working with Melissa has been a seamless and transformational experience. I put off starting the program because I was worried about the time commitment, but Melissa has the program scaled perfectly so that it isn’t overwhelming or life-changing all at once. Small weekly steps set a strong foundation for long-term change. Now I feel like I can keep up with my kids, am stronger in my body, and am more confident in what I eat.

Imagine if you could…

  • Lose weight while still being able to eat your favorite foods

  • Feel good in your body and confident in your clothes

  • Manage cravings so you're not reaching for the ice cream night after night

  • End decision fatigue and know exactly what to cook for you and your family

  • Exercise in a way that feels like fun, and not like punishment

  • Boost your energy... to crush your kickass job, or chase after your kids, or have the brain power to fight through algebra homework (or all of the above!)

The truth is, all of this is possible for you!

Melissa Schuster gets it.

She gets the issues around food. She gets the psychology around food. She gets that sometimes it’s hard to keep your food choices in the healthy column. And she knows what food can do to your body. But she’s game to help you. With a patient ear, a warm demeanor, and a fully open approach, she will help you with recipe suggestions, restaurant menu selections, snack choices, and more.

Here’s how we’ll get you out of the diet cycle and into a place of PEACE:

What’s Included

The PEACE Method is not a cookie-cutter weight loss program. Here’s a closer look at what you’ll experience when we work together:

  • Twelve video calls, including one hour-long initial consult and eleven thirty-minute follow-ups.

  • Photo food journaling in Practice Better with frequent feedback from me. This helps you know exactly how to make changes in real time and stay accountable to your weight loss plan.

  • Private text and voice messenger in Practice Better with me - like having a dietitian in your pocket for all of your burning questions, motivation, and support between Zoom sessions.

  • Customized meal plans and recipe collections so you can feel confident knowing what to eat on your nutrition plan.

Wondering if this is just another diet?

It’s no wonder you’re asking yourself this, since you’ve been burned time and again by diets that promised to work. 

And perhaps you’re thinking, Life is so busy. It’s not the right time. How will I be able to really focus on myself?

Here’s what I can tell you: the PEACE Method is unlike any other diet you’ve tried. There’s no calorie-counting, points, or macros. There’s no cutting out carbs or your favorite foods. There’s no fasting or magic foods or gimmicks or tricks.

In the PEACE Method, you will learn exactly what to do to sustain lasting weight loss–all while integrating these changes into your beautiful busy life. Life will never NOT be hectic; you deserve to invest in your self-care.

You're a mom, I'm a mom, you're busy–I get it.
I also know how intimidating it can be to meet someone through the internet. I want you to know there's no obligation to work together when you schedule a free strategy call. In your free consultation, you get to share with me your dreams for nutrition and weight loss, and I get to honestly tell you if my program is a good fit.
