About Me

Guided by Care, Driven by Results

At Melgaard Wellness, I believe true healing means more than just treating symptoms—it’s about restoring balance, unlocking potential, and helping you feel at home in your body again. With specialized training in Be Activated and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, I create sessions that relieve pain, reset the nervous system, and support lasting transformation. Every person who walks through my door is seen as a whole—not just a condition—because your story, your goals, and your wellness matter most.

Testimonials

John has taught me the importance of breathing as it relates to everyday functions and the importance of the connection of the neurological and muscles. He has wonderful teaching skills making him an excellent coach. i would highly recommend him if you have any chronic pain and looking for a practitioner that works with you to get to the root of the issue.

I recently had the opportunity to work with John both on the table and to discuss client case studies, and highly recommend him if you want to work with someone who values empowering you, and putting the power of healing back in your own hands. He patiently takes the time to learn about your history and your experiences to tailor his work specifically for you. I really appreciated how he guides and allows the client to play an active role during the session, rather than passively laying on the table. He asks questions while conducting his assessments so you can get a sense of what is happening in your body, allowing you to gain more body awareness and reconnecting with yourself. It’s also reassuring to have a practitioner who approaches health holistically, with the same values as you do, both as a client and as a practitioner referring clients to him. Looking forward to sharing his work with others!

John has treated my 4 year old son and my newborn doing cranial sacral fascial therapy and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a practitioner who will actually listen and care about your situation. He is great with children, kind, and very intuitive. Don’t hesitate to reach out to him!

John was an amazing practitioner for me. After trying everything, it felt like he was my last resort when a friend referred me to him. His assessments were thorough, & we went through the importance of them. They guided is coaching process for me, as a unique individual. Not a cookie cutter program. He encouraged me, challenged me, and ultimately help me accountable to my goals of looking and feeling better. Also, we got there quicker than I’ve ever experienced before. I now have the tools and information to control my health for life I feel like. I will be referring all my friends and family to him for the rest of my life! Thank you John!

John is an extremely talented and thorough practitioner. He not only helped me get to the root of what was causing my chronic migraines, but he also showed me how to treat the underlying tightness myself. Needless to say, this is rare to find in today’s medical landscape, and it is very much appreciated!
