Hello

I’m Melony Kersh, a professional mental health therapist dedicated to supporting individuals, families, and couples on their journey toward emotional well-being and balance. My work is rooted in compassion, evidence-based care, and a deep commitment to helping people live healthier, more fulfilling lives.

My Story

With more than 33 years of experience in mental health and human development, I bring a lifetime of insight, compassion, and practical expertise to support individuals, families, and couples.  I’ve dedicated my life to helping people move through challenges, transitions, and seasons of growth with clarity, confidence, and purpose. My work is grounded in the belief that individuals have the capacity to evolve, heal, and create a life that feels aligned and fulfilling.

​

My journey began at Jackson State University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree, followed by a Master of Science in Counseling from Illinois State University. I later completed my Doctorate in Healthcare Administration at Virginia University of Lynchburg. This blend of education and decades of hands-on experience has shaped a coaching style that is compassionate, insightful, and deeply rooted in evidence-based practices.

​

Over the years, I’ve worked in diverse environments, including inpatient psychiatric care, community-based programs, foster care, and services for individuals with developmental challenges.  These experiences have given me a rich understanding of human behavior, resilience, and the many ways people grow when they feel supported. I’ve also spent extensive time helping couples, families, and parents strengthen communication, build healthier relationships, create supportive home environments, and navigate life’s complexities with greater ease. My work extends into life skills development, career coaching, and personal growth, empowering people to move forward with confidence and clarity.

​

As a life coach, I passionately bring all of this experience into a space designed for your personal transformation. Whether you’re seeking clarity, rebuilding confidence, improving relationships, exploring new goals, or simply learning how to show up more fully in your life, I meet you exactly where you are. Together, we uncover your strengths, identify what’s holding you back, and create a path forward that feels authentic and achievable.

​

I founded Fit & Soul Wellness to raise awareness of mental and emotional well-being, reduce stigma, and offer a safe, inclusive environment where growth, healing, and self-discovery can genuinely thrive. Your story matters. Your goals matter. And you deserve support that honors both.  Through coaching, workshops, and conferences, Fit & Soul Wellness inspires meaningful conversations and actionable change.

​

If you’re ready for a life transformation, or even just curious about what coaching could look like, I invite you to take the next step. Transformation begins with a single conversation, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey
