A graduate of Boston University, Sargent College in 1975, Melissa spent most of her career in clinical and rehab practice management specializing in all aspects of “the business” of rehabilitation: operations assessment and development, strategic planning, management training, compliance, coding, and billing issues, as well as merger acquisition assistance.
In 1993, she founded the Dynamic Group, as its president and CEO, providing healthcare clinical and operational consulting. In 1999, Dynamic Learning Online, Inc. was formed as one of the early adapters to provide online learning (e-learning) for healthcare professionals (PT, OT, SLP, AT and Guardians) to meet licensure and certification courses for required credit from the comfort of their home or office.
In 2015, Dynamic Learning Online, Inc. transitioned to Dynamic Learning/Age GRACEfullyⓇ teaming up with David Bernstein MD, physician, author and speaker to provide valuable resources on how we all can Age GRACEfully. Dynamic Learning is the publisher of Dr. Bernstein’s three books, and Melissa, his publicist, communicates the benefits of The Power of 5 Lifestyle. The two collaborated and published The Power of 5 Journal – a companion to document progress while following the Power of 5 formula.
Melissa has developed many clinical educational offerings online, published articles and co-authored several books over the years. Her love for cooking and blogging on a healthy lifestyle is gratifying to her as she helps others by offering delicious, healthy recipes.
One of her next goals, which she achieved, was becoming a certified vegan chef. The Bernstein’s kitchen became Melissa’s test kitchen, now, affectionately known as the Power of 5 Test Kitchen. The next big step was of course, the cookbook! The first version is geared toward caregivers and her full cookbook was released in 2023. Follow Melissa on Instagram too!
