the body measure team
meet Melina & Erica
Welcoming, knowledgeable, and caring. That’s how our clients describe us! We started Body Measure knowing there was a significant gap in the health and wellness industry: our clients needed to understand their total body composition in order to fine-tune their lifestyles and reach their goals. And we knew we had the experience and expertise to guide them.
Erica is a Registered Radiation Technologist, with over 30 years experience. She is registered with CAMRT and MAMRT. She is Dexa certified with the International Society for Clinical Densitometry. She also has advanced training from McMaster University in body composition analysis using the Dexa Scanner. Erica’s passion is fitness. She taught fitness classes on weekends and evenings, while being certified with the Manitoba Fitness Council for 25 years.
Melina holds a Master of Science in Community Health, and has devoted most of her career to helping older adults live a healthy and vibrant lifestyle. In her role as research coordinator, she saw firsthand how important it was for her clients to know and understand their unique body composition. Melina is a certified obesity counsellor with The World Obesity Association. She has personally lost 100 pounds, and is passionate with helping others reach their healthy weight.
Today, we combine our passions and knowledge to offer accurate data, innovative services, and personalized guidance to empower our clients on their journey to health and wellness.
