What I Needed Then, Is What I’m Creating Now

Get to know what Good Day Wellness is all about

Hi, I’m Malissa Fedele,

Clinical Nutritionist and founder of Good Day Wellness.

I created this space to support kids, pre-teens, and teens through one of the most important (and often confusing) stages of life. A time when food, body image, identity, and self-worth all begin to take shape, often under pressure.

At Good Day Wellness, we use nutrition, mindfulness, and practical education to help young people feel confident in their body, fuel their mind, and build lifelong wellbeing habits, all in a fun, safe, and supportive way.

Why I Do This Work

When I was a young teen, I had a difficult relationship with food and my body. I struggled with diet culture, never felt content, and often found myself stuck in unhealthy patterns around eating and self-image. I was constantly comparing myself to others and battling a silent pressure to look or be a certain way.

And that was all before social media was in our pockets 24/7.

To think that today’s kids and teens are facing these same struggles but on such a massive, constant, digital scale honestly terrifies me. The rise of unrealistic body ideals, toxic trends, and misinformation online is shaping how young people view food, movement, and themselves before they even have the tools to understand it all.

That’s what called me to this work.

With a background in clinical nutrition, a deep understanding of the food x mood connection, and lived experience of struggling with body image myself, I’ve made it my mission to create the kind of support I wish I had growing up.

To be the "big sister in nutrition" that helps young people build a strong foundation, physically, mentally, and emotionally.

This is more than a job. This is personal.

At Good Day Wellness, we’re not just teaching kids about what to eat, we’re helping them understand why it matters, how it makes them feel, and how to listen to their body with compassion and curiosity.

Because wellness starts early  and it lasts a lifetime.

How It Started

It all began with a single workshop.

I started running my signature Food x Mood programs in schools, not fully knowing what to expect, but what I found was undeniable. The demand was real. The students were curious, engaged, and often struggling silently with the same things I once did.

I saw myself in them. The confusion, the pressure, the desire to feel good but not knowing where to start. And it hit me: I wasn’t just teaching nutrition. I was helping them understand themselves, their emotions, and their relationship with food in a safe and empowering way.

I had already created the Good Day Journal a tool I designed to help calm an anxious mind, support mental wellbeing, and encourage healthy daily habits. What I didn’t realise at the time, was just how impactful it would be when placed in the hands of young people who truly needed it.

It wasn’t just another wellbeing tool, it was something I wished I had as a teenager. A gentle guide for calming an anxious mind, building healthy habits, and learning to tune into your body without judgment. Not clinical, not complicated, just real, supportive, and approachable.

Now, I’m taking this work further, expanding Good Day Wellness into a full platform for youth nutrition, body image support, and emotional wellbeing. Through resources, school programs, cooking classes, and more I’m here to make wellbeing simple, fun, and something young people can truly connect with.

Because when we teach kids how to nourish their body and mind early on, we set them up for a lifetime of confidence, resilience, and self-trust.
