Dr. Kolin Durrant is the founder of Manifest Health & Wellness and a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, Licensed Acupuncturist, functional medicine practitioner, and integrative health provider. His work focuses on helping patients better understand complex chronic symptoms through a root cause, whole person approach.
Dr. Kolin specializes in functional medicine, East Asian medicine, CIRS and mold related illness, digestive health, hormonal health, immune patterns, stress physiology, nervous system regulation, and patients who have continued searching for answers after conventional workups have not fully explained what they are experiencing.
His clinical philosophy is shaped by advanced training, years of patient care, and his own personal experience navigating complex illness. This gives him a deep respect for patients who feel overwhelmed, unheard, or disconnected from their bodies, and informs an approach that is thoughtful, individualized, and grounded in the relationship between physiology, environment, lifestyle, nervous system health, and the whole person.
Through Manifest Health & Wellness, Dr. Kolin provides remote functional medicine support for patients throughout California. His work may include detailed health history review, functional lab interpretation, nutrition and lifestyle guidance, supplement strategy, and integrative care planning designed to help patients move from confusion toward clarity.
Dr. Kolin has also studied with leaders in functional medicine, including Dr. Datis Kharrazian, whose clinical models have influenced modern approaches to autoimmune, neurological, and complex chronic health concerns. This training supports Dr. Kolin’s commitment to looking beyond surface level symptoms and helping patients explore the deeper patterns that may be contributing to their health challenges.
In addition to his clinical training, Dr. Kolin is certified in Conscious Connected Breathwork through Moni Osborne, daughter of Judith Kravitz, founder of Transformational Breathwork. This training deepened his appreciation for the breath as a bridge between physiology, emotion, nervous system regulation, and personal transformation. His breathwork background informs the way he understands stress physiology, embodied healing, and the deeper patterns that can influence health, resilience, and self connection.
At the heart of his work is a simple belief: healing requires more than information alone. It requires careful listening, clinical discernment, nervous system awareness, and a plan that honors the full complexity of the person being cared for.
Melissa Kress is an integrative health coach, breathwork practitioner, Master NLP Practitioner and Coach, Master Hypnotist, and Master Clinical Hypnotherapist. She brings more than a decade of coaching experience to Manifest Health & Wellness, supporting clients through lifestyle change, nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, identity growth, and personal transformation.
Known for her ability to cut to the heart of the matter, Melissa helps clients identify the patterns, beliefs, habits, and emotional dynamics that may be keeping them stuck. Her work brings greater awareness to the mind body connection while offering practical tools to support meaningful, targeted change.
Melissa is certified in Conscious Connected Breathwork and integrates this powerful modality into her broader coaching work. Her sessions help clients reconnect with the body, access deeper emotional awareness, support nervous system regulation, and create space for release, clarity, and inner steadiness.
Her training and background include Reiki Energy Medicine, meditation, Human Design, massage, ZenTouch, BodyWisdom techniques, and multiple transformational healing modalities. Many of these studies began as part of her own healing journey, allowing her to address personal trauma, unwind old patterns, and become a clearer and more grounded guide for others.
Melissa’s life experience is as multidimensional as her work. She grew up with a deep connection to nature, spending childhood summers along the Cedar River in the Midwest, riding horses, working the land, and discovering the healing power of heart connected presence. She was also shaped by a strong Native American influence, which instilled in her a lasting respect for the earth, the interconnectedness of all beings, and the importance of balance.
Before entering the healing arts and coaching fields, Melissa served in the Armed Forces, where she earned secret clearance, special recognition as the top scoring Expert Marksman in her battalion, Airborne Wings at Fort Benning, a Good Conduct Medal, and an Army Commendation Medal upon her Honorable Discharge. This background reflects the discipline, courage, precision, and standard of excellence she brings to her work.
Melissa is also an accomplished executive and entrepreneur. She graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and holds a Master of Business Administration. She integrates the healing arts, business, spirituality, and holistic principles to help clients cultivate mindfulness, personal empowerment, and a more intentional relationship with their lives.
At the heart of Melissa’s work is the belief that meaningful transformation becomes possible when the mind, body, nervous system, and spirit are brought into greater alignment. Through breathwork, coaching, and practical transformational tools, she helps clients access their intrinsic fortitude, move through fear and self limiting patterns, and manifest more consciously.
