I’m Melanie McAuliffe, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN, LD) and the voice behind Navigate Heart Health and Heart & Harbor, LLC.

For more than a decade, I’ve supported people recovering from heart attacks, stent placements, and heart surgeries in a hospital-based cardiac rehab program.

During that time, I’ve seen the same challenge come up again and again: it’s one thing to leave the hospital with a stack of recommendations, and another to actually build those habits into your daily life. That gap is where many people feel lost, discouraged, or even fearful about the future.

Navigate Heart Health was created to bridge that gap. This community is a safe harbor where you can get ongoing guidance, connect with others who understand, and learn practical ways to live heart-healthy - without pressure, guilt, or an all-or-nothing approach.

Whether you were diagnosed this morning, are in the middle of rehab, or have been working on changes for years, you belong here. You don’t have to figure it all out alone - this is a place to find support, encouragement, and the tools to keep moving forward, wherever you are on your journey.
