Our Team
Dr. Melonie Schoenherr
Owner & CEO , DC, IBCLC
Hi there! I’m Dr. Melonie, a lifelong nerd with a passion for the human body and its incredible abilities. From a young age, I was captivated by the magic of pregnancy and babies, and I intentionally shaped my life to become the kind of mom and wife I dreamed of being. Today, I’m blessed to live that dream with my husband and our two little ones.
Dr. Adriell Desero
Lead Chiropractor
Dr. Desero graduated from Palmer College in 2023 and joined our Begin Well Co. Team in February of 2025! She has recently moved back home to Metro Detroit and looks forward to caring for all of our mamas, babies, and families! If Dr. Adriell is not at the office, you can find her chasing her niece and nephews, coaching women's fitness classes, or serving in the kids' ministry at Woodside Bible Church.
Riley Super
Executive Assistant
I joined the Begin Well Co. team in February 2024. I’m so excited to be working with moms and babies! I love getting to help the moms and nurture their babies at the office. I hope to have children of my own in the future with my awesome high school sweetheart, now fiancé, Bryce. I’ve already learned so many new things here to add to my knowledge of parenting. In my spare time, I love spending time with my friends and family, watching movies, and reading. I’m so grateful to be a part of the Begin Well Co. team!
Elise Potts
RN, IBCLC
Hi! My name is Elise and I am an IBCLC as well as a registered nurse. When I am not at Begin Well Co, I love spending time outdoors with my husband and two girls. My background as a nursing instructor and a hospital-based postpartum nurse allows me to bring knowledge and experience to help create a well-rounded foundation for your lactation journey.

Hello! I'm Jill, and I am a BSN, RN joining the team after 4 years of being a NICU nurse! I am passionate about working with parents and their babies, and so excited to start this new chapter as a Lactation Consultant at Begin Well Co! I got my CLP in December 2023 and have been shadowing Dr. Melonie since August 2023. I will be taking my IBCLC exam in April. I am a wife to my husband, Jeff, and a Mom to my sweet 4-year-old daughter, Lily. In my spare time, I love to spend time with my family and friends, and I love to bake!
Christi Coppola
Front Desk & Office Mom
Hello! My name is Christi Coppola and I joined the Begin Well Co. family in November 2024. My little party of 3 includes my husband, Jeremy, of 8 years and my son, Luca, who is 5 years old. When I have a minute to myself, I love to read and craft on my Cricut. I am a big people person, and now it is part of my job! Chatting with mamas and loving on their babies is pretty much my dream job. I am so excited to be working with these amazing people and this great company!

We empower parents through education, personalized care, and hands-on guidance, equipping them with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions.
We debunk breastfeeding myths, treat the causes of latch and feeding issues, and help babies thrive—all in a nurturing, judgment-free space. Our Thursday “Well-Fed” group offers a time for connection, questions, and support from both professionals and other parents.
