A Grounded Horizon
Living Beyond a MacTel Diagnosis
You can't control exactly how MacTel will affect your vision. But you don't have to let uncertainty write the rest of your story.
Meet Melissa Williams
With over 26 years of experience in healthcare, including 8 months as a Life Coach at Point of Light Life Coaching, I specialize in fostering personal development and guiding individuals toward meaningful and transformative change. My work is driven by a passion for helping clients overcome challenges and achieve sustainable self-improvement through empathetic support and evidence-based strategies.
At Point of Light Life Coaching, we empower clients to navigate physical, emotional, and lifestyle transitions with confidence. By leveraging my background as a Registered Nurse and my expertise in patient advocacy, public policy, and business development, I focus on creating a collaborative environment that inspires growth and long-term success.
MY STORY
For 30 years, I worked in nursing and healthcare.
Then MacTel changed the direction of my life.
Receiving a diagnosis can bring questions that don't always have a place in a medical appointment—questions about identity, work, relationships, independence, what matters now, and what comes next. My own experience with MacTel led me to create Grounded Horizon—a space where people can receive guidance and support as they navigate the life that exists alongside their diagnosis. I'm not here to tell you what your medical future will be. I'm here to help you navigate the life you're living now—and explore what might still be possible for the chapters ahead.
WHY GROUNDED HORIZON
Experience, expertise, and lived experience—brought together to support you beyond the diagnosis.
REGISTERED NURSE
30 years of nursing and healthcare experience.
Melissa understands healthcare from the inside.
She understands that medical appointments are an important part of living with MacTel—but they may not answer every question that comes with adapting to life after diagnosis.
BOARD-CERTIFIED NURSE COACH
A structured approach to what comes next.
As a nurse life coach, Melissa helps people explore their thoughts, values, needs, choices and priorities as they navigate change.
LIVED EXPERIENCE
I live with MacTel, too.
Melissa isn't speaking about MacTel only from a professional perspective.
She understands what it means to receive a diagnosis and live with uncertainty personally.
These three perspectives are central to the offer positioning.

What client say
“I looked forward to every session with Melissa. She made it easy to open up, listened with kindness, and always offered support that helped me feel stronger and calmer. She taught me how to handle difficult situations and maintain a positive outlook, and I know I wouldn’t be as optimistic today without her guidance. Melissa is knowledgeable, understanding, and truly cares. I would 100% recommend nurse life coaching — she helped me through so much, and I know she’ll help others just as powerfully.”
Amanda J.
“Melissa coached me through some of the most difficult moments of my life with a powerful yet gentle presence. She listened without judgment, created a safe space for me to sort through my thoughts, and helped me reconnect with my own clarity. Her support made it possible to navigate severe parental alienation, family‑of‑origin trauma, and chronic health challenges with more confidence and steadiness. Melissa’s compassion, thoughtful questions, and ability to truly understand made me feel seen, supported, and never rushed. I’m deeply grateful for the way she walked alongside me.”
