DNP, APRN, FNP-C
Melissa Hanni-Smith leads Soma Health’s regenerative, peptide, and hormone therapy services as Medical Director. Nearly a decade of caring for patients across many specialties and every stage of life has shaped her whole-body approach to functional medicine. She sees how each system affects the others, and she treats the whole person, not just a single symptom.
Melissa holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Baylor University. She is a board-certified family nurse practitioner and a certified EvexiPel provider. She is currently completing the Longevity Medicine Fellowship through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M). The fellowship is advanced training in the science of healthy aging and preventive care, and it leads toward board certification through the ABAAHP.
Most of all, Melissa believes great care starts with a real relationship. She takes time to know each client, listens closely, and builds every plan around their goals. She holds herself to an exceptional standard: helping each person look, feel, and function at their best.
