Hi there, I'm Mel...
I'm a Melbourne Nutritionist that works with women across Australia.
My mission is to improve the quality of your life...
I make this possible through the use of food and nutrition, so you can enjoy your life the way you are meant to.
Believe me when I say, I've been in your shoes...Â
My Reality
Although I was an extremely healthy and active teenager, I made some unhealthy decisions that led me into adulthood. I smoked. A lot. I relied heavily on sugar and processed foods to give me enough energy to get through my day, and I even stopped exercising.
All in all, I was a textbook example of poor health and lifestyle choices, and over time, those choices created complications that well… kind of changed me.
I found myself burnt out, lacking energy, bloated and experiencing problematic periods that I intuitively knew were just not right.
This wasn’t the way that I was supposed to feel. And it certainly wasn’t the way that I wanted to live.
But I wasn’t sure what to do about it… yet.
After numerous visits to different health professionals who were unable to help me feel much better, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
I WANTED to feel good again.
My Journey
I knew there was a way, and it was time for me to find it. I quit smoking (which was incredibly hard), and I began to research the impacts food and nutrition could have on my body.
Based on what I learned, I decided I needed to change my life to incorporate a healthier and more focused approach to nutrition. This, alongside my rediscovery of movement, meant that I was finally able to take control of my energy, my periods and my happiness.
The changes I needed to make were so simple, and I felt better than I had in such a long time after making them.
Better than I had dared to hope I could.
I felt energised again. I felt happy. I felt like me.
From there, I completed an Advanced Diploma of Nutritional Medicine as well as Certificates in Personal Training, Group Fitness and as a qualified as Mat and Reformer Pilates Instructor.
Finally I felt like I was armed with knowledge that would really make a difference as a Melbourne Nutritionist.
My Service To You...
I knew that I needed to share this knowledge with other women feeling stuck and unheard like I had felt.
Women who are sick of feeling like an exhausted shadow of their former selves. Women who know that there is a better way to live. Women just like you.
Your health and happiness is linked to the foods that you eat. And I am here to show you how your food, nutrition and lifestyle choices can have a profound impact on your energy, your mental clarity and your hormone health.
And even more importantly than that? I am here to show you how you can feel so much better.
You deserve this. It is within your power.
And I cannot wait to help you change your life.
