Live your best life through perimenopause and beyond.Â
Join the waitlist for the next intake!Life is too short to live in discomfort for a whole era of it...
 I'm here to help you live your best life through perimenopause and beyond.Â
Â
Hi! I'm Mel. I'm a women's health nutritionist (Adv. Dip. Nutritional Medicine), a personal trainer (Cert III & IV Fitness) and a Pilates Instructor (Mat and Reformer Certified). I'm also a mum of two and business owner- so there's a lot of hats on my head!
A few years back, (during one of the many lockdowns we experienced here in Melbourne, Australia), I started to notice some changes to my cycle consistent with early perimenopause. I took the knowledge I’d gained through my studies, and undertook additional research as well as training with industry experts, to find out everything there is to know about creating the best possible experience during perimenopause and beyond.
Fast forward to now,  I've helped hundreds of women understand their bodies during perimenopause and menopause through my 1:1 sessions, and know exactly how to use food as medicine, nutrition and movement to nurture and relieve symptoms.
This leads to living a happier and more fulfilling life, without the struggle of trying to "just get through the day."
 With the right tools, you can turn your perimenopause and menopause symptoms around!
Is this you...?
- You wake up after a restless night (or even a full night sleep!) and feel like a zombie as soon as your feet hit the floor.
- You're bloated a lot of the time and you have no idea what's changed there - you're still eating the same things.
- You're steadily gaining weight, especially around the middle, but you're eating well and exercising just as you have always tried to. Nothing seems to help get rid of that unwanted fat gain.
- The doctor says your cholesterol is creeping up- again, nothing about your diet has changed!
- Hot flashes, brain fog and mood swings is something that you (and the people around you!) have to deal with on an almost daily basis, and you're so sick of wondering when the next symptom is going to hit.
- You just don't feel like yourself anymore.
If you answered "that's me!" to some or most of these dot points, keep reading, because it doesn't have to be this way. I can help!
We're going to turn things around together!
Â
