What clients are saying…

  • “I have been working with Mel for the past 5 months and what a difference it has made! Mel recommended some lab testing and when the results came back we significantly changed my eating habits. I am far more aware of what my body needs now and as a result I feel like a new person, have more energy, less period pain and I am inspired to lead a better lifestyle. Mel has been amazing – her passion for health is absolute and she genuinely wants to make a difference in the lives of people. She really listens and really cares.”

  • “Finding Mel has been a blessing! She encourages an holistic, integrative and natural approach to health and focuses on nourishing whole foods and targeted supplementation. Mel balances this approach with advanced health science and testing procedures. Diagnostic testing provided concrete answers to problems I was experiencing and with Mel’s report I finally had the information I needed. After working with Mel for the past 6 months I have the tools to heal myself in a gentle and sustainable way - I’ve experienced significant relief from chronic problems and feel myself improving more and more each day. Mel was recommended to me by a friend and I would now recommend her to anyone experiencing health issues.”

  • “After suffering from severe gut issues, food intolerances, back pain and fatigue I had had enough and needed answers. Mel was able to diagnose my issues in a way I could understand and she provided me with a 3-month plan that involved changes to my lifestyle and diet as well as the use of supplements. Mel has an in-depth knowledge of the human body, was always available to answer any questions I had and I could tell she wanted me to get better as quickly as possible. I now have a much more balanced lifestyle and can live without taking laxatives everyday! I also feel that I have a much better understanding of how my body works – I know how to listen to my body and know what to eat and when to rest.”
