How I got here . . .
As a small child I suffered from debilitating eczema, asthma and allergies. Stuck in the medical model I tried every treatment under the sun but things only got worse.
I was perpetually exhausted and in deep despair at numerous points in my teens. It was only when I visited a Naturopathic Nutritionist on a yoga retreat aged 27 (on the brink of burnout from running my busy cafe business) that I truly understood why my body was so sick and what to do about it.
I was immediately inspired to study this incredible science and signed up to the Nutritional Healing Foundation days later. I began working deeply on my health through dietary changes, supplementation and Naturopathic techniques and FINALLY woke up feeling energized, better late than never.
At the time I had a successful (yet stressful) cafe business and it soon became apparent to me it needed to go. This shift led me on a journey of, cliched yet very real, ‘self discovery’. I realised that working on my physical body wasn’t enough. We have to feel it to heal it. And I had spent the first 27 years of my life numbing and suppressing my feelings. My nervous system was fried. Once I added in a daily kundalini yoga practice and then discovered Theta Healing, things really started to shift.
In 2021 I discovered Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis and my inner geek rejoiced. This test has revolutionized my Nutrition practice and allowed me to access an even deeper healing for myself and my clients.
I have always been a total childbirth nerd and obsessed with babies and this lead me to train to be a doula way back in 2016. Unfortunately where I was living in France the hospital did not allow doulas OR homebirths. It was only in 2019 when I moved to Vancouver, BC that I could begin my work in the birth world. As a volunteer doula I gained experience will all sorts of births. My passion for birth and uninterrupted birth physiology has only increased and I was overjoyed to have my son at home in 2023. I now mostly work as a Homebirth Doula with some Hair Tissue Mineral clients and Theta Healing clients too but I absolutely love combining all three modalities for the most transformative and nourished pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

“From the moment I sat down with Mel to go through my case history, it felt like someone was really listening and trying to actually make sense of it all for the first time!
Her calm, professional manner helped me to feel at ease and I found myself sharing my whole story with someone who really cared and wanted to help me find a solution. Her treatment plan was clear, concise and easy to follow.
Knowing she was there for follow up support was crucial during the period of change that followed. I would highly recommend Mel to anyone looking to make a positive and lasting change to their health. I'm so glad I had the chance, it has truly been a massive boost on my path to better health.”
