I started seeing Mel 3 years ago as a ‘desperate dieter’. Over the 10 years prior I had tried almost every diet and exercise regime to achieve weight loss results and would constantly compare myself to others who didn’t have to scrutinise every calorie.

In working with Mel, I learnt that my absence of results wasn’t from my lack of trying and the validation of this alone was golden! Mel coordinated tests to understand my needs and implemented some key hormonal supports and lifestyle changes. We learnt as we went by listening to my body and the results it generated. I won’t lie – it was hard to let go of control at times, but the journey was so much more than physical!

It was not overnight success that I achieved. But more importantly, I no longer wanted overnight success because I understood the changes I needed to make and why. In partnership with Mel I was able to achieve healthy weight loss, address my PCOS and fertility conditions and finally understood how important it is to show yourself kindness!
