I'm Mel, a registered clinical Naturopath. I'm passionate about helping people optimise their health by beginning with the basics and not over complicating how to prioritise wellbeing. 

One of my core philosophies is using food as medicine. Food is more than just fuel - it's a powerful tool for healing and vitality. What you put into your body can make a real difference in your life. 

I believe that eating well is the most basic form of self-care. 

My own health experiences taught me about the intricacies of the body and mind, and gave me the awareness and insight behind the saying "you are what you eat" - along with an understanding of the ‘root cause’ approach to restoring balance and supporting long-term health. 

This showed me firsthand how nutrition is medicine, and how making healthy choices can truly change your life. Since then, I have never looked back. After studying to follow my passion, I now work as a Naturopath to support others - using my knowledge to encourage and guide you along a path to better living. 

My approach uses evidence-based naturopathic medicine tailored to you. I specialise in using herbal medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle changes to restore balance and gain vitality - so that together, we can rediscover your confidence and well-being. 

My roots, and home are here in rural Southland, New Zealand. I'm excited to share my expertise to help support you on your health journey.
