When to consider a nutritionist
Food plays such an important role in how our bodies function; correct foods should nourish your body to thrive and meet the demands of your day; while the wrong foods can lead to dysfunction.
You should consider a nutritionist if you have concerns with your physical, emotional or cognitive health. Read through our list below to see if working together can benefit you and your family.
A nutritionist may help if your child experiences:
Anger outbursts disproportionate to the situation
Fatigue and lethargy
Recurrent infections and illness
Digestive discomfort
Asthma
Academic struggles or messy handwriting
Lack of concentration
Clumsiness, brain fog or poor memory
Hyperactivity
Anxiety
Eczema and other chronic skin irritations
Poor appetite, fussiness or food intolerance
Insomnia or difficulty falling asleep
Regular night waking or terrors
Chronic growing pains
I believe in a holistic approach to identify the root causes and contributing factors of these issues.

Nutritionist support for lipoedema
The underlying driver of heavy legs, pain and swelling is inflammation. Work with Mel to uncover your hidden diet and lifestyle triggers that are causing your inflammation. Not every lipoedema body is the same and neither are the triggers.
What are the benefits of nutrition for your child?
The current approach in children’s health focuses largely on childhood obesity and encouraging intake of vegetables. What is not being emphasised is the effect of nutrient insufficiency on the body as a whole.
We live in a society where food is readily available, we are overfed yet many children are not meeting the recommended intake for certain nutrients regardless of their weight.
This can result in decreased cognitive performance, diminished immune function, fatigue, compromised growth, poor sleep and digestive issues.
Trust your gut
Too often our concerns are dismissed or ignored. I trust the instincts of my clients to know when something is not right.
