Training
I’ve been delivering training online and in-person for many years. It’s a special interest of mine and I feel very privileged to share my knowledge and insights and hear the experiences of others.
“Mel is such an amazing supervisor. Having had a bad experience with supervision before I was hesitant starting with someone new but it couldn’t be more different. Working with Mel has taken a load of the worry/mental load off especially when working with complex cases which push my knowledge. I feel more supported than ever and she is so knowledgeable I have already learned a tonne and am a much better practitioner as well as being kinder to myself as a result of our work together.”

Hi, I’m Mel - Registered Nutritionist
I spent a big chunk of my life hating my body and being afraid to eat. Over the years I've had a love/hate relationship with food - it was my best friend and my worst enemy. It had so much power over me (usually at the times I tried to control it the most!). It wasn’t healthy, and that’s quite hard to admit when the assumption exists that nutritionists have it all sussed.
So, here I am; taking what I’ve learnt through lived experience and blending it with my professional experience to provide you with personalised non-diet nutrition and counseling.
“Following Mel’s advice, mostly related to hearing, feeling and understanding the signs, I reintroduced new foods, tried new ones and modified my diet. She helped me to get the vitamins and minerals that I wasn’t getting before, just because of all the food I used to exclude from my diet. That gentle approach to food, to nutrition, to connect with your body, supported in science is a great combination that anyone could benefit from. Thanks Mel, our conversations and all that I learned changed my life.”

I believe that eating disorder support for neurodivergent folk MUST improve and be more accessible. That’s why I need your help - please consider contributing whatever you can afford to help me continue creating much-needed resources to those in financial hardship.

My blog
Menopause is a deeply individual experience, with symptoms affecting people in vastly different ways. While discussions around menopause have increased, there remains a gap in understanding how it intersects with neurodivergence.
