“I couldn’t recommend Melanie highly enough. I initially saw her as I wanted to ensure that I follow as nutritious a diet as possible in order to maintain good health both now and in the future. I was also keen for some guidance on hormone balance before the onset of menopause. Melanie instantly put me at ease and was both friendly and professional from the start. The consultations were so interesting and inspiring. I left the first consultation with a whole toolkit of recommendations, including new foods to try, suggestions on eating habits, as well as recommended supplements and advice on wellbeing. The follow up consultation was just as informative, and I was once again equipped with lots of new suggestions and strategies. I have found the recommendations practical to follow, and the new foods are a delicious addition to my diet.”

“I started working with Mel to help with feelings of sluggishness, bloating and weight gain linked to the menopause. Although my diet was already mostly good Mel gave me additional tips and recipes to tweak my eating habits to deal with my natural hormonal changes. Mel offered tailored advice and devised a personalised plan that worked for me, my likes/dislikes and my lifestyle. It has been a surprisingly easy, enjoyable and interesting journey. Mel’s approach is very personable and professional at the same time. There was no hard dieting, unreasonable expectations or cutting out all my favourite foods. Instead, I found myself exploring with new habits and ingredients to achieve sustainable results. After 5 months I have now reached my weight and wellbeing goals and I feel so much better for it. I would recommend Mel to anyone who is struggling with menopausal symptoms or other hormonal imbalance

“I was referred by my PT to Melanie. I wanted to get my IBS and bloating under control. I was already looking after myself and eating healthy so I didn’t understand why I was having such bad symptoms. Melanie asked me to follow her comprehensive list of changes to my food and supplement routine which I followed to the letter. Within four weeks my symptoms were 80% better.’

“It was very beneficial to work with Melanie. She works very holistically, listening attentively to all my concerns and was so thoughtful in the suggestions she made. She integrated all the information when coming up with really comprehensive plans to try, including taking account of reducing costs where possible. If you are looking to work with a nutritionist, I highly recommend Melanie.”
Miriam, Woking
“I got in touch with Melanie for professional advice for issues around my gut health and how to balance out my hormones. Melanie made me feel very relaxed when discussing what could have been considered embarrassing issues but she put me at ease straight away and was extremely professional but friendly with her manner. The first session was in depth and I felt lots of areas of my lifestyle and diet were discussed so when I met up with Melanie for my review session she could provide the best advice going forward. Melanie provided a detailed plan with a variety of different options to consider changing about my diet and lifestyle and has provided a valuable motivational tool to make these changes which have already made a difference to my concerns. I am looking forward to continuing my sessions with Melanie and to do the hormone testing. I would highly recommend Melanie to anyone who has any health, diet or lifestyle concerns, she is brilliant!”

“Mel has been a wonderful help and support to me since I caught COVID last March. She was gentle, understanding and very knowledgeable at my initial consultation, where she formulated an in-depth picture of my personal medical history and diet. She provided me with comprehensive dietary advice to help with my fatigue and the inflammation in my chest, gave me some excellent recipe ideas, recommended vitamins and supplements to aid my recovery and also gave me exercise and self-care advice. She offers a very comprehensive and professional service and is a reassuring and incredibly well-informed practitioner. I would not hesitate to recommend her services.”

“Thank you so much Melanie for your professionalism, knowledge and caring manner whilst discussing my health concerns. You listened attentively whilst I talked through some of my skin complaints focussing especially on acne, scarring and rosacea. Your friendly yet professional manner put me at ease straight away making me talk openly about issues I have struggled to discuss in the past. The plan you pulled together for me was extremely detailed, thorough and included a number of possible foods and drinks to try and ones to avoid. The plan has been achievable to follow and incorporate into my daily routine, and I can honestly say I am beginning to see some noticeable changes in my skin. Your knowledge is remarkable and I cannot recommend you highly enough to others.”

“Mel helped me have a good look at what I was eating and made lots of tailor-made suggestions about how I could improve my diet to help feel better. We discussed the various autoimmune, thyroid, headache and digestive issues I have and she gave a personalised plan recommending specific dietary changes, supplements and lifestyle tips. Trying the lower histamine foods and supplements like magnesium she recommended has helped with the migraines that I have suffered from for over thirty years, my digestion has improved and I am getting better quality sleep. Thank you Mel! Mel is very friendly and knowledgeable and I would recommend her to everyone.”
