You deserve better
You are time-poor and tired. Fatigue, stress, and soreness are catching up with you as you realise that you can’t keep up the pace and the juggle of life demands like you used to. Your clothes are getting tight, but you can’t be bothered with diets anymore. Niggles and old injuries keep getting in the way of your walking plan. You feel so run down and unmotivated that you don’t have much energy for exercise anyway. How are you going to get fit again when everything seems overwhelmingly hard?
It's hard to keep making the right food choices when there’s always something tempting in the tearoom, and it can be nice to reward yourself at the end of a busy day. You’re struggling to sleep but you don’t have time to unwind or relax with so many things on your plate. Feeling irritable and short-tempered doesn't help. But you’re not 20 anymore, and you can’t keep this up. If you have to deal with one more crisis you might just reach your tipping point.......and then what?
It's time for Balance!

What people are saying....
Cara
Mel provided a space for me to analyse my current habits, identify my short & longer term goals, & a space where my health can be my priority. Her calm, gentle manner guided our discussions, slowly identifying options & choices I have, without judgement or pressure.I would highly recommend Mel to anyone seeking to prioritise their health among the pressures of daily life or recovering from injury, illness or set-back.”
Shane
My coaching session with Mel was a valuable look into how I could improve me as a person & to better understand how my life goals will shape my future. Mel’s calm approach was reassuring & I felt able to discuss all matters of my life freely with ease. While my future is ultimately up to me… I believe having Mel on my team is going to make the journey a much more rewarding & fulfilling experience.”
Jordana
Working with Mel was a great opportunity to reflect on where my intentions and actions regarding my physical (and mental) health weren't in alignment and to establish appropriate processes to resolve this. As someone who works in the health space and with people in pain myself, it was really interesting to see where I was actively choosing not to use the knowledge I have and already apply to others to better care for myself. Mel is the ultimate accountability partner, helping you uncover the answers that you already have but maybe can't see because as creatures of habit sometimes it's hard to change the way we do things. If you need someone to gently call you on your BS and remind you that you have the capacity to improve many aspects of your health and wellness with often times simple behavioural tweaks, then Mel is absolutely your person!"
Jo
As a busy working mum it can be hard to admit you need to take time for yourself so you can better help others. It's even harder to acknowledge you need help to learn how to do this well.
​
I'm so glad I took the time to connect with Mel via The Balanced Life Program. Prior to seeing Mel I was frustrated that I seemed to keep finding short term solutions to finding balance in my life. I needed help to pull a bunch of previous learnings together in a way that worked for me.
​
Short, small steps were important, and self acceptance that there will be steps back to keep moving forward. I expect this will be life-long learning for me.
​
I'm thankful to Mel for helping me join the dots, for patiently listening as I spoke through my barriers and surpporting me to explore new strategies. One step at a time.
​
Thank you Mel - for your professional and approachable support, for your patience and encouragement. For helping me on my journey to be gentle and accepting of myself, while continuing to achieve my health and wellbeing goals. I look forward to continued learnings."

Holistic care in one affordable package
If you want to be respected as a whole person, with a range of individual needs, you are in the right place. I have evolved my years of experience into coaching to meet this specific need.
This is not therapy. I will not be replacing doctors, physiotherapists, psychologists, exercise physiologists, dieticians ...etc. However, I'm the right person to help you just get healthy again. YOU. Whole you. Imagine that? A health expert offering holistic care!
