Heal your relationship with food & with yourself
Designing a diet that loves you back
As a wellness coach with expertise in naturopathic nutrition and disordered eating, I can support you to:
-
Discover the foods that love you back
-
Uncover the beliefs that keep you stuck in chaotic eating patterns
-
Shift your relationship with food so you're in the driving seat
-
Redesign your diet so that it supports your health goals
-
Increase your intake of vegetables (in a tasty way)
-
Improve your energy levels and your mood naturally
-
Lose excess weight, without calorie-counting
As a French-Italian foodie with a background in chef work, I know the importance (and the joy) of good food. You can rest assured that I won't recommend you switch your comfort foods for iceberg lettuce or cucumber salad. There is no point forcing yourself to eat meals you don't enjoy. The secret to a healthy relationship with food is choosing meals that satisfy you, based on your tastes and preferences, and how much time you want to spend in the kitchen (not much!).
If you're tired of…
-
Feeling hungry and/or bloated after meals
-
Eating foods that don't make you feel good
-
Dieting then putting the weight back on
-
Feeling confused by all the contradictory rules about what makes a healthy diet
-
Feeling like your relationship with food is chaotic and out of control
-
Not knowing where to begin to make changes that are relevant to your goals
… then let's talk about designing a diet that loves you back.
Testimonials
I expected a food-coach. But I got so much more! I felt that I could be open, Mel really listened to me. No matter what I told her, she always knew how to help or what to say.
- Kiara D.
In a year and a half, I have learned so much about myself and have grown emotionally, have seen improvements in my nutrition, diet, and stress management. Mel has guided me in finding my wellness rhythm and loving myself again.
- Roland R.
Before I started the sessions with Mel I felt lost, unhappy and disappointed in myself. I have been struggling with emotional eating and extreme IBS symptoms for many years and I was confused about my true relationship with food. But, what a beautiful, explorative journey it has been! I felt understood and listened to, and I could really be myself during the sessions. She managed to create a safe space where judgment does not exist and where there was so much room for laughter as well.
- Aleksandra J.
I had the privilege of being guided by Melanie in Compassionate Inquiry sessions. The experience was both empowering and humbling, allowing me to become more present in my body and explore my inner depths with better awareness. Melanie's deep compassion and genuine love creates a safe and nurturing space for exploration. Her guidance has been instrumental in my journey, and I am grateful for the insights and growth I have achieved through her sessions.

How can holistic wellness coaching benefit you?
1
Wellbeing & weight-loss
Perhaps you're carrying a few extra pounds, or you struggle with chronic pain or fatigue, or you simply don't feel as energized and vital as you would like. Your body is sending you signals that something needs to change, but you're not sure know where to begin.
Finding a healthy balance is about so much more than sticking to a certain meal plan or doing certain exercises. The magic happens when you reconnect with your true self. When you do, you're able to tune into your body and discover the foods that love you back, the movements you love to do, and the practices (whether that's mindfulness, meditation, creativity, community, or something else) that truly resonate with you.

Inner strength & resilience
You've been through a lot in your life. Chances are you've made mistakes too, lots of them. Like all of us! It can be difficult to see the learning potential that our struggles can offer. This is where coaching comes in handy.
Fostering a healthy sense of strength and resilience does not mean that you have it all figured out. It means that you are willing to dig into yourself to understand why you react in certain ways. You can learn how your beliefs, thoughts and actions have taken you to this precise spot, and you can bear witness to that without judging yourself for the past. Once you do, you gain an unshakable inner strength that propels you towards your goals.

Radical self-acceptance
No change is possible if you don't first accept who you are and where you are in life. This is the foundational piece from which positive change becomes effortless.
Using Compassionate Inquiry, we dive into the deeper layers to find the why behind your current state of being, gaining a loving and compassionate understanding of the experiences that have brought you where you are today. Using coaching strategies and tools, we uncover your unique strengths and create a road map towards a balanced, fulfilled, healthy life.
