About Me
Hello, I’m Melissa, the heart and soul behind The Healthy Edge, and your dedicated Clinical Naturopath. With a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy from the esteemed Southern School of Natural Medicine, my credentials only scratch the surface of what I bring to your health journey.
With over 8 years of experience in Australia and abroad in Singapore, I’m a leading authority in holistic health care in The Yarra Ranges. My passion is guiding women through menopause—a phase I’m navigating myself. My intimate knowledge of menopause, bolstered by my formal training in reproductive hormone health, provides me with a unique, empathetic lens through which I address your health concerns.
But my commitment to natural medicine and wellness is not just professional; it’s deeply personal. Diagnosed with a severe Autoimmune Disease at the age of 9, I was told my only recourse was medication and hope. Yet, even as a child, I sensed there had to be more to health than just pharmaceuticals. My belief was validated when a Naturopath’s intervention led me into remission, igniting my lifelong passion for natural medicine.
Today, I am the living testament to the transformative power of naturopathy. My commitment to holistic health extends to my lifestyle as well. For years, I have been in the gym and recently, I’ve transitioned to strength training, a strategic move to fortify my bones during menopause.
In addition to my naturopathic expertise, I’m also a qualified in Nutrition and Fitness.
Whether you’re grappling with menopause, other hormonal imbalances, or chronic conditions, I bring a comprehensive skill set to devise a treatment plan tailored just for you.
My life’s mission is simple: to impart the healing touch of natural medicine to those who need it. I have walked the path you’re on and emerged stronger, and I’m here to guide you through it.
Your wellness journey deserves the expertise and empathy only The Healthy Edge can provide.
