Hello, I’m Melissa, the heart and soul behind The Healthy Edge, and your dedicated Clinical Naturopath, Nutritionist and Personal Trainer. 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 10 years of experience in Australia and abroad in Singapore, I’m a leading authority in holistic health care in Yarra Glen, Lilydale, Montrose and surrounding areas. My passion is helping women through perimenopause to menopause—a phase I’m navigating myself. I also look after middle aged men’s health plus any other issue that comes along after 40! 

But my love of natural medicine is not just professional; it’s deeply personal. I was diagnosed with a severe Autoimmune Disease at the age of 9, My parent were told I would be lucky to make 12 years old.  The only recourse was medication and hope. Yet, even as a child, I knew there had to be more to health than just pharmaceuticals. My passion was sparked when a Naturopath’s intervention led me into remission, igniting my life and will to live.

Today, I am the living testament to the transformative power of naturopathy.

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.

Whether you’re grappling with menopause, or chronic health issues, I bring a comprehensive skill set to devise a treatment plan tailored just for you.

My life’s mission is simple: To help bring back that spark into your step through natural medicine and lifestyle changes.
