Helping people feel better, for good.

Hi, I’m Mel!

For much of my life, I thought wellbeing was something I needed to earn.

Despite a successful corporate career spanning more than 20 years, I often found myself navigating periods of significant pressure and stress while simultaneously struggling with my own relationship with food and health.

I lived in a cycle of restrictive dieting, frustration and binge eating, constantly searching for the next approach that promised lasting results.

Eventually, I realised the problem wasn't me. The problem was the belief that wellbeing required perfection. That discovery transformed not only my own health but the way I think about wellbeing altogether.

Today, as a qualified Health and Wellness Coach, I help individuals and organisations create realistic, sustainable changes that improve how they feel, think and live.

My Approach

Wellbeing can feel overwhelming. We're constantly exposed to advice about what we should be eating, how we should be exercising, and the habits we should be following. It's no wonder so many people feel stuck or unsure where to begin.

That's why my approach is practical, personalised and holistic.

I don't believe in one-size-fits-all programmes because every person, team and organisation is different. Your goals, challenges, pressures and priorities are unique, and your wellbeing support should reflect that.

Together, we'll explore the bigger picture of your health and wellbeing and identify the changes that will make the greatest difference to you.

My coaching may focus on:

  • Develop practical tools to navigate life's pressures, respond to challenges more effectively and feel more in control.

  • Create simple, sustainable habits that support better sleep, balanced nutrition and consistent energy throughout your day.

  • Reduce overwhelm, improve concentration and create space for clearer thinking and better decision-making.

  • Build greater self-awareness, emotional resilience and confidence in managing your wellbeing.

  • Move beyond short-term fixes and develop routines that feel realistic, achievable and built to last.

  • Identify what matters most to you and create boundaries and habits that support a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Above all, I provide clear, honest guidance without judgement or unrealistic expectations.

Kind Words From Clients

  • "Despite being a little unsure about coaching, my first conversation with Mel felt like an epiphany. From the outset, I was given the space to talk and reflect, alongside thoughtful, insightful guidance that immediately started to shape my thoughts and give me a fresh perspective. Over the following sessions, Mel supported me in building a personal toolkit of ideas, inspiration and practical actions that helped me regain focus and get back on track with looking after myself. Her approach is incredibly refreshing. There is no judgement, just genuine encouragement, meaningful input and an abundance of support. The coaching is truly tailored to your personal circumstances. Nothing is generic. Every action we worked on was unique to me, and most importantly, it works."

  • "Mel took the time to learn about what I had previously done with a fitness coach on macros, this starting point meant that the sessions I had with Mel were worthwhile and actively moving me on to improve my sleep and blood sugar. Although I had my own challenges which affected if I could meet my goals, Mel remained realistic, supportive and professional, praising me for the simple things I had done rather than increasing the guilt I felt at times for not eating well or committing to what I said I would do. In turn, this approach for me made me think about my accountability and how actually I had control over the choices I was making. I wouldn’t have done this without her coaching. Mel gave me the space for emotional realisations and made me feel ok about it. I enjoyed my time working with Mel, she created a great space to be totally honest and myself."

  • “I feel like I’ve been on quite a journey of self-discovery over the last few weeks. Mel has made me really reflect on my actions, my choices and the decisions I make, and we have worked together to unpick lots of things that might stop me reaching my goals. Throughout all the sessions no matter how hard some of them have been, I have felt supported, listened to and been made to feel that my feelings are valid. I would really recommend going on this journey to anyone, no matter what their goals are.”

  • “I didn’t really know what to expect going into this coaching but threw myself into it. During our sessions we’ve focused on building new healthy positive habits for me that stick. I’ve lost weight, gained energy, and most importantly learned to be kinder to myself. Every session left me feeling empowered to make changes and I’ve felt fully supported and heard. If you’re looking for someone who truly listens, understands your goals, and stands beside you every step of the way, I can’t recommend Mel enough.”

  • "A big topic we have covered over my 6 weeks is self-worth, confidence and habit changes. Mel has been great at getting me to really think about how I view myself, why I feel that way, and how I rewrite them, Mel has had patience and shown me great compassion, so I have not felt so vulnerable. I have learnt that perfection is not my goal, and it’s ok to do things in a way that feel comfortable and right for me."

  • “From the very first session, Mel created a calm and welcoming environment, Mel was also non-judgmental, so I was comfortable to open up.  She listened without criticism and offered practical and actionable steps that I could take each week to work on.  I think what I appreciated most out of the sessions, was that it was not about making drastic changes or following strict rules, Mel helped to work through small, achievable steps that could fit into my everyday life, which made this approach more realistic for me and easier to stick to.”

  • "I started to notice real changes even after week 2, which I was surprised at how fast I was feeling better. I had gone from not giving my body enough food to starting to eat in a balanced way. When I started this, I always had the view that less calories were the best approach, however through the ongoing education and awareness I am eating in a much more balanced way that is not only better for me but also my family. As the weeks went on, I also started to try new things and take some time for myself- focusing on what I wanted to try rather than what I thought I 'should' be using my time for. Mel has helped me to understand the right way to eat, and not through restriction which is what I was doing before this. I was amazed to see the weight starting to come off. "

  • "The impact has been amazing, I am sleeping better, my energy levels have improved and most importantly I feel back in control of my health. These sessions were not just informative; they were empowering for me. Mel's approach was supportive, encouraging and always focused on making things work for me but in away where we would work together on the outcome. She has given me the confidence that I can continue after the sessions have finished. I would absolutely recommend Mel to anyone that feels overwhelmed, or unsure where to start."
