Grief does not need to be healed, it is the healing itself.
Dr. Mia Hetenyi
I am an Autumn Woman Elder (A.W.E.)
The journey through mid-life & peri/menopause is rEvolutionary in the sense that it calls for radical change, the shedding of old skin, patterns and habits. Like all rites of passage - peri/menopause re-shapes us physically, metabolically, neurologically, hormonally and spiritually.
For many women, the symptoms of Peri-menopause are complicated, even unbearable, and to be honest - there’s A LOT of wellness 'opinions’ and meno-washing out there.
I offer clients an informed and comprehensive perspective on their health options. I prescribe sound, evidence-based natural medicine as part of my therapeutic approach, whilst considering your budget for therapies. I understand the unique physiology and subtle language of a Woman’s body. I am a grief doula and shadow worker, breath-work facilitator and experienced clinician.
A session with me is an opportunity to talk about your symptoms, grief, personal pain or anything that you're moving through. I use my skills as a Naturopath, Herbalist and Nutritionist to best support your health and vitality as an ageing Woman.

Including my Bachelor of Health Science with a major in Naturopathic & Herbal Medicine which was only the beginning of what has become an indefinable medicine & wisdom I’ve come to know.
As a mum of 3 children, Mel was able to offer PRACTICAL solutions tailored to my specific needs. She educated me about the importance of nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, herbal medicine, and other natural modalities. With her guidance, I began to make significant changes in my diet and daily routine. Slowly but surely, I started experiencing positive and long-lasting shifts in my well-being.

In the spirit of authenticity, here's what you also need to know:
I’m not in the business of spoon-feeding programs, or before and after shots and brand hype. I don’t subscribe to company 'product-based’ protocols, quantum gidgets and gadgets or MLM (of any kind).
In fact, your body is the technology I use.
I may recommend Functional Pathology Testing for certain conditions only if I feel it’s necessary. If you’re seeking restrictive food plans or harsh detox programs then I ask that you look elsewhere - they're not my focus unless directly linked to the core of my work.
It is only fair that I tell you so.
