Grief does not need to be healed, it is the healing itself.
Dr. Mia Hetenyi
I am an Autumn Woman Elder (A.W.E.)
I believe the journey of Peri/menopause is rEvolutionary in the sense that it calls for radical change, and a shedding of old skin and habits. Like all rites of passage, peri/menopause re-shapes us — physically, metabolically, neurologically, hormonally and spiritually.
It’s not just a mindset. It’s not a hyperbole. It’s real and affects women in multiple complex ways.
I understand the unique physiology and subtle unspoken language of a Woman’s body. I am a grief doula and shadow worker, breathwork facilitator and experienced somatic educator.
I prescribe sound, evidence-based natural medicine as part of my therapeutic approach, and I offer functional testing options where necessary.
A 1:1 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, Counsellor 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.
