Who Am I
Hello there, my name is Mel. I am a qualified Naturopath (BHSc), Mentor and Coach (Dip.) and Meditation Facilitator.
One of my core values and principles is ‘Healer heal thyself’ which developed from the original saying ‘Physician, heal thyself’, meaning before seeking to go out and heal others, one ought to start with healing self first. This does not mean waiting to be perfect before extending to help another, as we only need to be a couple of steps ahead to be able to of service, but it emphasises the importance of working on and healing oneself, so that we are integrated and walking the talk. We can have the best of intentions, but if we have a lot of unresolved issues in our foundations, then it’s likely that our best attempts are going to come out distorted.
Our foundations largely relate to our relationship with self. The depth to which we know and are in touch with who we truly are, our level of self-love, self-respect, and self-esteem, as well as our application of basic energetic clearing and protection (Ask me about Energy Hygiene to learn more).
I am very fortunate to have mentors steps ahead of me, that guide and nurture me to be the best that I can be. This is what I endeavour do and be with all of my clients as a Naturopathic practitioner, Coach, and Mentor. To pass on all of the tools and learnings that I gained so far that have and continue to help me, and to be a light post along the way that shows one of the possible ways back home to self.
My Approach...
The process of healing and transformation, to return to our natural state of health and harmony, cannot just be placating the symptoms of dis-ease that we experience such as gut issues, brain fog, skin rashes, aches and pains etc. For true healing to occur there has to be a deeper exploration of self, a process of self-introspection, healing our emotional wounds and suppression, discovering and correcting our thought patterns to be of love and upliftment, and getting in touch with our true nature and the purpose of why we are here and what we came to do and Be.
You can expect that in a Naturopathic appointment with me there will always be an encouragement for a deeper exploration of your internal landscape, but always with support and guidance, and tools that have and continue to work for me.
I am truly grateful and honoured to work with clients that choose me to be a part of their healing and self-development journey. It's a role that I take seriously and do my upmost best to nurture and support clients health and eternal wellbeing for the highest good of all concerned.
