Dr Melissa started her career in child care. From there, trained as a musculoskeletal therapist with a focus on helping people get the most out of their bodies.

In her busy practice in Sydney, Kate combines naturopathic philosophy, with scientific knowledge and functional testing to provide a fully integrated, personalised and holistic approach to health and wellness.

With nearly two decades of experience in the health and wellness field Kate loves to motivate clients to lead a healthy and balanced lifestyle. She helps guide patients on their journey towards achieving vibrant and long-lasting health through education, understanding and support.

Her areas of special interest include energy issues, thyroid and adrenal health, menopause, weight loss and blood sugar problems, including insulin resistance and diabetes, and all types of digestive issues. 

She is also passionate about food as medicine, and sees optimal nutrition as essential for anyone who wants to maintain or regain their health.  How you look and feel, even how well you sleep is often a direct result of the foods you eat.  When you feel great, you have the physical and creative energy and mental clarity that will enable you to achieve absolutely anything in life. 

Another special area she loves to work with is children and family health, particularly with nutrition, meal planning and specifically looking at macronutrient balance with the diet which can help greatly with overall family health and wellness. 

Her goal with each new patient is to customise a protocol that works – taking into consideration each person’s time, budget and personal circumstances. Above all, she is a realist. She will work with you to find what you need right now and how to get you moving in the right direction.
