My story and how I can help you!
I’m Melissa, I am a qualified Holistic Hormone Coach and a Reiki Master. I’m seizing this opportunity to properly introduce myself to you by providing a little more about me and my journey to becoming a Holistic Hormone Coach.
For the past 22 years I have worked in education as an education assistant, working with young children… guiding, supporting, and nurturing them, whilst watching them grow as individuals. It gave me immense pleasure and was very rewarding being there from the beginning of the year through to the end with them.
So, you’re probably thinking what brought her to being a hormone coach, something totally different from education.
Well, let’s go back 14 years to when it all began… and how my journey on the road to wellness was due to a personal crisis.
In 2006, I began noticing persistent experiences of anxiety and depression, whilst struggling with weight issues, low self-esteem, Amenorrhea (the absence of menstruation), adrenal fatigue and an underactive thyroid, which led to the partial removal of my thyroid.
I felt the full effects of hormonal imbalance and was eventually diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).
Life was uncomfortable and I was fed up. Having no success with conventional medication or available health treatments, I began to research and study hormonal health, whilst also experimenting and listening to my own body, learning what worked and what didn’t.
In 2016, after many years of studying, I became a qualified integrative nutrition health coach specialising in hormones… growing immensely as a person with every part of my journey making me wiser, kinder and more patient.
All these experiences, drew me to starting my own business so I could empower and teach women how to make their hormones work for them, rather than against them! My mission is to educate women in their teens, 20s, 30s and 40s, on how to take back control of their hormonal health and happiness.
My number one goal is to share my passion and skills, giving hope to those who are suffering. The body has an amazing capacity to heal and recover, if it is just given the chance.
I’m here to empower and teach women how to make their hormones work for them, rather than against them!
