Education. Empowerment. Whole-Body Wellness.
At Real Food Freedom, we believe that women deserve trustworthy, practical education about their bodies, food, and wellness — without the noise of fad diets or therapeutic overpromises. What began as a single course has evolved into a growing learning hub designed to support a more informed, compassionate approach to women’s health through food-based practices and emotional wellness tools.
Our mission is to make natural health education accessible, respectful, and grounded, offering a space where individuals and partners alike can confidently explore and share wellness tools rooted in both tradition and evidence.
As our community grows, so will our course library — with more offerings coming soon to support women’s health, food freedom, and hormone education.
What We Offer
We create non-clinical, non-certification online education programs that guide people through topics like seed cycling, cycle awareness, nutrition education, and emotional wellbeing. Our courses are created to be supportive, easy to follow, and legally compliant within Australian guidelines.
Whether you're looking to understand your own body better or represent our brand in a professional setting, our programs are here to support your journey.
Our Core Programs
Food Peace & Body Wisdom
A self-paced program that helps you rebuild a trusting, peaceful relationship with food using Functional Nutrition and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). Learn to tune into your body’s cues and release emotional blocks — all from a place of compassion and self-respect.
Seed Cycling Foundations
This free course is your introduction to the concept and practice of seed cycling — a food-based routine used to support body awareness throughout the menstrual cycle. You'll discover how seeds like flax, pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower have traditionally been used, along with simple ways to integrate them into your daily rhythm.
Seed Cycle Partnership Training Hub
Created for our affiliates, stockists, and brand partners, this training hub provides the product knowledge, communication tools, and brand-aligned education needed to speak clearly and responsibly about seed cycling. It’s not a certification, but rather a trusted resource to help you support your customers and community with confidence.
About The Seed Cycle Founder Mel Kovacevic
Melissa Kovacevic, known as Mel, is the founder of Real Food Freedom and a passionate advocate for food-based wellness and emotional empowerment. Her journey began over a decade ago when she set out to heal her own relationship with food and body image, particularly around emotional eating and weight challenges.
Through lived experience, personal growth, and years of self-study, Mel discovered the powerful role that real food and emotional tools like EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) could play in helping women reconnect with their bodies — without restriction, shame, or quick fixes.
In her work, Mel also came across seed cycling — a simple, food-based routine using seeds like flax, pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower to support menstrual cycle awareness. The benefits were clear, but so was the gap: many people were using or promoting seed cycling without a grounded understanding of how to explain it or apply it with confidence.
That’s what inspired the creation of the Seed Cycle Partnership Training Hub and the Seed Cycling Foundations Course — two resources built to make seed cycling education more accessible, practical, and clear for both everyday learners and wellness advocates.
Mel’s mission is to empower women to feel more at home in their bodies, and to help brands, partners, and curious individuals share food-based wellness from a place of integrity, simplicity, and respect.
