Rewire How You Think About Food and Your Body
Gone are the days when restricting obsessing over food was the way to lose weight. We know so much better now and fad diets just aren't the way to go. Experts understand that in fact, "dieting" can be detrimental to both your physical and mental health, creating a host of problems that are then handed down to younger generations.

Get Empowered
We give you the tools to understand your eating habits, support your hormones, and build a healthier relationship with food — without the overwhelm. Learn to embrace and work with your body rather than against it!

Stop the Self Sabotage
When you constantly restrict yourself, you set yourself up for failure. Not only does your body hang on to the weight because it's frightened about not being fed, but this behaviour almost always leads to inner rebellion and binge eating.

Address the Cause
Other programs miss out on an important piece of the puzzle as they address the behaviours (what you eat), without tackling the underlying cause (why you eat). We use Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), otherwise known as Tapping, to target what's happening beneath the surface. Your subconscious mind is a powerful thing!
Why choose Real Food Freedom?
I feel so much more comfortable and confident working with Mel, knowing that she has had her own struggles with food. I think a lot of practitioners in the nutrition space can be unrelatable but Mel really gets it.

MEL REALLY GETS IT... SHE SPEAKS FROM EXPERIENCE
Mel has had her own struggles with food and her weight. In fact, that's how she started her business in the first place - she studied nutrition and EFT to help herself, and then decided to use her knowledge to help others!
REAL FOOD FREEDOM ISN'T RESTRICTIVE
Lots of programs are about calorie counting, restricting yourself and sticking to a strict diet. Real Food Freedom is different. We practice functional nutrition, intuitive eating and address the cause of the behaviour first.
IT ISN'T ABOUT A NUMBER ON THE SCALES
This isn't the kind of program where you're forced to get on the scales every day and report back to a higher power. We're more focused on how you feel, than what the scales say!
IT'S TEACHING YOU SKILLS YOU CAN USE FOR LIFE!
What you learn in Real Food Freedom are skills that you will use forever. This isn't a diet - it's a whole mindset shift. And you'll want to refer back to your learnings and maybe even share them with your loved ones!
Course Outline
Grounded in Functional Nutrition, the philosophy of Vitalism, and the transformative practice of EFT Tapping, this program goes beyond surface-level fixes. You’ll uncover the root causes of your eating behaviours, shift your mindset, and re-learn how to eat in a way that truly supports your body.

AWESOME FEEDBACK
What our students are saying...
“
Working with Melissa over the last month has been most transformative, concentrated and emotionally maturing. EFT is a beautiful & potent healing technique & Melissa is a wonderful teacher. Her experience in EFT was very evident from my first appointment. Professional, non-judgemental and knowing what questions to ask when tapping made each of my sessions productive.

Even accomodating me being disabled by having our sessions by Zoom.
I have benefited from my sessions and highly recommend Functional Health

I have done several sessions of tapping with Melissa and she is wonderful! The beliefs I have worked through, and the decrease in pain for chronic conditions has been life changing. I’ve even been able to do tapping on behalf of my daughter which has been helpful too. I’d highly recommend Melissa. Such a kind person too, very relatable, funny and a beautiful soul.
