Welcome. I am Melanie Lock, an Integrative Naturopathic Counsellor specialising in Peri/Menopause and Mid-life. My approach to Health & Wellness is grounded in Animism, Body Ecology and Science.
Let me explain:
An Animistic approach to Naturopathy considers the biological, ecological and spiritual relationship we have with the intelligence of Nature - on a subtle cellular and grand ecological scale. Animistic Naturopathy seeks to identify and heal these relationships, rather than only ‘fix’ the symptoms of them being in conflict and out of balance.
A Body Ecology approach to health recognises the human body as a living ecosystem of microbes, tissues, cycles and rhythms that are in constant relationship with our environment. Restoring balance between these inner and outer landscapes, reconnects us to our internal resources and empowers our journey towards wellness.
What I offer:
-
Naturopathic herbal medicine consultations with an emphasis on wholefood supplements to support the ‘wholeness’ of your body.
1:1 Private or Zoom sessions available.
-
Practical and sustainable nutritional advice to support your body ecology with a focus on foundational GUT restoration & healing.
-
The Deep Feminine is the realm of the Body, ‘matter’, mother. This work is a deep dive into the magnificent mystery of what is Holy in you.
-
An opportunity to attune to the deep & wise language of your body. Somatic education focuses on developing greater awareness of the body and its sensations as a means of healing, communicating and growth.
-
Our breath is life force. These sessions are private and safely assisted to suit your comfort level. Trauma-informed with sensory challenges respected. *I do not teach the Wim Hof method.
I take a transpersonal approach to my work as a Naturopath, bridging the elements between body and soul to facilitate a journey towards wholeness. Some of the tools I use include: Counselling, Somatic Inquiry, Embodiment Practices, Energy Healing, Ceremony, and Breath-work. I also prescribe sound, evidence-based natural medicines to support your whole health and offer functional testing options too.
My sessions are relational, exploratory and interactive. They are not instructory and prescriptive only. I teach you how to access the richness of your sensuality and life force - gifts often buried beneath layers of toxic wellness culture and personal trauma.
My greatest asset is the maturity and confidence of this medicine and the decades of 1:1 clinical practice that have taught me so much. I am a trauma-informed practitioner, and my space is safely designed for your comfort and privacy.
ALL of you is welcome,
Melanie

“When I first visited Mel , I was struggling with a multitude of health issues that had been plaguing me for years. I had lost hope after numerous visits to conventional doctors who would only prescribe medications that didn't address the root causes of my problems. However, from the moment I stepped into Mels space, I knew I had found someone special and who cared about me as a person and my health and was dedicated to helping me heal”
