Your Journey to Healing with Melissa Raymond

Your Journey to Healing with Melissa Raymond Eczema & Inflammation Coach | Healing Symptoms Naturally Without Crazy Diets or Complicated Cream Regimes Hi, I'm Melissa and welcome to this page.

My eldest son has had some health challenges including severe eczema, allergies and anaphylaxis. I have looked to natural options to help him, with great success. Our family diet changes have helped immensely - (GAPS diet, wholefood/non-processed food, fermented foods, probiotics, gluten free etc) as well as naturopathy, managing stress, reducing toxins in and around the home, essential oils and outside play. My background as an allied health professional, researcher, and mum on a mission, has helped me to figure out what works (and what doesn't) when it comes to navigating health within the 'healthcare system'. I support parents of kids with eczema, who are frustrated with the old approach, with a new way forward to help their kids become comfortable and happy in their skin.

If your child's eczema isn't any better even after trying everything they've told you to do, it isnt your fault. This is biological reason why ⬆️

It doesn't have to be this way.

Stop using that eczema moisturiser. Do this instead 👇👇👇

Your skin can't heal if your nervous system is stuck in survival mode 👇

My client went from Topical Steroid Withdrawal,🚫😴& low mood, to calmer skin & able to 😊at herself in the mirror💃 Here's how ⬇️

12/07/2025

My client focussed on THIS and her skin started to heal🤯
It wasn't her skin.
It was her nervous system.
(It blew my mind how much it helped, too!)
You see, her nervous system was stuck in fight or flight mode.
This lead to the inflammation in her body being sky high.
It was making her topical steroid withdrawal a nightmare.

Sleepless nights.
Extreme fatigue
Flaking skin - and NOT just where she had her original eczema.
Painful all over.
Itch - oh the itch! She couldn't stop scratching on our first call.
She was constipated, had low mood, and was at her wit's end.

But on that first call, she said to me - I trust you can help me.
I know you can help me.

And over the next 4 sessions, we found the root causes for her eczema and reaction to stopping the steroids.

We focussed on her nervous system.

She released the fears and stored emotions from her childhood.

And her skin started to improve.

Sleep returned to her.

Her digestion improved (yep, she became 'regular' again).

And most importantly, joy entered her life again.

THIS is the reason I do what I do.

And if you're not focussing on the nervous system, this is why you're still stuck in the eczema cycle.

If you're ready to break it, comment HEALING below and I'll send you some options. I have 2 available spots this month to work with me in my 1:1 program.

🚨 ECZEMA ISN'T WHAT YOU THINK IT IS 🚨That moment when you realize eczema isn't just a skin condition - it's your body's ...

🚨 ECZEMA ISN'T WHAT YOU THINK IT IS 🚨
That moment when you realize eczema isn't just a skin condition - it's your body's alarm system going off 🔥
Your skin is literally fighting for you. Every flare, every itch, every patch of inflammation? That's your nervous system in survival mode, trying to protect you from what it thinks is a threat.
Here's the thing:
❌ Treating symptoms = temporary relief
✅ Healing the nervous system with a root cause approach = lasting change
When you only focus on creams, medications, and symptom management, you're essentially putting a band-aid on a fire alarm. The alarm keeps going off because the "danger" (stress patterns, trauma responses) is still there.
This is why your eczema gets better for a while (you finally think, YES! THIS IS IT!), then comes back worse or shows up in new places

Your nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight mode, and your skin is doing the best it can to help you.
But here's what I'm NOT talking about:
I'm not talking about regular meditation, breathwork, yoga, gratitude practices, or exercises to regulate the nervous system and vagus nerve. Although they're wonderful practices, they still don't get to the root of the eczema.
Your body has this amazing inbuilt ability to heal. Remember a time when you grazed your knee? What happened to that skin? It healed, right?
But what would happen if you kept grazing it over and over again? Your skin doesn't get a chance to heal, because the cause is still there.

The real healing happens when you:
💚 Work with your body's symptoms
🧠 Address the underlying stress pattern that is stuck on
🌱 Support the nervous system to switch into its natural healing mode
Your skin isn't your enemy - it's your body's way of saying "I'm doing my best, but I need help."

🌱 Are you struggling with eczema or topical steroid withdrawal?

Understanding your autonomic nervous system is crucial! When our body is in a 'fight or flight' state, it increases cortisol levels, leading to inflammation - and actively stops our body's inbuilt ability to heal.
It's exactly why so many people work on 'gut health', when their nervous system needs the most support first.

My Story

Hello and welcome! My name is Melissa and my page is dedicated to supporting YOUR journey to healing through reducing chemical exposure, making own skin care and cleaning products, using essential oils and herbs for our health, exercise, and wholefoods to optimise nutrition.

I help parents of children with eczema and allergies implement evidence-based approaches, so their child can finally feel comfortable physically and emotionally and the entire family can start living their life again.

I interpret the latest research to inform change with practical and actionable steps.... yep, I’m the research nerd, so that you don’t have to be. :0)

My first son has had some health challenges in his young life including severe eczema, allergies, anaphylaxis and asthma. At the time he developed eczema and allergies, I was doing my PhD - I had access to a wealth of journals and research that helped us along the way. I researched and researched into causes and ways to help him, looking to find ways to heal instead of merely treating the symptoms. I looked into more natural/alternative options to help him, with great success.
