When your job feels like detective work and you love it!

Call me nerdy but sifting through client questionnaires, HTMA analyses, Gut Health reports and sometimes blood tests is fascinating to me!

Correlating these with clients' stories helps me in discovering the root causes of existing health problems, building a full picture and formulating a strategy for health transformation and sustained results.

Suddenly, it all makes sense!

If you are ready to invest in your health and return to a version of yourself you are happy with, please DM me to arrange a free connection call.

Who I am and what I do - I am a Yorkshire based nurse turned wellness guide/health coach and a certified Integrative Health Practitioner, Reflexologist and soon to be Holistic Water Therapist (so excited for this!)

Specialising in women's health, preconceptual health optimisation and protection of kidney function (see my other account ).

I offer ONLINE assessment, consultations, 1:1 mentoring, Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis and Gut Microbiome Health testing to discover what is going on with your health at the deepest level. I listen to your story, your concerns and your challenges. You and your situation are unique and deserves to be treated as such. :)

All the above components form the basis of a carefully crafted, highly personalised protocol that give you tangible solutions and simple steps to follow to succeed in transforming your health, reclaiming your energy, confidence and sense of well-being. I am here to guide, support and hold you to account if this helps you. Making changes can be daunting but you don't have to do it alone as I'm here to support you!

We create rock solid foundations first through dietary, fluid and lifestyle changes before looking at tailored supplements you actually need. We work on a healthy mindset and emotional balance, too, if it is relevant for your situation.

Changes take time and commitment and therefore I use a 90-day framework working with clients that requires you to do the work, with my support.

My story and values:

Disillusioned with the way our health system operates, I set up Wetherby Natural Health, offering reflexology treatments (which I still do), and it has grown from there.

I believe in educating and empowering those who come to work with me, so they make everyday lifestyle and dietary choices with confidence.

I am also trained in Bach Flower Remedies and HeartMath Coherence techniques and an Earthing advocate, and can advise on different options for Gold Standard indoor  grounding products, so get in touch if you need help!

The Hidden Gut - Kidney Health Connection: What You Need To Know:

I'm excited to share that my article, 'What You Need to Know on The Hidden Gut-Kidney Connection', has been published in Brainz Magazine!

You may be aware of the widely discussed 'Gut-Brain-Axis', but did you know about the direct link between gut health and kidney function?

The article dives deep into the interconnectedness of these two systems and explores simple, targeted steps you can take to both, nurture your gut microbiome and strengthen kidney health.

Here is what you will learn:

- What is the gut microbiome?
- Why is it important for health?
- What can happen when gut health is compromised?
- What this can mean for your kidneys
- Why a one-size-fits-all approach isn't enough and can even set you back
- Simple steps to balancing YOUR gut microbiome and nurture kidney health

If you want a happy gut and are looking for a way to nurture your kidneys but feel overwhelmed navigating the online maze of information on 'kidney friendly eating and living', this article is for you. It offers valuable insights, links to research, and actionable steps to help you take control of your specific health needs so that you can begin to make everyday dietary decisions with confidence.

What is important to YOU in 2025?
Where do you want to be?
How do you want to feel?
How can you best support those around you?
I have been spending quite a bit of time thinking about these questions over the holidays. Being out in nature continues to inspire me and whatever your state of health right now, one of my highest recommendations is to build in time outdoors in your daily routine. Nature literally heals, even if we don't understand all the ins and outs of 'how'.

Research underpinning one of the simple to do self help methods we'll be talking about in tomorrow's 'Stress Less' workshop.

Q: Can reflexology help with ....?
Q: My sleep is terrible, can you help?
Q: I'm overwhelmed by the all the diets out there.
Q: I don't know where to start - what do you recommend?

Etc there are no daft questions and there certainly is a lot of uncertainty and confusion out in the field!

Whatever it may be, DM me your queries and I'll collect and address them in an upcoming Live here on IG. Just let me know if you'd like to stay anonymous.

I'd like to trial this as a way to support the health of our community where this is wanted, and it's free.

Of note: I am a trained nurse, reflexologist and Integrative Health Practitioner and health has been the focus of my life for decades. However, by sumitting your questions you acknowledge that I am not qualified to diagnose, treat or cure any disease and that it is your responsibility to seek qualified medical assessment, advice and treatment if you are concerned about your health and to ensure that any recommendations made are suitable for your specific condition and situation.

To boost your health or that of a special person at cellular level, from the inside out!

Grounding outside and indoors when the UK weather doesn't play along (!), is one of the most foundational yet effective building blocks of healthy living and vitality.

I personally love the way in which I can support my wellbeing without moving a finger simply whilst sleeping, and would highly recommend Earthing mattress covers to help calm and balance the system, reduce inflammation and improve sleep quality.

I guess it's that time of year and I don't like the whole Black Friday thing, but the discounts offered this week are genuine... 20%.

Different product categories are on offer on different days this week. Today (Monday) it's mattress covers in various sizes. Use checkout code BFMATTRESS20 (valid until midnight)

If this is of interest, I'd recommend checking out the website every day this week.

My practitioner code EARTHING15 remains valid for everything else and throughout the year.

Have a good week!

Mel 🦋

This website provides a platform to understand the benefits of Earthing the body and the opportunity to buy genuine Clint Ober Earthing products.

Whether you're lucky enough to be on holiday right now or (kind of) enjoying our rather reluctant British summer at home, I urge you to make a daily habit of reconnecting to Mother Earth.

I keep banging on about how tremenduously helpful to our health the practice of grounding can be... most people have never heard of it and yet it's so simple! Barefoot contact with the Earth is my top recommendation and it's Free!

Apart from drinking clean, structured water and eating fresh, organic food, I don't know of a more basic yet impactful way to support your health at all levels!

To watch a documentary on grounding or to explore how you can ground even while indoors, I recommend going to www.earthingrevolution.co.uk/JDVooi
