Hello!

I’m Melanie, a Melbourne‑based nutritionist, university lecturer and communications consultant passionate about making good food feel like home. My work sits at the intersection of nutrition, communication and creativity - whether I’m developing curriculum, teaching in the classroom, or sharing wholesome, seasonal recipes with my online community of more than 365k across Instagram, TikTok and Substack.

With over a decade of experience in strategic communications, digital content creation and tertiary education, I specialise in transforming complex information into clear, engaging and accessible content. I’ve worked across government, not‑for‑profit, FMCG and allied health sectors, producing evidence‑based communication that meets strict accuracy, accessibility and governance standards. My background in print, radio and television has strengthened my ability to design adaptable, audience‑focused materials across multiple media.

Alongside my academic and consulting work, I am the author of two nutrition‑focused cookbooks.

All of that to say, I’m a big believe in effective communication not only being about what you say, but how you say it, and I’m always ready to help you do so!
