Testimonials

After struggling for many years to lose weight and unsuccessfully trying every diet and eating plan going around, I decided to get real in my attempts to lose weight and improve my health and I knew that the person to help me would be Mel.

Being a busy Mother herself, Mel understands how difficult it can be to juggle daily life, work and a family. Mel was able to put together a nutrition plan to suit my lifestyle and tastes. There are no gimmicks, no unnecessary supplements and no fad diets with Mel. Just straight forward, easy to prepare food based on solid science and no fuss, healthy eating. And it works!

With Mel’s advice I found that the number on the scales has been steadily dropping and I have much more energy and feel so much better within myself. Mel is genuinely passionate about helping her clients achieve their goals and offers continual support and guidance without judgement. I cannot recommend Mel’s services highly enough to any person seeking nutritional advice and guidance and I look forward to continuing my journey with her support.

I met Melissa of Nourish with Zest at our local triathlon club. Nutrition was something I hadn’t put much thought into when racing but Mel provided me a detailed eating plan when preparing for my first Olympic distance triathlon.

Mel’s guidance was vital on race day to maintaining my energy levels and staying hydrated.

Recently I was run down and sick and Mel aided a quick recovery by giving me comprehensive advice to build my immune system, including what vitamins to take and recipes for smoothies the whole family have been enjoying ever since.

I would highly recommend Mel for any sporting, children or general dietary requirements. I have always found her knowledge extensive in all these areas.

Melissa has been assisting me with my triathlon preparation with both training and nutrition advice. I have been doing sprint distance triathlons for a number of years but recently stepped up to Olympic distance. I found the increase in both training and nutritional requirements was beyond my ability.

Thankfully with Melissa’s help I was able to transition smoothly and perform far better than I had hoped.

Melissa’s passion and knowledge is contagious and she has an amazing ability to adapt individual needs to a plan that is both realistic and achievable.

I have no hesitation in recommending Melissa.

Angela M, Bolwarra - Triathlete & Mother of 3, Performance Nutrition - Triathlon
After we both decided to make some changes in our life with introducing regular exercise and changing our diet we knew we needed some guidance with our diet.

As we both work full time and Jon being a shift worker we found Mel was accommodating & flexible. After sitting down with Mel and explaining what we were after we were each given a tailored nutrition plan according to our requirements.

Mel then followed up with us in the days and weeks after to find out how we were traveling and if the plan needed adjusting.

Jon lost over 4kg in 5 weeks and 8cm off his belly & Karen lost over 2kg. The weight is still coming off and we are feeling energized and enthusiastic.

We have found Mel to be professional, friendly, supportive, approachable and very helpful and would recommend Mel to anyone wanting to make healthier choices regarding their diet. Thanks for all your help Mel!!

Mel has been working with me with my cycling for a couple of years now. She has given me fantastic advice in relation to general nutrition as well as a more specific nutrition plan for before, during and after my races.

With my races being anywhere up to 240 kilometres long, a good nutrition plan is essential and Mel’s plans are well thought out and effective.

Mel’s plans have definitely made a noticeable improvement in my performance on the bike as well as my recovery afterwards.

I would highly recommend Mel to anybody seeking advice on nutrition plans and what nutritional supplements are best for you.

NSW State Masters road champion (2014); Podium finisher for State Masters Individual Road Time Trials (2011, 2012, 2014); 2nd in Gunnedah to Tamworth Road Race in open field (2012, 2014).

Brett J, Maitland, Performance Nutrition - Cycling
I am a 41 year old mother of three and decided a couple of years ago to get into Triathlons. In November last year I completed my first Olympic distance triathlon. In the lead up to this event I was fortunate enough to be in contact with Mel from ‘Nourish with Zest’ who provided me with an eating plan to help me with my preparation. Prior to this I hadn’t given the food side of things a second thought.

With the help and guidance of Mel I was able to perform at my best. The eating plan was tailored to my particular needs (especially likes & dislikes) and Mel’s support throughout the lead up to this event was invaluable and inspirational.

I would highly recommend ‘Nourish with Zest’ to anyone that may need some help with their next big event.
