If that's you, you're in the right place.

You deserve support that looks at the bigger picture, helps you make sense of what's going on behind the myriad of symptoms, and gives you practical steps forward that actually fit into your life & make sense for you.

Women's Health clinical nutritionist Adelaide Melinda Docking

I'm a tertiary-qualified Clinical Nutritionist passionate about helping women better understand their bodies and navigate each stage of life with confidence.

Whether you're living with endometriosis, struggling with painful periods, thinking about having a baby, journeying through pregnancy, trying to survive perimenopause, or simply wanting support navigating the ebbs and flows of your menstrual cycle (pun absolutely intended), I'm here to support you.

My goal is to make nutrition feel practical, achievable, and relevant to your life. Together, we'll work to uncover the factors influencing your health, create sustainable strategies that support your goals, and help you feel more informed, empowered, and at home in your body.

My role is to help you understand what's happening beneath the surface, provide guidance that feels realistic and achievable, and support you in building lasting health through every chapter of life. It would be my privilege to be in your corner, advocating for you and supporting you through all the beautiful moments and inevitable challenges that come with womanhood. We are in this together.

Personalised Nutrition, Backed by Research

Every woman is different, which is why I take an individualised approach to care.

From there, I'll develop a personalised plan that is grounded in evidence and designed to fit into your everyday life.

That's why I focus on education, sustainable habits, and personalised support, so you feel empowered to care for your health long after our time together.
