Hi, I’m Mel!
I’m a Registered Clinical Nutritionist and the founder of Oleve Health, passionate about helping women navigate hormonal health challenges including endometriosis, painful periods, fertility concerns, pregnancy, and perimenopause.
I want you to know you're not alone. It can feel exhausting and disheartening to sit through appointments without answers, try supplement after supplement, and wonder if you'll ever feel like yourself again. It's frustrating. It's overwhelming. And at times, it can make you want to give up on your health altogether.
I have walked my own road of pain and illness, an experience that first sparked my passion for women's health and continues to shape the way I care for every client who walks through my door. I understand the uncertainty that comes with living in a body that doesn't feel like it's working as it should. My own experience taught me the value of compassionate care, evidence-based guidance, and learning to work with my body rather than against it.
It has also given me a deep appreciation for the strength, resilience, and beauty of womanhood. Not only in our ability to bring life into the world, but in the countless ways we nurture, create, lead, and bring life to the people and spaces around us.
This is why I do what I do. Every woman deserves to feel heard, supported, and empowered in her health journey.
There is a path towards more energy, fewer symptoms, and greater confidence in your body. One that doesn't rely on extremes or perfectionism, but on steady, sustainable foundations. My approach is grounded in the basics such as nourishing whole foods, mineral repletion, sustainable lifestyle shifts, and targeted, evidence-based supplementation tailored to you.
Together, we'll focus on small, meaningful changes that build over time. I translate nutrition science into practical strategies that fit into everyday life, helping you better understand your body and feel empowered to make choices that support your health for years to come. It would be my honour and privilege to walk this road with you.
With you in the beauty and challenges of womanhood,

About Oleve
The name Oleve is simply a combination of the words olive and eve. I have always been drawn to olive trees and what they represent; they are slow-growing, resilient, enduring, and abundant in fruit.
Olives themselves hold a beautiful symbolism for the many seasons of a woman’s health journey. They are crushed and pressed, seemingly broken apart, yet the end result is olive oil, something far more refined and valuable than the original fruit.
For every woman walking through hardship, long health journeys, or seasons that feel heavy and uncertain, Oleve is a reminder not to give up. In the crushing and the pressing, resilience, strength, wisdom, and endurance are being formed.
You are not alone. Keep walking step by step, one day at a time, towards brighter days, and a future filled with hope.
