MEL WIGAN

With over six years of in-clinic experience, I bring a seasoned, practical, and deeply compassionate approach to the GAPS Nutritional Protocol. My mission is to support individuals and families to find a version of GAPS that fits their life—not the other way around. My journey into health began as a mum seeking answers for my children's wellness, and evolved into a vocation grounded in curiosity, study, and a holistic philosophy of care. I now guide clients through the complex terrain of gut health with a focus on balance, sustainability, and the “whole person.” I walk this path alongside my clients, currently navigating my own journey through perimenopause with the same curiosity, compassion, and whole-body support I bring to my work. I understand firsthand the importance of flexible, realistic protocols that honour the season of life you're in. In my practice, food is only one part of the puzzle. I work with clients to explore the broader foundations of health—emotional wellbeing, nervous system regulation, rest, connection, purpose, and compassionate self-care. These are the daily rhythms that build lasting wellness. When I’m not supporting clients, you’ll likely find me in the kitchen experimenting with nourishing recipes, with my nose in a book, enjoying sunshine and beach walks, or moving my body with Pilates. Whether you're navigating chronic symptoms, starting fresh, or looking for a more realistic path to healing, I’m here to support you with targeted, thoughtful GAPS guidance and a whole-person perspective.
