Meet Your Coach
Mel, the founder of RISE, is a fully qualified Personal Trainer, Pre & Post Natal Specialist Coach, Nutritionist (general population and Sports nutrition), Health & Wellness Coach/Nutritional Counsellor, and Human Movement Specialist. With a background in Psychology, Mel specializes in high-end, fully customized programming for the general population. She believes that empowerment through education is paramount in all programming, and is dedicated to helping you make stronger, better, and healthier decisions.
Mel's own fitness journey started late in life. She was once a notorious yo-yo dieter, always signing up to the latest workout challenge. After the birth of her last baby, she was determined to lose the weight fast and signed up to an 8-week challenge. Although the weight fell off, she was left feeling starved, cranky, tired, and worst of all, she destroyed her hormones, resulting in amenorrhea. Mel realized that she couldn't keep going and gradually began eating "normal foods" again. Of course, over the next six months, she managed to gain back all of the weight and then some!
Fast forward a year, and something finally snapped. Mel decided to join her local gym and got herself a personal trainer. She gradually gained confidence in the gym, in the weights room, and not only lost 20kg in 6 months, but gained so much strength. Her newfound passion for fitness was ignited, and she knew that she needed to help others who are in the same vicious cycle that she was in for so long. Mel educated herself on counting macros and nutrition, watched hundreds of hours of exercise form videos online, and then finally became a registered Personal Trainer, Accredited Nutritionist, Health & Wellness Coach, Human Movement Specialist, and Pre & Post Natal Specialist Coach.

Empowerment Through Education
At RISE, we believe that empowerment through education is key to making stronger, better, and healthier decisions. We are dedicated to helping you understand the why behind your goals, and to help you make sustainable changes that will benefit you physically and emotionally.
We are not about quick fixes or fad diets. We are about educating our clients to be able to make stronger, better, and healthier decisions that will not only affect you physically but also emotionally. More often than not, it is the mental battle that keeps us from achieving our goals - the constant internal dialogue that fights you every step of the way - whether your nemesis is food or exercise. We will not only help you to achieve your physical goals but we will also help you to really delve into the why.
