MELISSA KOVACEVIC 

Hi there!

I am so glad you have arrived here! Here is a little about me...

​

I am a wife, mother of two beautiful babies, I was born and raised in Canberra, I am of Croatian heritage and the founder of Functional Health Canberra and The Seed Cycle. My mission is to educate and inspire others to live an optimal healthy lifestyle. I am not about fads, low calorie or restrictive diets but believes in nourishing our body with delicious nutrient dense whole foods. 

​

My journey...

​

Years of failed weight loss diets sparked my initial interest in nutrition. I was confused and wanted to end my own personal struggles with health and weight.

​

This led me to commence studies as a hobby, and while studying my fascination for nutrition grew. The more I studied, the more my perspective shifted,

​

I NO LONGER LOOKED AT FOOD AS THE ENEMY BUT RATHER A WAY TO CARE AND NOURISH MY BODY.

​

As my mind and body transformed, I could sense that my family and friends respected my knowledge and advice, I became a source of information to them.

 

Nutrition and health quickly became more than just a hobby, it was my true passion and something that I wanted to pursue into the future.

 

BUT...it was only after the birth of my daughter Isabella, that I finally developed the confidence to turn my passion into a career. (You made me fearless baby girl xx) 

​

Functional Health Canberra really came together when I combined a functional approach to nutrition with EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). 

 

This was because I found that an isolated approach to nutrition was generally not sufficient for many people; as was the case in my own personal circumstances.

 

There is a resistance many people faced when it comes to nutrition and making healthy choices. This resistance can be due to a number of different factors including stress, limiting self-beliefs and negative behavioural patterns or habits; for which EFT is extremely effective.

 

Combining the two has been my winning formula to help people achieve and maintain their health goals. I would love to share it with you through my Real Food Freedom Program and The Seed Cycle.
