I'm Melissa Woodward, a passionate Women's Health Coach, and Remedial Massage Therapist, Podcast Host and Multi-Award Winning Entrepreneur.
With a size inclusive, non-diet and body positive approach to women's health, I aim to support women to heal their relationship with food, exercise, and their bodies. Located in Dubbo, NSW, I am the proud mum of two boys aged 6 and 11, which adds a personal touch to my understanding of the unique needs and challenges that women and mothers face in caring for their health.
Throughout my career, I've acquire a range of qualifications including Remedial Massage, Personal Training, Nutrition & Dietetics, Pregnancy and Post Natal Coaching, and more. My approach is unlike the typical Personal Trainer, leading me to coin the term Women's Health Coach. To me, this title signifies a holistic guide tailored to understanding the unique needs of women, embracing a realistic, step-by-step approach to enhance their health.
I've also been the co-host of over 35 episodes of the Empowered Women's Health Podcast with Erin Bailey, where we delve into insightful discussions about all aspects of women's health, empowering them with information to advocate for their own health.
I'm the founder of the Dubbo Women's Business Network alongside Kate Astill. A networking community for local women to build relationships, business connections and find opportunities to elevate their business.
