My name is Melanie Herzog and I’m originally from Switzerland. After obtaining my qualification in Business Administration and Commerce, I traveled the globe and lived in Spain and New Zealand before permanently settling in Australia in 2001. It wasn’t until a few years later that I was introduced to Kinesiology. At the time I was in a vulnerable state, feeling heartbroken and alone in a foreign country, battling bouts of depression. Kinesiology turned my life around. I found joy in my personal life and confidence and success in my career in the corporate sector. After having a family on my own and continuing to work, feeling stressed and overwhelmed became the norm, which affected my relationships. The daily struggles manifested into anxiety and insomnia as well as chronic back pain. I was working hard at hiding it and thought I did an excellent job. A decade ago my body gave me a clear sign to end the ‘coping mechanism’, as I ended up with pneumonia and was emotionally burnt out. That’s when I re-discovered the magic of Kinesiology and decided to study it. Over the course of my studies, a painful but liberating journey inward began and I realised that the most important relationship in life was the relationship with myself. I slowly reconnected with myself, acknowledged my needs and trusted my inner voice and the signals of my body. Eventually, I made the choice to give up my corporate career and follow my dream to support other people’s wellness journey. I have always been fascinated by how the body works and over the years, I have come to understand that the mind and body are one. Every symptom we experience is our body trying to get our attention. Often, we ignore it until we reach breaking point or we may just opt for a quick fix to alleviate the symptom. Do we really address the core issue? Why is this happening in the first place? What is the symptom trying to tell us? This is where I come in by helping you understand the WHY and getting to the root cause. Is it physical? Is it emotional? Is it a biochemical issue? Is it a nervous system dysregulation?

My passion is to help people reconnect with themselves and empower them to live a fulfilling and joyous life, free from anxiety. I currently offer Holistic Kinesiology, EFT Tapping, Life Coaching, Counselling , Access Bars®, the Emotion Code®, the Body Code® and PSYCH-K®.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. Now that my two boys are teenagers, life looks a little different, but they still keep me on my toes in their own unique ways.

I feel incredibly grateful to have an amazing circle of women in my life. With much of my family living overseas, these friendships have become like family to me. Their love, support and laughter have been such an important part of my journey and are a beautiful reminder of the healing power of genuine connection.

I love being in nature, especially by the beach, where I feel most grounded. You’ll also often find me enjoying Pilates, yin yoga, meditation and breathwork - practices that help me stay connected, calm and present. I also love travelling, discovering new places, and connecting with people from different cultures and backgrounds, as I believe every connection offers an opportunity to learn and grow.

Giving back to the community is also important to me, and I regularly volunteer my time. Over the years, I’ve been involved in a range of community projects and organisations, including the Cancer Council, the Salvation Army, the Literacy Buddy Program, and serving as Secretary and Committee Member of my local OOSH. These experiences have further strengthened my passion for supporting people and creating positive change within my community.

I look forward to meeting YOU soon.

Big Love,
Melanie xx
