Mel Scaffidi is a clinical naturopath based in Byron Bay, working with clients across Australia via telehealth.

With over a decade of experience in the health industry, Mel's background spans private clinical practice, pharmacy, practitioner education, acute consultations. dispensary management, product development, category management, technical writing and retreat facilitation.

Mel is particularly interested in fatigue and burnout, post-viral recovery, ADHD and cognitive health, child and adolescent wellbeing, and the often-overlooked factors that can influence how people feel, think and function day to day.

Her approach combines nutritional and herbal medicine, functional testing and evidence-informed healthcare to identify potential drivers of symptoms and create meaningful, sustainable improvements in health.

Rather than chasing symptoms in isolation, Mel works to understand the broader picture, helping clients connect the dots between their health history, physiology, lifestyle and current concerns.

Her clinical interests are shaped by health concerns that are often overlooked, misunderstood or attributed solely to stress, despite having a significant impact on daily life. She is passionate about helping clients better understand the factors influencing their health and developing practical, evidence-informed strategies to support long-term wellbeing.

Above all, recommendations are designed to be practical, achievable and tailored to the individual.
