Melina Nicolaides is a Women’s Health and Nutrition Coach specialising in hormone health, with a focus on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Her journey began at sixteen, when she was prescribed the pill to manage elevated androgen levels - a temporary fix that led to years of painful periods, cystic acne and the exhausting cycle of restrictive dieting and overexercising. In 2020, she was formally diagnosed with PCOS and told she was infertile. Convinced there had to be a better way, Melina turned to lifestyle medicine and completed her Nutrition Coaching Certification through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Within six months, her cycles normalised, her skin cleared, her symptoms eased and she conceived her son naturally the following year.

In 2023, she completed further training as a Women’s Health Coach through the Integrative Women’s Health Institute- the only National Board Certified programme focussed solely on women’s health. Today, she combines professional expertise with lived experience to help women restore hormonal balance, improve metabolic health, reclaim their energy and quality of life.
