Melissa Tohlakai is a Wholistic Health Practitioner and her show will be exploring health topics from her perspective as an herbalist and nutritionist, her life off-grid, and personal experiences from a failed medical system that led her to a passion of helping others take back control and ownership of their health without the use of drugs.

Melissa Tohlakai is a Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner holding qualifications in Herbal Medicine, Naturopathy, Nutritional Medicine, Clinical Nutrition and Equine Science. For over a decade she has been helping people walk the natural path towards health and self-healing through an individualised approach that is centred in compassion and care. One of her passions is supporting and empowering women through the menopause transition naturally, without medications or hormone replacement.

In 2019 Melissa left behind her Australian home, family, and practice, gave away most of her belongings, and began a new life on the Navajo Nation with her Native American husband. During the pandemic she supported the local community pro bono when people started appearing on her doorstep asking for help. 

Melissa takes a natural approach to life, she is self-building her own off-grid home, growing food and herbs, and embracing simplicity and a low impact lifestyle amongst nature. Sharing her knowledge with others and inspiring them to take back their power and ownership of their health is her mission.
