Strong foundations. Sustainable growth.
Whether you’re starting from scratch, starting over, or ready to scale – every stage has the same need: strategic clarity and the right foundations. Like the keystone in an arch, the right strategic foundations hold everything else in place – so marketing feels coherent, growth feels purposeful, and scaling feels achievable.
I work with health and wellness businesses that are ready to grow – bringing strategic clarity, genuine industry understanding, and the kind of thinking that makes growth feel less like guesswork and more like a plan.
I work with health and wellness businesses to:
Diagnose what’s holding growth back – identifying the real problems, not just the symptoms
Build strategic clarity – around positioning, messaging, offer, and where to focus for the biggest impact
Align marketing activity – ensuring campaigns, content, and channels are connected, coherent, and working toward the right goals
Create foundations for sustainable growth – so marketing drives consistent, predictable results
I work in partnership with founders, GMs, and marketing leads – bringing strategic clarity and practical direction to the decisions that matter most.

Melissa Smith
Founder & Growth Strategist
I’m a Strategic Marketing Consultant with 25+ years of experience, including over 10 years working within the health and wellness industry. My career began in brand strategy agencies across Australia and the UK, working with major FMCG brands including Cadbury, Unilever, and Kraft Foods. From there I trained as a naturopathic nutritional therapist and health coach, launched my own health and wellness business, then spent seven years as the marketing lead for a growing healthcare business.
This means I understand the science, the clinical language, and the commercial realities of health and wellness businesses – and I bring that understanding to every engagement.
My approach is diagnostic-first. I’ll help you identify what’s really holding your growth back and build a clear strategic direction you can move forward with confidence. Let’s connect to explore what’s possible for your business.
