Outside the Clinic

Outside of work, Melissa loves staying active and making the most of her downtime. She enjoys spending time at the beach, whether it’s for a swim, a run, or just to relax. Pilates is both a passion and a practice for her, helping her stay strong and balanced. She also plays mixed netball and has a bit of a guilty pleasure for shopping—because there’s no such thing as too many clothes!
