From the very first page you can feel love, in abundance, for the reader The Goddess Revolution focuses on all areas of health, but almost prioritizes emotional and mental health which is what sets it apart from other health books.

NATHALIE EMMANUEL, ACTRESS, HOLLYOAKS, GAME OF THRONES AND FAST & FURIOUS 7

I simply ADORE Mels approach. This is a woman who actually GETS what its like to have an up-and-down relationship with your body, who has struggled with and OVERCOME emotional eating and self-sabotage, and who is also incredibly open about her experience.

KAT LOTERZO, AUTHOR, SPEAKER AND SUCCESS MENTOR FOR KICKASS WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS

Mel is so incredibly inspiring I really believe this book will help so many women such a special book, written so beautifully, that could really change your life!

HELEN FLANAGAN, CORONATION STREET ACTRESS AND REALITY STAR

Mel bravely shares with us her personal battles and journey towards finding self-happiness. I cant recommend this book enough, especially if, like me, you were one of those people who let diets and the way you look control your day-to-day life.

ASHLEY JAMES, PRESENTER, MODEL AND STAR OF MADE IN CHELSEA

The Goddess Revolution makes you feel youre not alone with your thoughts about weight, body image or acceptance! Its about learning to love who you are and not to under- or overeat. Weve all had the not eating and then the bingeing that follows its learning to find that balance and this book shows you that its not impossible to do.

LAUREN GOODGER, MODEL AND STAR OF THE ONLY WAY IS ESSEX

Ive known Mel for nearly 10 years. What I find most beautiful about her work is her desire to help others lead a happy, healthy life. She is so full of positive energy that anyone lucky enough to meet her or be around her is touched by her light! Im so excited to read a book that I know has been a labour of love and will change so many womens lives
