Breaking into Corporate Wellness: How Melanie Flood Turned Her Passion into Paid Success

Have you been wondering how to break into the world of Corporate Wellness? You’re not alone — and Melanie Flood’s inspiring journey shows exactly what’s possible when you have the right tools and support.

Melanie is a Nutritional Therapist and Health Coach who trained at CNM in London. Like many practitioners, she was looking to grow her client base and felt drawn to the corporate world — a space where wellbeing services are increasingly in demand.

Just over a year into her practice, Melanie joined Zest4life and enrolled in the Success in Corporate Wellness course. She brought with her a corporate background as a former careers consultant, where she had organised employer events and worked closely with HR departments. With her new qualifications and passion for health, she knew she could make a positive impact in the corporate world.

In her former role she dealt with lots of HR departments and she has utilised these contacts to break into the Corporate Wellness world, but it was a simple conversation with her husband that opened an exciting door that enabled her corporate work to really take off.

Melanie’s husband worked at a large international insurance firm. He forwarded Melanie’s offering to a woman in the company’s menopause support group who passed it on to the right team — and suddenly, Melanie’s corporate wellness work took off. Listen as she explains the story to Ann Garry.

From One Talk to Global Reach

"My new contact has been great. She took part in the sugar free challenge, and then joined a paid gut transformation programme that I was running. While she was doing that we spoke about doing a paid session for the company’s menopause support group which has about a thousand women in it around the world. I did it via Zoom during women’s health week and had about two hundred people on the call.

As part of my contract with them, I did the talk, provided them with an e-book (again using the Zest resources so it didn’t take me long at all to put together) and ran the sugar-free challenge for the organisation the following week. That was great because I had about 60 people sign up, I had some really lovely feedback from it and she was happy for me to promote other courses that I was running, my 1-2-1 work too.

It’s been great to have it as a springboard to other paid things that I’m offering. I’m running a happy hormones group programme soon and I will be able to email details to these new people on my mailing list as well. One of my goals this year was to build my mailing list, and everyone that downloaded the e-book or signed up for the sugar-free challenge is now on it. I think I got about 130 new people in May!

I was doing Zest Mentor Antonia Maguire’s Corporate Masterclasses at the same time that this was all happening, so it was really helpful to be able to ask questions and share experiences with other Zest members.

Most recently, as a spin-off from the menopause talk I’m doing another talk with the same company. They have another group called ‘Men as Allies’ which is focused on supporting gender equality within the organisation. Along with a men’s health GP, I’m going to be speaking on the subject of the andropause, and how to support it with nutrition. I’m really looking forward to it, and once again I’ve used resources from Zest. Although I’m not running a programme for men, I’m hoping that I might get some discovery calls for 1-2-1 work off the back of it, and boost my mailing list again!"
