Meet Melissa Delport – Holistic Health Coach, Private Chef, Photographer, and Author
Hi, I’m Melissa—a photographer, cookbook author, private chef, intuitive holistic health coach, and retreat facilitator. I live in London, UK, and have a true passion for good food, wellness, travel, and capturing moments with my camera. If you love food, health, adventure, and a touch of joy, you’re in the right place! Here, you’ll find recipes, reviews, stories, and information on exciting upcoming retreats.
This is my space to blend the magic of food with wellness. Discovering mindful eating transformed my life, and I strive to nourish my body with fresh, real food. I’ve even captured my journey in two cookbooks, which you can explore here!
What I Do
I work with restaurants, accommodations, and inspiring brands as a photographer, health coach, food stylist, and influencer. If you’re interested in collaborating, I’d love to connect. However, please note that I only share work I’ve created—I don’t host press releases or other people’s work on my site. If you're looking for a professional photographer, food stylist, or private chef for boutique events or retreats, you’ve come to the right place.
If you see sponsored content on my blog, it’s noted for transparency. I only promote brands I genuinely love and believe in. My recipes are tried and tested, passed down through generations, or perfected in my own kitchen. On my blog, you’ll find delicious recipes, wonderful restaurants, and top travel destinations that I truly enjoy—no negativity, just a focus on what shines!
Be sure to visit my retreats tab, and reach out if you have questions. My retreats are open to anyone ready to expand their life with kindness and growth. They’re truly transformative and life-changing.
My Message
Life, like my kitchen, can be a bit messy at times. I sometimes make meals that don’t turn out perfectly, but I’m okay with that—it keeps me grounded. I come from a long line of home cooks and want to share my experiences, mishaps, and triumphs to support others on their own cooking journey. I believe in honest, simple food that makes people ask for seconds. Fresh, local, and organic ingredients are my go-to whenever possible.
Beyond the kitchen, I’m passionate about healing through mindfulness, which I bring into my retreats, coaching, and events. If you’re looking to work through personal barriers to become your happiest self, explore my offerings to see if something resonates with you.
I also love exploring new places whenever I can. Whether it’s a trip around the corner or across the globe, I share my adventures on my blog to give you tips on great places to visit and dine. My experiences are my own, and I hope they offer inspiration for your own journeys.

Always Remember: Make memories, make love, and make food, whatever the season.
