With more of us living in cities, it is time to rethink all the elements of how we build and redevelop our urban and suburban environments. Our ethos is that more effort should be given to creating liveable neighbourhoods. We are fervent about transforming the way people experience life in cities. At Rethinking Cities Ltd. we are passionate advocates of sustainable living, and have helped individuals, communities and corporations to realise sustainable opportunities and to modify their lifestyles and practices.

Mel Sutton is Director and founder of Rethinking City Living.

Her interest in a holistic approach to health began in the early 1980’s when she managed Peppercorns, a health food shop in Hampstead, London. Here her knowledge on diet and a passion for organic foods began. She has always turned to essential oils, homeopathic and herbal remedies and a good diet for a healthy and joyful life. She trained as a homeopath in 1999 with The Lakeland College and has since continued to expand her learning and knowledge. She completed an Aromatherapy Diploma with Neal’s Yard in 2008 and use oils to assist health, balance and harmony.

Mel uses a variety of skills to help clients move through difficult and challenging times in life. The catalyst for a consultation is often physical. “Physical symptoms mirror where the spirit is out of alignment with our true self and are gifts for change.” Sessions with Mel offer insight into our unique journey and an understanding and respect of our individuality.

"As my understanding of energy medicine has grown I have expanded my sessions with clients into what I believe to be a complete holistic experience. I am an advocate of Yoga and practice daily. It is through this I gain insight into myself and find the stillness required when working with clients within the stresses of city life. I work with wisdom, compassion and knowledge to enable clients to gain an understanding of their health issues."
