SCOPE OF PRACTICE

Moment Of/ | Melanie Proud

​Last updated: September 2026

What I do

I work with individuals and small groups using a person-centred, body-based approach to support health, wellbeing, and nervous system regulation. My work draws on applied breath resilience, integrative health coaching, somatic breathwork, and Compassionate Inquiry training.

As a Health & Wellness Coach and breathwork facilitator, I support clients in:

  • Developing self-awareness and self-regulation skills

  • Building sustainable lifestyle habits that support long-term wellbeing

  • Working with the breath to restore nervous system balance

  • Exploring patterns and experiences with compassion and gentle curiosity

  • Setting and working toward self-determined health and wellbeing goals

 

What I am not

I am not a doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, or registered mental health clinician. Sessions offered through Moment Of/ are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical or psychological condition.

I do not provide:

  • Medical diagnosis or treatment

  • Psychological or psychiatric therapy

  • Crisis intervention or emergency mental health support

  • Prescriptions or medical referrals

If you are currently under the care of a GP, specialist, or mental health professional, I encourage you to inform them of your participation in sessions. I am happy to work collaboratively within your broader care team where appropriate.

 

When I will refer on

In line with the HCANZA Code of Conduct, I will actively recommend you seek support from another professional when your needs fall outside my scope of practice. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Acute mental health crises

  • Active suicidal ideation

  • Conditions requiring medical diagnosis or treatment

  • Situations where another modality would better serve your needs

I do not offer crisis response. If you require immediate support please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or attend your nearest emergency department.

​

Confidentiality

What we discuss in sessions is confidential within legal and ethical limits. There are circumstances where confidentiality may not be maintained:

  • Where there is risk of harm to you or others

  • Where a child is at risk of abuse or neglect

  • Where records are subpoenaed by a court of law

 

Professional standards

I practice in accordance with the HCANZA Code of Conduct and Scope of Practice, and the ethical frameworks of all professional bodies to which I hold membership or registration.
