I’ve been mentoring health practitioners, cafe owners and chefs for over five years professionally. One of the biggest issues they collectively face is how to price their product effectively. In particular, health practitioners are a shy mob when it comes to billing and they find it challenging to charge their true worth. So let’s take […]
If you’ve ever been self-employed in the healing arts or other creative health pursuit then you’ll probably agree that one of the biggest hurdles is knowing not what to charge, but how – and when. The path of the freelance health and wellness consultant is paved with good intentions, manifestation and hope, however hope does not pay the bills. If […]
Originally posted 17/8/2017 A myriad of claims feed contemporary society that clean eating can make you live longer, decrease cancer risk, or boost energy.

First published 2/2/2017 Back in my nutrition student days, circa 2000, I used to jest that it was all uptox-downtox, retox-detox. Primarily because I was still living in Melbourne and hanging with the nicest, if not the wildest people! Our late night antics seemed as though they went for days. A hangover from my former life as […]
When you live in a tourist town it is easy to take the landmarks for granted. When it comes to cooking, you’re only as good as your last dish, or for the diner it’s the memory of what you recently ate and where. Think about the last café or restaurant meal you visited and then […]
Thanks to the MasterChef effect, the consumer desire for transparency of ingredients, mandatory country of origin labelling laws in Australia, and a genuine desire to understand the provenance of our food, hands on cooking classes have never been more popular. Whether you’re a TV watching enthusiastic apprentice in the baking, a great home cook or […]
An excerpt from my book The Healing Feeling first published 2012. My voyage across the nourishing waters toward the healing arts began when I was a teenager.

Surprisingly, it’s almost three years since I wrote this blog post, which means I have been a member of the melting set who thrive in the hot room for just as long. Time flies when you’re burning up.

A road less travelled The old girl from Ongerup half-choked on a yabby at my confession. Wide eyed, jaw on the floor, she sat by the 40 gallon drum fire in outback Australia. Speechless. A silence so awkward that anyone would think I’d confessed to have been Charles Manson’s wing man. Her hubby shuffled up joyfully […]
In the glorious greenhouse that is my life, there are a bounty of friendships that plant, bloom, harvest or go to seed, just like the cycle of life.

Function, Fad or Fashion – How to turn your scepticism into belief when it comes to healthy eating. The thing about common sense is that it’s not very common. Take Michael Pollan’s healthy dose of wisdom, ”Eat food, not too much, mostly plants”, for example. It couldn’t be more straightforward yet year after year the […]

In through the out door Finding the right mindset to write this little piece of peace has been a challenge until I found myself with a loose end. Be warned, the next few paragraphs might be filled with more bad jokes and a rare teaspoon of crass. Oh, and you will need to pass me a swear jar. […]

As an award-winning publican, I know a thing or two about hangovers, how to create them and better still, how to fix them.

Authentic Tourism The authenticity of a tourism destination relies on multifaceted elements including the landscape, historical magnetism of the area, socio-economic, environmental and cultural or spiritual experiences on offer.

In 2010 I was lucky enough to train with Paul Pitchford, author of Healing with Whole Foods who declares that sea vegetables and seaweeds are the highest plant source of minerals.

IT’S a phrase that’s been popularised in advertising for a motoring product.

Whilst the imminent peril of international biological war surrounds us daily, another, almost silent, biochemical warfare has been bubbling for some time.
