The Team

I'm Anita, a lifestyle medicine health coach, nutritionist, cafe owner and cooking teacher..   I began my health career when I started researching about how food might help my mother recover from a debilitating disease.  I couldn't believe what I stumbled across. When I witnessed my mother recover,  I became passionate about helping  people feel better and even regain their life back or have the best chance of avoiding disease, no matter what their age.  Since then I've completed four certificates in nutrition and as a former school teacher I've been able to teach people how to get the most out of their life by adopting healthy eating plans and great lifestyle habits that they are excited about.   I am the founder of a 6 day health immersion program  that incorporated a team of doctors, nutritionists and dieticians.   Together we ran over 12 immersion programs and helped hundreds of people transform their health and their life. 

 I also run Complete Health Improvement programs ,cooking workshops and information days.   And when I'm not coaching or running the cafe, I like to spend time with my horses or ride a wave on my board. I can help you feel better and find a life that you are excited about too.

I coach people in how to transform their wellbeing by relating primarily to diet and also the other areas of life. I've done training in, taught and worked in personal, community and climate & ecological health formally and informally for the last 36 years.  I have trained to deliver the Complete Health Improvement Course, Permaculture Design & Teaching and NIA Technique - A powerful fusion of dance, martial arts, and mindfulness practices, and a holistic movement & wellness practice addressing each aspect of your life - body, mind, and soul. I taught this for 7 years. I also trained with Meditation teachers who also taught me yoga, movement and nutrition for over 3 decades and done many other courses in personal development and empowerment.

I have been interested in the power of nutrition since growing up in a family where there was a stark contrast in the health of each parent and their daily practices and where my Mother and my grandmother changed our diet to cater to the health requests of my Father. During the six years my Mother was in aged care I researched what was possible and powerfully advocated for her resulting in the reversal of her type 2 diabetes in one month through dietary change alone, acknowledged by her doctor. I ran an event for over 100 people called Transition To A Plant Rich Diet with a doctor, a nutritionist and a dietician panel, a banquet and cooking demonstrations.

I am a Reiki and Massage Therapist. I incorporate a blend of Relaxation, Indian Head and Balinese which also stimulates the lymphatic System. I incorporate essential oils and crystals which amplifies the benefits, resulting in a unique healing experience... that of physical, emotional and spiritual. I apply pressure according to each individuals needs, so you are fully indulged in every sense. Whether Reiki or Massage, my focus is on channeling energy into the patient to activate the natural healing process.
