Naturopathic Nutrition Consultations

1:1 naturopathy consultations with a food-first approach

Are you an individual or retreat organiser passionate about embracing the healing power of natural whole foods?

As a Naturopath and Retreat Chef I combine the art of cooking with the science of wellness to create food that promotes a sense of wellbeing and nourishment from within. Using seasonal, organic, locally-sourced and wholefood ingredients menus are individually designed based on your needs.

Our Mission:

My mission is to help people improve their health by connecting with the healing aspects of food for their body, mind and soul. I want all individuals to feel that health-supportive nourishing cooking is both achievable and enjoyable. Learn to love the food that loves you back.

Hi, I'm Susan,

Wholefood chef and Naturopath

I'm all about using food as medicine and creating amazing dishes that celebrate natural, wholefood goodness, with a plant-forward approach. In addition to being a qualified Naturopath, I have worked as a resident chef at Billabong Retreat and private yoga retreats catering for 10 to 50 participants. I bring more than 20 years of experience in the health industry to the table designing menus that are both nutrient-dense and delicious. I don't follow any particular dietary approach, I just believe in the power of real, whole foods and quality ingredients to make you feel amazing!

I love creating memorable food experiences using seasonal, organic and wholefood cooking principles to nourish and inspire others to eat more plants.

“We can align our foods to feed our health and get incredible flavour and variety all at once”

Client Love

  • "Susan's food is nutritious, full of flavour and a delight to the eyes. I love how everything works together as a whole, but all dishes can also be enjoyed on their own, which works well for a range of guests. You can see the joy and thought that goes into everything she does."

    Sandra - General Manager. Billabong Retreat

  • "I just want to express how much I loved your food! What you do with vegetables is on another planet - you were able to make food so delicious and also still be so good for you."

    Basia - Yoga & Meditation Teacher

  • "Working with Susan truly changed my life, and I don’t say that lightly! She opened my eyes to how wonderfully fun and delicious health supportive cooking can be. I’m most appreciative of how much time she spent teaching me as we worked together—going above and beyond to answer all my questions. From cooking in my apartment to providing meal plans, planning my family’s holiday menus—she does it all. I’m now a personal chef, and I can truly say I owe it all to Susan! "

    Madeleine

  • "Susan has been amazing in restoring and supporting my health. I have found the personalised herbal mix she makes for me outstanding. It supports my nervous system perfectly and allows me to function at my best, even in stressful times. I highly recommend Susan, she is a very talented Naturopath and her care for her clients shines through."
