As a Functional Nutrition Academy Graduate I have taken my first group through the First Steps to Change program, implemented a First Steps to Cultured Foods workshop and have a second one lined up as a part of a community building project run through a library.
The skills and knowledge I have gained throughout the 12 modules have provided me with the foundation to help people to make sustainable steps, creating changes in their lives to begin to look at what food really is, to question everything that goes in and on their bodies and be empowered to take back the drivers seat in their lives. I feel that I am now equipped to take the confusion out of what really is “healthy”, how to start making changes and to look for individualised eating and lifestyle plans to boost energy, improve sleep and manage our stress levels.
With my Education background I can’t wait to change the audience that I am teaching and help to increase the health and performance of our nation. It all begins with one change and a desire for more.
Loving you, loving me

It is a phenomenon for humans to find novelty and newness inspiring. This `temporal interruption` of the daily drudge inspires us to change our life, but you can change your life in any way and any time you want. You have the power over your own life, not the flip of a calendar.
You may think the food you ate or the way you lived five years ago should not have an effect on how you live now, but unfortunately the body is too clever for that. This is one reason why consistency of good habits and good health is even more important than perfection or fad diets.
Foraging is an amazing skill that many people should learn for a variety of reasons. Have you had much experience with `living off the land`?
You`ve probably been thinking about or trying to meet your New Year`s Resolutions. Before you commit (for a month) to going to the gym 5 times a week, learn more about how exercise impacts you at this phase of your life.
It`s happening! For those of our community who live on the Sunshine Coast, or are able to travel from South-East Queensland, Cyndi will be talking in the library. Join her at this amazing real food workshop at any of the dates and libraries outlined in the post. Book your ticket via the link in our bio.

Did you know grounding works on concrete, too? With that knowledge, there`s no excuse to miss out on this amazing rejuvenating practice.
From us to you, we hope you`ve had a great 2025 and will have a great 2026!
Hey everyone, we`ll be taking a short break over the next couple weeks. You`ll see Cyndi here again from the 5th of January! You can still enrol in any courses during this time, and if you send any inquiries through we will get back to you, though we appreciate your patience if there`s a delay!
