✨ From London kitchens to wellness retreats ✨
Ever found yourself at a crossroads in life and career? That’s exactly where this journey began.

Years spent cooking in London’s fine dining scene slowly gave way to deeper questions about health, balance, and purpose. A growing curiosity about food as medicine led to holistic nutrition, personal healing, and a complete change in direction.

If you are curious about how food and holistic health can reshape both life and career, this story is for you.

💫Unlock the Healing Power of Food & Holistic Wellness!
We believe true health is created when food, lifestyle, and inner awareness work together. This January, we’re inviting you to explore that connection in depth through a live online course led by our principal, Oliver Cowmeadow.

Beginning Tuesday 27th January (7–9pm UK time), this three-part evening course offers a grounded, practical introduction to Holistic Nutritional Therapy, drawing on over four decades of experience in macrobiotics, Oriental medicine, mindfulness, and emotional wellbeing.

Across three sessions, we’ll explore:
✨ How health unfolds across multiple dimensions of life
✨ Using everyday food choices to restore balance and vitality
✨ Gentle Do-In practices to support energy, circulation, and calm
✨ Lifestyle approaches that strengthen resilience and wellbeing
✨ Emotional awareness as a pathway to healing and clarity
✨ Ways to reconnect with inner guidance, purpose, and ease
Whether you’re beginning your holistic health journey or deepening your professional practice, this course offers tools you can apply immediately - both personally and in your work with others.
