Hey there! I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. Whether you’re joining me online, visiting one of my retreats at Mapleton on the Sunshine Coast, or coming along on an international food adventure, you’re in the right place. Wholesome Bellies is my space to share my love of plant-based food, travel, and the joy of connecting with people and culture through what’s on the table.
I started Wholesome Bellies in 2019 as a heartfelt side project during Covid, beginning with retreats where we could cook, connect, and unwind in beautiful surroundings. Shortly after, I opened my own full cooking school and restaurant i Brisbane— five incredible years running classes, hosting retreats, and meeting so many wonderful people. Those years were full of laughter, creativity, and connection, and they taught me so much about community, food, and what truly matters in life.
By 2024, I felt ready to spread my wings even further. I closed the school and pivoted Wholesome Bellies into something different — taking my food experiences beyond the kitchen and into new places. That’s when I expanded and began offering international food tours, from Malaysia to Italy, with more destinations coming soon like Borneo and additional Italian adventures. It’s been such a joy to combine my love of plant-based food with my passion for travel, connection, and discovering culture through food.
“Food isn’t just what we eat, it’s how we connect, travel, and experience life.”
