A workshop with friends and family in the comfort of your own home.

This format is fun and relaxed, and provides an intimate opportunity to learn the art of fermenting surrounded by those you love. A small group of friends and/or family have a workshop based in the kitchen or other suitable area of the home of one of the participants. It’s up to you how many people are involved based on what is comfortable for you and your environment. Dates and times are flexible, and at your convenience.

Post-workshop support via phone or email included

4 hours

Small workshop flat rate $300, plus $35 per head on top of the workshop fee. So for a 4 person workshop, facilitated within 30 minutes of Coffs Harbour*, the total price will be $440 ($300 + 4 x $35), and a six person workshop would be $510.

*$30 for each additional part of 30 minutes travel time.

In the standard workshop we make sauerkraut, kimchi, beet kvass, and Indian lime pickle. We also look at tonic drink ferments using cultures, and everyone receives the cultures to take home with them, along with the ferments they have made.

Workshops can be be tailored to suit experience, skill level, and individual needs or interests.

Examples include:

• fermenting to assist with specific conditions (e.g. auto-immune)

• fermenting for child health

• slow-fermented sourdough and gluten free baking

• comprehensive alcohol fermentation techniques

I come to your home or workplace for a one on one consultation to address specific fermentation issues. For example, you may want me to go through the process of making creamy probiotic rich milk kefir, or you could be having trouble with your pickles, or sauerkraut, or sourdough. Prices for simple consultations that will take an hour start at $55. Complex or combined procedures that take more time are open to negotiation – you tell me what you want, we discuss timeframes and logistics, and then agree on a price.

How many of us realise that our food contains a greater and more diverse range of “natraceuticals”, or plant-derived bioactives, than do any pharmaceutical drugs? In fact, many drugs are derived from (or are synthesized versions of) compounds originally discovered in plant foods. Fermentation of natraceuticals enhances their beneficial effects, as well as providing us with essential probiotic bacteria, digestive enzymes and amino acids. This is what we mean when we say “functional food”, and when we get to know our ingredients, the natural synergies of vegetables, herbs and spices can be harnessed to further increase the beneficial effects they have within our bodies.

Celestial Roots offers an integrated and holistic approach encompassing body, mind and spirit. In keeping with the Celestial Roots vision of personal empowerment, I am not going to tell you what to do to achieve positive changes in your life – you are the one who will decide what is right for you. What I will do is provide a nurturing and supportive environment in which I will introduce you to concepts, tools, and information (both conventional and unconventional) about health, diet and lifestyle that will help you on your journey to better health.

We will look at current dietary and lifestyle choices to discover areas that would benefit from the introduction or avoidance of individual foods, emotional patterns, thought forms, or habits. We will consider the quality of the foods we all eat, the residual nature and effects of the chemicals and practices used in modern agriculture, and the all-pervading influence of environmental toxins on our health and well-being. Together, we will work to devise strategies to make positive changes where we can, and to minimise risk and exposure where we can’t. Where appropriate, we may address counterproductive energetic or emotional blockages in depth, and we may decide together that reflexology or body energy/chakra balancing work would be beneficial.

I will gladly consult or liaise with any healthcare professional you nominate, and where I deem appropriate, I may refer you to other professionals. Consultations are $75 for an hour session, but the initial consultation fee is $125.

All consultations are undertaken in the strictest confidence, and no details will ever be disclosed to a third party unless your prior consent has been given.How many of us realise that our food contains a greater and more diverse range of “natraceuticals”, or plant-derived bioactives, than do any pharmaceutical drugs?

Consultations are $70 per hour, $100 per 90 minutes, or $120 per two hours. There will be homework for both of us, but that is included in the price.

Using the pendulum and bodily energy, the state of the chakras are assessed and balanced. Imbalances in specific chakras can be addressed using any combination of visualisation, meditation, colour therapy, sound, crystals, energy work and more. This is highly individualised work. We may work with the threefold nature of some chakras, and also explore the state of your high heart and/or nasal chakras (if you feel ready). The role of the chakras in the interplay between higher and lower dimensional consciousness and other advanced concepts can be explored once the initial ground work is done. $50 per session.

The Caduceus symbol of the medical profession is a simplified representation of the Kundalini energy system. Kundalini is a serpentine earth energy that rises from the root chakra to the crown chakra in two streams – one masculine, and one feminine. These strands intertwine, crossing over each other at the major chakras, or bodily energy centres. I have worked with risen Kundalini energy for over 20 years, and offer diverse exercises that facilitate Divine Union within. Our goal is to unite the feminine and masculine poles within the heart, to develop unconditional self-love, find the Grail within, and to access higher consciousness or higher dimensional states at will.

Kundalini work requires a healthy chakra system, and a sense of grounding, or being connected to (in touch) with the earth. I cannot facilitate Kundalini awakening until the ground work has been done.

This is such important work that it is carried out on a ‘pay what you can afford’ basis, and bartering is encouraged. All I ask is honesty.
