Unparalelled help with your Nutrition

Dietitians know about food and health and can translate the latest scientific information about nutrition into sound practical advice about what to eat.

Unlike the wide array of programmes and products in the market place, Dietitians are not trying to sell you a package, supplements, prepared meals or even a network marketing deal. Wendy’s or Faye’s assessment of your needs, development of a programme and nutritional plan will be specific to your needs and formulated to help you succeed in reaching you health and wellbeing goals.

Join the Man Walk Busselton on Monday 21st September to hear Mathew Mumme (Youth worker in both Australia and the USA) discuss his work and the complex issue of fatherlessness.
Interesting article on the topic by John Anderson (Prior Deputy Prime Minister) published in The Australian Newspaper earlier this month.

Black lives matter... fathers matter too - John Anderson

Black Lives Matters as a movement has played fast and loose with the facts regarding police brutality. It's the absence of Dads that is the real problem.

Wettest Man Walk to date on Monday. Deceptive blue sky at the outset but no visibility of the cape and a rainbow was a give away for what was in store. Well done to the 13 blokes that braved the conditions. Cleared up and air dried by the time we were back at the Goose to hear from the Man Walk community founder Mark Burns via Zoom from Kiama in NSW. Great to hear about the history of the movement and aspirations to bring Man Walks to all local government areas in Australia. Good aspiration, but they may not have heard that we still have 140 odd local government areas in WA so the challenge is on!
