The most amazing feeling is when I’ve been working with a client and they start seeing benefits from the changes they’ve made - whether that’s having more energy, better gut health, lower blood sugar or cholesterol levels, gaining control over their emotional eating, or their clothes fitting more comfortably. It’s even better when the changes are sustainable ones that they feel like they can keep doing for life! - Suzannah People often approach me with a long list of things they dislike, or can’t do. My day at work is made when the magic in self-belief come out of the client!

What do you enjoy most about your business (or being a woman in business)? I really enjoy being a part of a small business here in the Barossa as it has introduced me to some wonderful and like minded people. I have found inspiration from those who we are surrounded by which has encouraged me and given me the confidence to give things a go and implement new ideas to the company. I also love the team we have created and really enjoy working with the people I do each day. Do you have a motto or goal that you strive towards? Always believe in yourself and own your mistakes, the best thing about maybe not getting right the first time means that we can do it better the next.
