reacquaint
with your
wholeness
Kia Ora, My name is Linda
I wholeheartedly welcome you here, to our chapter together.
You are made of earth and spirit, and your body, this earthly vessel – is yours to care for, to explore with and to fully inhabit. As each day dawns, the opportunity emerges once again to align with your most vital meaningful life, to experience new and deeper ways of relating to yourself, to others and to the world around you.
Together we will fortify a more loving connection with your whole being, the ways of nourishment and the wisdom of the earth.
I honour you for leaning in here and acknowledge the courageous path you have carved thus far. It is a blessing to stand beside you and to guide you – as you continue your journey home to reacquaint with your wholeness.
May your magic and medicine meet you gently on your life walk, always and in all ways.
Ngā mihi me te aroha nui

MEET LINDA
Nutritionist * Mentor * Educator * Chef
Linda has been deeply immersed in the culinary, health and healing arts for over 20 years. She is a passionate advocate for earth’s medicine and heart centred living.
Having distilled her knowledge and shaping her own unique blend of modalities and philosophy’s that facilitate reconnection, nurturance, and healing, Linda weaves together the nourishing traditions of our ancestors with modern science, food medicine, spirituality, and earth wisdom - guiding you to better understand the language of your body and the nourishing ingredients for physical and emotional healing.
Linda brings deep medicine to her work and to the people that she tends to. She creates a potent space where we can feel nourished and supported. I have a complex food intolerance and often feel that it’s a burden on retreats. Linda not only accommodated that and made me feel at ease but she also taught me how to eat in a way that is supportive for me. She teaches about the medicine in foods and the medicine in the earth. I highly recommend her for any retreat, she brings such a beautiful energy that supports healing and transformation.
Rebecca Natasha, Deep Ecology & Trauma Release Retreat Facilitator
Linda’s work is exceptional on all levels. The passion and joy in which she creates and offers her art of wholesome food, connection to planet, people and produce and the heart is inspiring and contagious. I have loved working with Linda, supporting her on retreat, learning from her teachings, and especially loved eating her delicious healthy creations.Her wisdom and experience is a lifetime’s worth, she has so much depth, beauty and wellness on all levels to share and i am so deeply grateful to know her, grow from her and laugh with her. Linda’s offering is abundant, holistic and encapsulates the nourishment of food and lifestyle in a way that truly honours life.
Amy Devani, Hearts Wide Open Retreat Angel and Participant
Linda is an exceptional human with a passion to shift the paradigm around food and health. Her sessions are grounded in knowledge, intuition, presence and devotion. She keeps me on track and invites me to go to places where I feel uncomfortable or shame. With Linda’s support, I feel inspired by food, curious about my relationship to my body and am choosing new beliefs to receive support and nourishment from life. She is a game changer for anyone who wants a guide that has lived experience, walks with compassion and knows the power of transformation.

Linda is a fundamental facet of our team, within which she caters at our bi-monthly retreats. The goodness Linda gathers into her nourishing bowls is potent and healing, and key to the success of our retreats. Besides her deeply nourishing foods, Linda offers a solid, heart felt and clear presence we all find restorative and grounding. When in need of nourishing connection Linda is ever available and open to attune to the needs of the wider group, caring for us all from her deep earth mumma soul. Whether it’s through her nourishing bowls, emotional presence, poetry or song (which she lovingly shares), Linda’s commitment to nourishing people is deeply felt. Working with Linda feels seamless: she is organised, clear in her communication, able to ascertain and pre-empt our needs, and a fun being to co-create menus with. Highly recommended!
Pedro Campiao, Deep Ecology & Trauma Release Retreat
What an incredible journey, diving deeply into the many layers of wellness and healing that encompass a return to wholeness. This is one of the most informative and supportive containers I have experienced and highly recommend Linda as a mentor and guide for anyone who is either beginning the journey, or for those looking to explore wellness on a deeper and wholistic level.
Suzanne Willson, 1:1 Client
Taste is just one element of food, and when it comes to Linda’s meals, she delivers deeply in many elements. The nourishment, taste, textures, and the love behind every meal, is beyond belief. I’ve had the privilege to eat (eat doesn’t even come close to the experience) Linda’s food, and every time, I’m blown away by the effort and love in all of the preparation. I’ve heard that the energy from those who are preparing your meal impacts the food. I’ve never really had a tangible experience of this, but after eating Linda’s food, I now understand what that means. You can taste the care put into every ingredient.
Love her food (and her)!
Luke Kennedy, Sachamama Sound Retreat Participant
I highly recommend all of Nourishing Ways services!
I first met Linda when I was enjoying her amazing, nutritious and heartful food on a retreat, she is a wonderfully gifted chef and caterer.
I got talking to her about her food philosophy and some chronic physical health issues and weight gain I was experiencing. Her knowledge and empathetic and generous nature inspired me to work with her to heal my body and relationship with food through a food is medicine approach.
Linda’s deeply supportive and comprehensive understanding of the root causes of my issues and her knowledge of nutrition and how to incorporate enjoyable changes gently and sustainably into my busy life were invaluable. She also lovingly worked with me to overcome addiction ,resistance and trauma to heal holistically and establish long term results, vitality and love for my body again through nourishment , education and kindness. Linda’s presence, integrity, wisdom and depth of knowledge have made a lifelong difference to my health , happiness and wellbeing. I am forever grateful for the compassionate support Linda provided through her 1:1 mentoring container. Linda facilitated the transformation of lifelong negative beliefs, patterns of behaviour and eating habits in a holistic way that was collaborative, unique and individualised to my needs to reclaim my good health and life fulfilment!
It is the best investment I’ve ever made in myself!
Katrina Ross, 1:1 Client
Linda’s wholesome and exquisite meals were seriously one of the highlights of the retreat. Not only was it the healthiest menu I’ve ever eaten, it was also the most delicious. Her creativity and craftsmanship in the kitchen has inspired me to continue such ideas in my own kitchen; what a gift – Thank you Linda!”
Jenny Mac, Self Mastery Retreat Participant
“Lahla is hands-down the best caterer I’ve come across. She meets the retreat experience with a range of understanding and mastery I haven’t yet found in any other caterer on the East Coast. The meals she curates are not only crazy delicious, but you can also actually feel the love and reverence as you eat them! Clear eyes, tingling taste buds and happy digestive systems are GO. Lahla’s nutritional expertise is next-level, which she generously shares with participants to expand their wellness journey; she deeply understands the needs of facilitators and plays a beautifully supportive role in the smooth running of the retreat. AND, she’s a delight to be around! She adds this gorgeous warm quality that is a balm to everyone who comes into her presence in the kitchen. Whenever I book Lahla in for a retreat my nervous system relaxes, knowing participants are in for a premier catering experience – she’s basically a foodie slam-dunk. I can’t recommend her enough!”
