My Journey to health

My inspiration, Passions and Philosophy

Like every voyage, my journey to health has involved the occasional setback, but also moments when the wind has been at my back and the sun on my face (topping up my vitamin D levels!). I was lucky enough to grow up on a farm, surrounded by a loving family and - in particular – strong women who loved to cook and prepare food. I’ve travelled overseas, especially in the USA, in search of answers to my own health questions. At the same time, I slowly learned that most of the information I needed was instinctively inside me.

At the same time, I slowly learned that most of the information I needed was instinctively inside me. I’ve met some incredible guides along the way, and also taken some wrong turns. But then I’ve learned from each mistake, and soon found my way again – more determined than ever. Founding and running Leafy Greens Café has been a wonderful learning curve, and brought me into contact with more amazing people.

I’ve come to realise that I enjoy sharing health and wellness advice with people just as much as I enjoy sharing incredible, fresh, organic flavours with them through the Leafy Greens kitchen. This has helped me to understand that being healthy and having more energy helps me give back even more to other people, and to inspire them on their own journeys.

Antonia's Top Tips

I’ve learned that it’s not always easy to take care of just one person (myself). But now that I’m a new mom, I have a little human in my life (with a brand-new immune system) who’s totally dependent on me for [his/her] health and wellbeing.
