About the creator, Naturopath Georgia Harding
In a nutshell…
Hello, I’m Georgia Harding, the heart, soul and mind behind this blog which has evolved from a life long love of creating meals from delicious, whole foods, along with my many years in clinical practice, lecturing students and presenting on talk back radio.
I hope to be able to help and guide you to develop sustainable habits to help you to cook and eat well for many years to come (and hopefully pass those habits onto your family too).
I’m unashamedly a foodie and spend a LOT of time thinking about food! My recipes have been featured on JamieOliver.com, FoodMatters.com and I also contribute recipes to Wellbeing EatWell magazine. Every week, I share fresh food and health inspiration on my blog – SUBSCRIBE to have new recipes and healthy inspiration delivered to your inbox (plus a gorgeous Guilt-free Chocolate ebook) – it’s FREE!
Here’s a little bit about me…
I am a Naturopath, freestyle cook, and mother of two divine children (my daughter who is 14 years old and my son who is 11 years old). Also wife to a fine food loving husband.
I have 20+ years of Naturopathic experience, treating and mentoring patients on matters of health and wellness. This blog is my commitment to further share my passion and knowledge of health, food and healing.
I love to grow, source and prepare food to feed my family and friends well. I’m not a chef, so when I create recipes I aim to make them as nourishing, delicious and fool-proof as possible to prepare and cook…and with as few dishes as possible as I’m the one doing the washing-up!
I also love to travel and enjoy cultural food experiences. Holidays are always centred around adventure, relaxation and fabulous food.
I live in a beautiful patch of paradise in Queensland, Australia. When I look out the windows of my home, I see nature in all its glory and I feel truly blessed.
When it comes to food, there’s not much I haven’t explored – The 80’s, like many teenagers, was my drunk and junk phase. The 90’s vegan, vegetarian, food combining to name a few. The next decade became a real challenge when I not only had to feed myself but two hungry children and a husband. At this point I re-examined the fundamentals of eating, nutrition and health. Consuming a variety of fresh, whole food and delicious moments shared with family and friends is now my food focus.
Through my own health challenges, I have lived and learned. In my lifetime I’ve successfully overcome a childhood cardiac disorder and recovered from an autoimmune thyroid disease (Graves) as an adult. These experiences have shaped my commitment to wellness. I currently live a very well balanced life, blessed with good health and abundance. I try to never to take this for granted.
My inspirations include my darling Nan, who patiently spent many hours teaching me to cook, encouraging me to create my very own chocolate coconut cake and write it in her recipe notebook (which I still have to this day). My mum developed my appreciation of health and healing with whole foods. My husband has taught me balance in life.
Finally my children who’ve taught me to navigate the world of lunch boxes and who eagerly devour my every creation in the kitchen (even the not so good ones). They are both exceptionally healthy and I like to keep it that way. My family motivates me to strive to nourish the world in every way I know how.
Change begins with you as an individual but ultimately shapes your family, shapes your world. I believe that without good health there’s not much else. The effects of improving your health are far reaching – I look forward to sharing the journey.
PS – you can learn more about how I came to become a Naturopath (way back when) and why I decided to leave my clinical practice and develop Well Nourished here.
My photographs
I am very much a novice photographer and I only really discovered I could take photos of food when I started my blog in 2013. I really enjoy getting creative with my camera (though I only manage to capture lovely images of things that don’t move). Try as I will, photos of kids and pets are just not my forté!
I hope I do my food recipes justice and all recipe photos, unless stipulated, are my own.
