About

Hayley has three decades of experience in the catering industry and over the past 15 years has specialised in retreat catering. She skilfully weaves her background as a Yoga, Qi Gong and Movement practitioner/teacher together into everything that is created in the kitchen, approaching cooking as a mindfulness practice that elevates the act of cooking to a sacred level of detail and attention.

​

Hayley is also a passionate student of Food Energetics and works with Five Element philosophy to bring a subtlety of balance and connection that nourishes mind, body and spirit, aligns with seasonal rhythms, and that celebrates the land, local environment and its producers.
