What You Will Learn Through Coaching Services
Gaias Organic Gardens Workshops
In a world where the future is uncertain and money is tight for most of us, it helps to prepare ourselves to live self-sustainability as best as we can.
Learning how to grow your own food for minimal cost is now becoming an essential skill that everyone should have. You will learn how to turn scraps that you would normally throw away back into nourishing and tasty food.
You’ll also learn harvesting and seed saving tips. These lessons will also help you to get maximum yields from your vegetable patches.
This workshop is suitable for beginners or more advanced gardeners, and even you black thumbs out there!
Would you like to learn how to make some nutritionally dense delicious foods, high in probiotics, from scratch in your own kitchen? Save money and improve your health by making your own sauerkraut, kefir, coconut yogurt and Kombucha tea packed full of body balancing probiotics.
Oh and best of all free taste testers of everything we make are included in the workshop price.
From my delicious lime balm coconut yogurt with blueberry syrup and hemp seed crumble to the sauerkraut and kefir, we’ll take you on a journey of taste sensory overload! So, what are you waiting for? Book your spot now on our Fermenting class with a difference.
Are you sick and tired of all the harmful, toxic ingredients that are put into our beauty products? Not to mention how over-priced they are and the fact that beauty products are tested on animals! What if I told you its 100% possible to move away from conventional beauty products? That’s right you can.
By using simple ingredients and plants that you can grow you can create your own perfectly safe, perfectly nourishing and perfectly edible beauty and hair products.
After all, your skin is the biggest organ of your body and with its huge absorption power you really should only put ONTO your body something that’s safe to put INTO your body!
In all my workshops I will also be providing a light lunch of delicious nutritionally dense superfoods, incorporating things I can grow at home in my kitchen or garden.

Carla has also been interviewed on radio several times and is currently filming something very exciting… and secret! In fact, you could say growing something new is Carla’s forte.
She has a swagful of qualifications from horticulture, to business, to marketing, and practices Reiki, meditation, and a range of other healing work.
