So that’s it, my last fermentation workshop is nearly here. It’s a bittersweet feeling for sure. So sad to end these classes, but so proud of what I’ve achieved. My heart is full from all the experiences and amazing people I’ve met along the way.

After this, I’ll be flying to Spain solo to see my family, and then slowly start preparing for our new Australian adventure and all the exciting things that are to come.

Join us one last time to celebrate the amazing practice that is fermentation. Come gather around our table and learn how to make delicious water kefir, ginger bug and whey soda using ingredients you can find at the markets, in your pantry or your backyard.

Tuesday 18th October 17.30 - 19.30

Only a couple of tickets left. Head to @wellingtonapothecary ‘s website to book your space.

Last few days in my 30’s. Soaking it all in ☀️✨

Yesterday was a big day. Feeling tired but with a grin I can’t wipe off my face. Last night’s class was so good. I realised the class was over 45 mins after it supposed to finish 😅 - too much fun.

Thank you to everyone that came along to celebrate these last 3 years of Best Kept Health with me. And thank you @it.already.exists for the snaps and the company 📷 One more class to go…

Sun, friends and foraged treasures 🌿🌱

The smallest things are often, the ones that have the biggest impact in our lives.

Thank you @the.apothecary.spa for such an amazing, healing afternoon. They don’t lie when they say the sun is always there, shining behind the clouds. We just have to wait for that synchronicity to happen so we can see it ☀️

Grateful for the simple things 🧡

Hey, it’s me.

Due to some mental struggles I can’t seem to shake off, I’ve decided to do only 2 Gathered classes this spring instead of 4. Thank you to all the people that were already booked in for understanding, you rock.

If you want to join us and share this special time with us, bookings still open and classes are slowly filling up. Head to @wellingtonapothecary ‘s website to save your spot.

The new dates are:

🥬 SAUERKRAUT AND ALL THINGS PICKLE 🥬
20th Sept, 5.30-7.30pm @ Wellington Apothecary

🍓 WATER KEFIR AND NATURAL SODA 🍓
18th Oct, 5.30-7.30pm @ Wellington Apothecary

When the struggle is real, disconnecting from what’s not serving you and finding some time to reconnect with yourself works wonders - like staying away from social media.

To find clarity and focus, we must first empty the clutter, so I’m going into hibernation mode once again. If you have any questions about the classes, or if you want to say hi, you can message me here or at hello@bestkepthealth.co.

See you on the decluttered side! 👋🏻

I’ve been telling myself lately that, at some point soon, I’ll have to stop doing these workshops and prepare for the big move. Temporarily, but still.

The truth is, it’s bloody hard. This afternoon, seeing everyone leaving the class with bags full of ferments and a big smile on their faces reminded again, why I do what I do. These are the moments I live for and I’m actually the one that can’t stop smiling.

Today, was magic. Thank you to the amazing group of people that joined us and ate all my kimchi - I’m so glad you had fun. I can’t wait to see what all those delicious kimchis and condiments will become.

And thank you @foodenvy_nz for everything, you guys have been amazing and you have the best kitchen! I’m so lucky to have been part of that space since day one and to see it grow and transform into the gem that is now ❤️

We are taking a break in August. See you in September :)
