Catering Charlotte provides lovingly prepared vegetarian foods for yoga retreats and functions at very reasonable prices. “The support, nourishment and warmth Charlotte’s cooking provided was invaluable.

Her balanced and heartfelt creation of flavours and textures were the perfect reward at the end of a challenging day’s work. I left inspired with ideas of wholesome foods” - Sophie (recent retreat participant)

About Charlotte:

Charlotte has been a practicing chef since 1972 and vegetarian for the past 15 years. After beginning a career in Natural Therapies 15 years ago she began to emphasise wholefoods in her menus.

Charlotte believes that eating wholesome, lovingly prepared foods contributes greatly to our own well-being as well as that of our environment.

This leads to a more balanced life with greater health and happiness for all. Charlotte’s dedication to creating health and harmony is also expressed through her practice of Kinesiology and Zen Shiatsu.

Shiatsu:

Shiatsu is a relaxing and strengthening body therapy developed in Japan. Working along the meridian lines and acupressure points of the body, it is possible to rebalance the energy - releasing blockages and stagnation.

Shiatsu works on a deep level relaxing the body, calming the mind and balancing the flow of energy.

It is effective for the treatment and prevention of many health problems, including: back pain neck and shoulder tension stress and anxiety headaches and migraines menstrual difficulties digestive problems fatigue and other health issues.

To maintain good health, or to recover from illness, a balanced diet is essential - so nutritional counselling is given with each treatment.

Kinesiology:

The word Kinesiology (Kin-easy-ology) means the study of muscles and movement, in particular how muscles act and coordinate the body.

However, in the natural health field, the term Kinesiology is seen and used in a different way.

Here muscles become monitors of stress and imbalance within the body. "Muscle Testing", the key technique in Kinesiology, is used as an effective and versatile tool for detecting and correcting many imbalances in the body, mind and emotions.

Kinesiology is one of the fastest growing fields in natural therapies. A consultation will assist you in finding your own solutions to ongoing issues.
