About me.

A' Grazen Thyme is born from my deep passion for seasonal living, wholefood nourishment, and creating memorable moments through food. With a vitalistic approach to nutrition and a strong commitment to sustainability, I blend farm to table Catering, Graze Table Styling, on site Retreat Cooking, and holistic education into an intentional, heart led business.

 

I’m proud to support local regenerative farmers and bring people together around beautifully curated, seasonal fare that nurtures both body and soul.

A' Grazen Thyme Graze Tables
 

I believe we eat with our eyes, nothing is more enticing than a lavish A’ Grazen Thyme graze table abundantly styled with premium selections of the finest local cheeses & cured meats, intentionally paired with seasonal local (organic) produce, and mindfully turned into dips, pickles and marinates in house. In fact, most items are house made including my crackers & pita crisps.

 

My individual & personalised grazing design will be a captivating center piece that will elegantly express your special event, and most importantly enjoyed by all your guest, leaving long lasting impressions.

A' Grazen Thyme Farm to Table Catering

With over 20 years in catering and events, my journey began beside my chef mum at Laura’s Catering Service, where I learned the value of food made with heart and integrity. Today, I specialise in farm to table catering, creating nourishing, home style meals using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.

 

I’m passionate about sustainability, regenerative farming, and cooking from scratch, free from additives, preservatives, and ultra processed ingredients. I create personalised menus tailored to your event theme, budget, and dietary needs. Whether it's an intimate gathering or a special occasion, my approach is heartfelt, grounded, and guided by the natural rhythms and seasons.

A' Grazen Thyme Retreat Catering

As a Wellness Retreat Chef, I am deeply committed to the power of whole foods in their natural form. I emphasize the importance of eating seasonally, with ingredients sourced from local growers who prioritize sustainability and regenerative agriculture. By aligning with earths natural rhythms, we reconnect with the seasons' unique bounties, fostering a deeper sense of well being that is essential for healing and nourishment.

 

My journey is rooted in the belief that the food we consume is not just fuel for the body, but a vital connection to the land, the changing seasons, and the cycles of life. Through creating vibrant, seasonal menus, I strive to nourish the mind, body, and spirit, promoting a holistic approach to wellness perfectly complementing the unique energy and goals of your retreat.

Functional Nutritional Coaching & Workshops

Welcome to Functional Nutritional Cooking Workshops where we Reconnect with real nourishment.

Our bodies are innately intelligent. When we give them the right tools, they know how to regulate, heal, and thrive. These workshops are fun, interactive, and empowering, providing the foundational knowledge and kitchen confidence to start your own journey toward vibrant health.
True vitality comes from real ingredients, grown with care, prepared with intention, and rooted in tradition. My workshops are designed to help you rediscover that kind of nourishment: food that supports your hormones, nurtures your gut microbiome, sharpens your mental clarity, and brings joy back into the kitchen.

Whether you’re a beginner or looking to reconnect with ancestral foodways, these small group, in person workshops offer hands on experience with whole food cooking. We’ll explore fermentation, broths, ancient grains, and regenerative meats, always using seasonal menus and family friendly approaches, and always with a side of fun!
