Lover and Advocate for the Real Food and Chemical Free Lifestyle

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

I am the founder and Co Director of MGO. I was originally just a passionate self taught cook who loved to play with healthy food and nourish as many of my friends and family as possible. Cooking my way into peoples hearts (including my mans) pretty much describes how I operated.I started My Goodness Organics from the teeny tiny totally retro kitchen of my grandmothers house with 3 customers whilst still working full time. Now I have a team of awesome cooks (4 girls and 1 very lonely guy ☺) and an amazing business nourishing people all around Melbourne. I get to do it with my amazing man Warren too.  Even back in high school I was making the best damn salad rolls for all my mates in an effort to see them ditch the hot jam doughnuts and sausage rolls from the Canteen.  I even paid a friend $2 to eat a tomato because she’d never had one!My Dad was selling Usana Vitamins at the time and this combined with being heavily involved in dance and athletics made me pretty interested in health and all things nutrition.I’ve worked in a multitude of different hospitality related jobs, my last one being a Franchise Consultant for believe it or not.....Subway, for get this...7 long, arduous years. I felt my soul slipping away every day I worked for that company BUT it was a massive instigator for what I’m doing today. For that I’m incredibly grateful.I hated watching all these customers walk into those stores thinking that they were eating healthy. I really hated watching parents bring their kids into the stores and load them up with subs, soft drinks and cookies. I knew I wanted to do something with food and health but didn’t know where to start.  When a friend asked me to help get her and her mum off Lite n Easy by cooking for them, I just did it. Before I knew it, I had a business and a vision.
