Client Testimonials
“I had the good fortune of stumbling across Sam Gowing and her “wise ways” back in 2002, when she gave me a jolly-good dose of both Pilates and “food as medicine” advice. Since then, whenever I’m run down, flat out, over-roasted, or in need to some professional “energy support”, she is the one I call. She always sets me back on the path to good health, and manages to do so in a way that makes food sexy, and exercise delightful.
She has a big heart, and this makes her the real deal. I love her way.”
Clare Bowditch, Singer/Songwriter/Storybaker

Patient Testimonial
“Sam Gowing is one gutsy angel. She has freed me from years of gut aches, bloating and bad breath which was at times capable of killing entire GM canola crops. She has given me a new lease of life and I feel fantastic. Her professional manner is personal and there`s no one else in the world like here. I trust and respect Sam implicitly.
Gowings Food and Health and its attendant activities is not only entirely professional but peerless. Sam is passionate, articulate, knowledgeable, energetic, enthusiastic and caring. And that laugh of hers is infectious. This is one case where cloning would be acceptable to me because the world needs people like her”
