A consummate healthy foodie, Judy Davie founded The Food Coach, a personal training service in healthy eating in 2001 when she recognised that despite the literature available on nutrition, people were increasingly confused over how they should eat and cooking skills were being lost. A self trained cook, Judy studied psychology, macrobiotic cooking and Food as Medicine and draws on the skills of others to provide this comprehensive site on food and nutrition. She is passionate about inspiring people to improve their eating habits and learn that healthy food does taste great.

Author and co author of three books; The Food Coach, Read the Label, and Star Foods, Judy also writes for Body + Soul, www.womansday.com, and contributes in other health publications, radio and TV. She is also an enthusiastic and engaging presenter to corporate and community groups.

Her popular "swap this for that" cooking classes show people how to enjoy favourite foods without compromising their health.

Judy's expanding web video collection was developed to teach people how to cook healthy food.

If you have a healthy food product you would like to showcase in a cooking video collection or want to book Judy for a presentation contact her directly.

Jock Gammon has been passionate about our natural environment since a young boy. Hence a move to landscaping some 6 years ago was a natural step for him and one that he has not looked back from since. While providing Jock an opportunity to help create wonderful outdoor spaces for his clients, directing his own landscaping company has allowed Jock also to incorporate his passion for sustainability into his work. Green Rooms is the only prominent landscaping practice in Sydney with a true green focus and offers strong expertise in areas of sustainable landscaping, vegetable gardens and green walls and roofs.

In addition to its private residential clients, Green Rooms is also involved in helping the community by offering its expertise to community and school projects. The company’s core fundamentals reflect very much of those of Jock’s personal ones and include operating in an environmentally and socially conscious manner while creating top notch landscapes for its clients. It holds itself responsible for educating people about sustainable choices available to them and emphasises that a stunning look for an outdoor space need not to be compromised by taking such choices but that this time you can have the cake and eat it all!
