I am...
Passionate about food & wine.
So much so, I created a 20-year strong career from this passion, before moving to manage Floralia Wellness.
Committed.
Committed to service and your experience. Having come from hospitality, where impeccable customer experience is paramount, I aim to ensure your wellness experience with the Floralia team is honest, meaningful, and impeccable.
A father and husband.
Father of two healthy and very busy school kids and husband of our founder, Angela Hywood. To the men out there, I’ve done the men’s preconception health program twice over!
Dedicated.
Dedicated to a growing wellness medicine business that really makes a difference in people’s lives. Wellness medicine is the way of the future. We help people realise their dreams of optimal health and help couples create healthy happy families. That feels great.
I am...
Forever curious.
There is a concept I learned during my yoga teacher training derived from Zen Buddhism called “Shoshin”, it is the concept of having a beginner’s mindset. Remaining open and eager, without preconceptions, to the world around you. I believe we can learn so much from each other, the natural world and even our own bodies if we stay open and curious.
A naturopath student.
My passion for health and wellbeing have been guiding principles in my life and I am so excited to be turning my passion into a career. I love helping people thrive.
Passionate about the environment.
I spend a lot of time outdoors, whether it is camping, practicing yoga in the sun, surfing, sailing or hiking, I love connecting with nature. It is from this place of connection I have become passionate about protecting our beautiful planet by reducing waste and making conscious decisions.
I am...
Guided by my curiosity.
I love learning new things and I try to approach everything in my life as a student first. I was thrilled when the opportunity came up for me to be part of the team at Floralia. Being immersed in so many areas of the business always keeps things interesting and I’m forever learning. Saying I'm lucky to work in a such a beautiful space alongside an incredible team is an understatement.
Fascinated by all things wellness-related.
My fascination with the human body inspired me to study nutrition at university and then become a yoga instructor. Throughout years of study and self-discovery, my definition of of health has expanded greatly. To me, wellness truly is an inside job!
Passionate about creating.
I love combining my passion for nutrition and health through content creation and recipe development. From a young age I loved being in the kitchen, it's where I love to unwind with my husband and daughter after a busy day.
I am...
An American-born Aussie.
Although I’ve developed a bit of a hybrid accent, I am originally from San Diego, California. While studying abroad here in Perth for my bachelor’s in Biology, I fell in love with the beaches, the kangaroos, and most importantly, my now husband.
A student naturopath.
The love and attraction I have to exploring natural ways of healing has led me to this degree. I hope to one day extend my knowledge and support to others on their holistic journey.
A sucker for the outdoors.
Anything that involves adventures in the elements, I am there. Growing up as an only child, I was my dad's little mini-me. He taught me how to surf, snowboard, wakeboard, camp, and so much more, which I still enjoy today.
I am...
A former nurse now studying naturopathy.
My nursing experience provided a solid foundation in compassionate, patient-centered care and sparked a passion for a holistic approach to health by treating the whole person rather than just symptoms. This inspired me to pursue naturopathy, where I can blend clinical knowledge with natural therapies to support wellbeing and empower others.
A skincare enthusiast.
Probably with more products than I need! I love exploring natural, gentle ways to keep skin healthy and glowing, and finding joy in the rituals that connect self-care with overall wellness.
Naturally curious and open-minded.
I enjoy hearing different perspectives and ideas that deepen my knowledge and broaden my understanding of natural health and wellness. Though I am not yet practicing clinically, this ongoing learning fuels my excitement to contribute meaningfully to the field in the future.
I am...
A student naturopath.
Helping others has always brought me the most fulfillment in life. I studied my Diploma of Nursing during my final two years of high school in regional WA, and very early on into this career, I realised that I could combine my passions with my sheer desire to help others, which saw me move to Perth, to study my BHSc in Nutritional and Dietetic Medicine, and now post – graduate studies in Naturopathy.
A lover of routine.
It has always been a huge priority of mine to nourish my mind, body, and soul. I thrive in a busy lifestyle, so it is really important that I do my best to stick to routine, to keep me both grounded and sane. Whether that be my super dramatic night-time routine, or my non-negotiable croissant on a Sunday morning, it all plays a role in keeping me in check and helps with my daily performance.
A textbook libra.
Whether you’re into star - signs or not, I can confidently say I am the definition of a libra. I am social, witty, inquisitive, a great listener, a conflict avoider, and an absolute sucker for aesthetics – aren’t I lucky to work in such a beautiful space!
