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 with an incredible team is an understatement.
Fascinated by all things wellness-related.
I've always been fascinated by the human body, which led me to study nutrition at university and become a yoga instructor. Throughout years of study and self-discovery, I’ve learned that health is much broader than what you eat and how you exercise. 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 unwind after a busy day. I love to cook intuitively, usually it works out....with the odd epic fail every now and then!
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 mum of two with a passion for children's and women's health.
I am passionate about helping women, children and families achieve optimal health and wellbeing through natural therapies and medicine.
A student nutritionist.
I am currently completing a Bachelor of Health Science (Nutritional and Dietetic Medicine) and have completed an Advanced Certificate in Nutrition. These fields of study allow me to pursue my goal of becoming a Clinical Nutritionist that specialises in supporting women, children and families.
A nature lover who is committed to lifelong learning.
I am committed to lifelong learning and enjoy keeping up to date and expanding my knowledge of natural medicine. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family and friends, garden, bush walk, snorkel, try new recipes and travel.
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!
