cooking class & workshop testimonials
“The Ningxia Red workshop was incredible. I couldn’t wait for my order so I went to Bulkam Hills to YL HQ to get Ninhxia so I could made the vinaigrette, gummies and mocktail and had such a lovely time the lady there gave me all these things too like a wooden box to store my oils some samples… the generosity is unmatched! Also randomly the night of your workshop was the best night sleep I’ve had in months! I slept solidly woke up refreshed and didn’t wake like usual and I honestly attribute that to the Ningxia and oils I had that day.”
“Just want to say this has been the year of ‘Soulla & Star Organic’ for me!
It all started with searches online to tweak my existing broth making. Then it was your Instagram which is so so helpful. Then your recipes.
Then the casserole workshop ( I’ve made 4 since November!). Then the YLEO (which i admit, i feared was some freaky pyramid scheme) & your night & the PSK which has been transformational. They’re beautiful! Then THIS week, along with the PSK delivery, your online workshop bundle!! (I couldn’t make your earlier workshops). It’s all super & fantastic & you’re an absolute inspiration! So at risk of sounding like a crazy fan, thank you thank you!
I work in public health as an emergency social worker & i care for family with health/ageing issues so I have learnt loads from you which I’ll use forever & really wanted to convey my gratitude & say bloody well, well done! You clearly work hard & are very generous to share what you know.”
“I’ve got the bone broth, slow cook and cakes workshops. It’s literally changed the way I cook for the better. Delicious meals, super easy and my husband says I am a “great cook”. Amazing LOL.”
“Having a BIG we love Soulla morning here today. 2 ingredient banana pancake for breaky, pot of broth on & decided to try kvass with 6 & 4 yo...miss 6 loves it...master 4 didn’t want to try then we showed him how red your teeth go. Got in on the fun but not a total fan - he’s tried it, that’s the best part!
Did a slow cooked casserole on Monday - in the oven before I left for work, had time to jump on the tramp with the kids early evening whilst I steamed greens to go with it and dinner on the table with minimal fuss, minimal time for prep and max nutrient density.
Also made a lemon cake earlier in the week after Miss 6 was sad her lunchbox didn’t have cake and all those things other kids get. I was so excited to ‘healthy swap’ it and give her some cake knowing it was crap free and nourishing goodness (& the most exciting when I asked her what she wanted in her lunch box she said lemon cake 💕).
My heart explodes with gratitude almost daily for your presence in my world and your dedication to sharing your knowledge. I’m so grateful I’ve found you and your tribe as I often feel very alone in this journey but I know in my heart it’s the right one...so Soulla, I know you mentioned in a live recently you’ve got a lot going on in your life atm...if you happen to have a bad day, please stop and remind yourself what an amazing guide you are to so many of us and how eternally grateful we are for everything you do. Endless thanks to you lovely lady. There truely aren’t enough words. I hope you have a wonderful day xxx”
“Thank you so much. I am completely blown away by the wealth of information you gave me last night and I’m so excited to go on this journey and have you there for support. It is really inspiring.
Thank you also for your wonderful recipes and sharing your organ meats workshop notes with me. Very generous. I can’t wait for the day your works are published. I’m sure it is not far off”
“Dear Beautiful amazing Soulla, I just had to send this to you and let you know that I think of you with such love and extreme gratitude every time I put on a pot of broth. My children are now asking for it and I can’t get enough of it. Endless love and thanks to to you for sharing your knowledge. That bone broth workshop was the best investment ever!”
“Hi Soulla! I have just been re-reading everything from last night and sitting here amazed by your knowledge and ability to share it in such an incredible way. I cannot thank you enough. You’re just incredible and I hope one day to be able to have your level of understanding and be able to help people like you do”
“Soulla, you are amazing....your fast pace of innovative and quality goods and recommendations is overwhelming...we are loving it...and loving essential oils...have done away wth soap and moisturiser...i just use body scrub we made at your place now ....i absolutely love it....many thanx
Ps love the diffuser too..”
“I am so excited for your bone broth workshop as I got so much out of the breakfast one. I have completely got rid of all grains out of my diet, I had already over time reduced to only small portions of high quality organic grains etc but you encouraged me to take that last step and am already feeling much better. I have re introduced whole milk and kefir, as well as having way more greens, and increased my meal portions, plus being a bit more creative with my smoothies. Considering how much I was already doing that I had learnt from Jen and Anthia, I am very excited to get so much from the workshop. I have already noticed my teeth becoming less transparent, its amazing how quick things can change. I also went and did a foam roller class at your gym which was really helpful too. You are doing magical work in this world and I love it!!!! Thanks for being such and inspiration”
“I thoroughly enjoyed your breakfast workshop the other night and more importantly my daughter did too. We’ve already cooked 2 recipes which may daughter loved and asked for seconds. She hardly eats avocado but was downing it with the omelette. My eldest had the steamed greens with parmesan and pine-nuts – that was delicious! My son is loving the power bars and was downing those at 9pm last night”
“Just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much I loved your chocolate workshop on Friday…..it was so much fun and very informative and great to be a part of something that you are so passionate about :) I also wanted to let you know that I am now a complete convert to your delicious pâté and would love to be on the email alert when a new batch is in the fridge (if there is such a thing!). I’m sure you’ll see me at some future workshops and look forward to lining up when your cookbook hits the shops!”
“Hi Soulla! I just wanted to let you know how much I learned from last night. You’ve completely inspired me and can not stop researching all you talked about and incorporating and changing the way I will eat. So thank you. I was the girl in pink in the front. Totally considering bone broth now even as pescatarian. You look and live health! You should write a book!!!”
“We would like to thank you for an exceptional workshop and your valuable time after. We have learnt so much and we can’t wait to start practising your recipes. Every single one we have made on Sunday was delicious and felt extremely fresh and healthy. Our trip from NQ was worth it.”
“I found your notes from our kefir workshop and just have to say to you, how great your work and commitment is in my view. I love your blog and all the tips, have been pulling e.g. for weeks now and find it has great results! Thank you!”
“Hi Soulla, Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy life to discuss the benefits on bone broth and sharing your experience. I really enjoyed the class (as well as the nuts that i purchased) and will be awaiting eagerly for your next classes that you release. I’m trying to put into practices some of your principles and slowly going to ween myself off all of the grains that I consume on a daily basis. Thanks again!”
“Firstly want to say my partner and I have just started watching your workshops and I made my first ever broth (at the age of 52) and it turned out PERFECT. We are changing everything about how we eat - making important changes anyway - so thanks!”
“Thank you for all your daily wisdoms and authenticity 😇 I have 4 daughter in laws and I know they enjoy your education too. Take a bow Soulla you are changing the world with your love and passion 🍃 thank you”
“Your cooking class was amazing when I attended. I love your story - so powerful and brave. You played a part in inspiring me to quit an extremely stressful job which led to me realizing I had a problem with disordered eating (due to the stress) and now I work in an industry I adore and I am healing and recovering with real food (often purchased from you)! You are a genuinely good soul and an inspiration. I am grateful for the resources you share and the knowledge you provide. As well as the delicious food you produce. Thank you, truly thank you 💖🙏🏻 ”
“Soulla, your slow cooking course has revolutionised the way our family plans, prepares and enjoys meals together. On the nights when I know we will be coming in late from work or after school activities, it is so comforting to know that there is a nutritionally rich, delicious, slow cooked meal in the oven ready to eat. All it takes is 10 or 15 minutes of preparation the night before and our dinner dilemmas are solved! Our family is happier, healthier and more organised thanks to you.”
“Your advice and cooking classes have inspired me to completely transform what I eat and cook for my family in 2014. Cooking is now thoroughly enjoyable, I’ve become very passionate about the source and processing of the food, including a thirst for further knowledge on the subject. A big thank you! It’s your straight forward, easy and simple approach that really resonated with me. The wholefood journey started seriously for me after your lacto-fermentation workshop at the end of 2013. It was not an easy one to implement with the family (still a few challenges), but I knew something had changed dramatically when I came home tonight. My partner had cooked an amazing vegetable omelette for the family with a beautiful salad full of avocado, grass fed cheese, organic veggies, olive oil, apple cider vinegar etc. This would never have been the case a year ago (especially for someone who rarely cooked anything from scratch). My kids also go mad for sauerkraut, which was never the case when I first started making it. It goes to show (and I see this pattern repeatedly with my kids), you can’t give up after the first few attempts. Kids eventually acquire the taste for good whole food. They even enjoyed chicken livers cooked in butter straight out of the pan to my partners absolute horror :) I have always been one to eat really healthy (so I thought) and exercise vigorously for a few months, but it was never sustainable and would revert back to bad eating habits (a yoyo approach to a healthily lifestyle). I now never feel hungry, find it effortless to sustain my weight, and absolutely love cooking good whole food. I look forward to many more cooking classes and advice in 2015. BTW, your rice pudding recipe was a hit!””
“I just really wanted to say a big thank you to you. I’ve never had a one on one with you but I’ve been to 3 of your workshops and followed you on Instagram and your emails for about 1.5-2yrs. I’m dealing with some health issues and you have inspired me so much. I was perhaps ready to just take it all in but you have made my journey to better health invaluable. Today I was thinking about you and how grateful I am that I heard about you 2yrs ago. Thank you for being so inspiring and thank you for all your hard work. I really appreciate it and I’m sure many of your customers do.”
“Thank you very much for your bone broth workshop. There are so many things I loved about it- and about the way you run your workshops. First of all the scientific based approach as well as the emphasis on the most efficient methods (time and ingredient - wise). Lots of small details that make a difference (I.e size of pot needed, etc). And also your honest and personal approach to it - which is helpful and refreshing- as well as your passion which always inspires me to eat and cook more healthy. Finally I am really thankful that in addition to your workshops you also sell your beautiful products which make for healthy fast food for the family on days when I’ve run out of food or too busy to make from scratch”
“You are amazing!! I don’t like cooking but when I watch your stories.. I feel inspired. Your knowledge and passion is incredible. Thanks for sharing”
“Omg Soulla! So much thanks to you for the amazing morning today - totally buzzing after a catching with your incredible mind and like minded people. I always get a bit star struck when I see you in person as I’m just in awe of your knowledge and principles”
“I LOVED Saturday’s workshop. I feel like I have been opened to a new world. Have already used most of the oils in the kit. Thank you very much for having the kits available to take home (so much easier than picking up from the post office). And thank you for having me in your beautiful home”
“Thank you so much Soulla - such a generous, inspiring and delicious breakfast workshop!”
“I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed all your workshops, and how invaluable the information you gave us was. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to do them. Thank you so much”
“Thanks for the Bone Broth class on Thursday night, full of fun and inspiration. I had been intending to do a class for some time, And am thankful I finally committed, can’t wait for the next, your passion and no nonsense approach has left me extremely inspired”
“Hi Soulla, Just wanted to thank you so much for sharing your beautiful food and amazing knowledge with us tonight. I was thinking as you were speaking, being a lawyer is pretty good training - your intelligence and meticulous attention to detail was evident, and of course you are a natural and passionate presenter. I really appreciated hearing from Anthia, too. What a treat, when there is so much information and misinformation out there about healthy eating, to hear such a sensible and intelligent approach; instinctive yet backed up by science. I really appreciate it and am excited and inspired. I would love to learn more. thank you too for all the work you put into preparing the fantastic handout.”
“The most nourishing and delicious food - such clean ingredients and no seed oils in sight! My favourite lunch spot in Sydney. You’ll thank yourself for going here. ”
“Soulla, a huge thank you to both you and Lisa for a fun and informative evening. I learnt so much and will no doubt be purchasing a kit from you in the near future! I can’t get over how versatile they are and how they are such a simple and effective way to optimise every pillar of wellbeing. I left feeling very inspired!”
“I just wanted to let you know I have tried the lamb brains and scrambled eggs recipe and I love it! Your right, you can’t even taste it, if anything it just makes it thicker which isn’t a bad thing. I have been eating it for breakfast the last three days and it keeps me fuller for longer. I no longer need two lots of snacks to get me to lunch. Thanks!”
ONLINE workshop testimonials
“Soulla I just want to say your products are life changing. I honestly can never go back to just eating anything on the market. I’ve gotten my family and friends into eating bone broth and they love it and see the benefits of gut healing.”
“You are what you eat and Soulla gets this! Her work shops are the perfect mix of inspiration and information. They are well thought out and teach you to prepare nutrient dense foods that are as good for you as they taste. The chocolate coconut cake I made was absolutely delicious and perfect for my 3 year old’s birthday party. As a mum and a paediatrician I know the value of a good diet. Thank you Soulla for making it so easy!”
“Just a quick email to let you know I finally watched your Bone Broth video this morning. I really enjoyed it and I feel so fortunate to have come across you. Thank you for sharing your story and sharing your knowledge of the gift of good health. I may not be where I want to be (just yet), but I’m thankful for not being where I used to be...”
“After doing these two online workshops presented, I can not recommend them highly enough as the perfect gift of good health (Gluten Free Baked Cakes and Bone Broth)
This year the magic of the universe brought Soulla into my life and we have spent the year swapping tips about all that we are passionate about! It’s funny because it was making bone broth and fermenting that originally got me into Building Biology years ago! I have such admiration for Soulla’s integrity, knowledge and passion as well as the amazing quality produced in everything she does. That is why...if you are searching for a Christmas present for that special someone (definite brownie points and what is more important than good health?)....please look no further.
These workshops give clear and easy to follow information which you can access from the comfort of your home, great tips (even for those who have already been making bone broth and healthy cakes for years like myself), a great table format so you can use what you have, healthy swaps clearly mapped out, well researched (which will save you years of doing your own)...and it all makes sense because Soulla knows what works!!! They are the gift that keeps giving . I love and thoroughly agree with Soulla’s philosophy ~ “This is not about deprivation. This is about healthy swaps”!! These workshops are a must! Thank you for everything you do Soulla ....truly life-changing!”
“I LOVED your broth workshop. It distilled down everything that I had spent months researching from library books on brothing! So practical.”
“I’m seriously loving your online workshops - very informative, great presentation, the way you welcome me into your kitchen is amazing. The cakes all look sensational- I’m not sure which one to try first (the only thing holding me back is knowing I’m going to eat them all!). The broth workshop also amazing, I watched it then made it. Even though I’ve made broth often I’ve struggled to get the gelatinous character- not this time!!! It’s so jelly like it’s amazing you answered many questions!”
“I’ve been making bone broth for the past year in the slow cooker and on the hob, however could never get a good layer of ‘fat’ on the top. I followed your booklet instructions and bought a 10L pot, left out the vegetables, added in feet and two more organic carcasses and BINGO - best broth I’ve ever made!! I’ve made some cubes for our smoothies also. Excited. I’m delighted and ever so grateful you offered the online course. It’s already a game-changer for our family”
“Hi Soulla! Turned your choc hazelnut cake into cupcakes topped with your choc icing and some fresh organic edible flowers from my garden! Needless to say they were delicious and hit the spot! 😍😍”
“Just started this workshop last night and loving it so far. Can’t wait to try the ganache recipe for Christmas parties! I love that you have included specific Thermomix directions for each recipe where applicable so it’ll be even quicker and easier. Just what this mamma of a newborn and toddler needs”
“I’m so exited! Thanks for another brilliant online workshop I’ve watched it already while I was at the hairdresser! I’ll be preparing the Mediterranean slow cooked lamb shoulder ready for dinner tomorrow! Yum! Love listening to all your advice especially the section on why not all meat is equal! Thanks again have an awesome day!”
“Soulla, I love the online slow cook recipes and so do my children. Thank you for sharing so generously your knowledge and help create a wider consciousness about healthy traditional meals”
“We live just north of Coffs, Broth Bar was a must-visit whilst in Sydney. Love your page and all your tips and knowledge that you share. Picked up some Ningxia, chocolate, broth and some gummies.”
Health Coaching Testimonials
“Soulla, I really admire you and see you as such a mentor and inspiration and being such a strong independent woman with such great morals and values, you have helped me so much along my journey and challenges to be the best person I can be for me and my health and my daughters health so Thankyou so much. 🙏🙏🙏
Xx ”
“Soulla , it’s been nearly 10 years since I was first sitting in your lounge room & you were educating me on all the things we now live & breathe and are passing on to our future generations. There’s no better gift and I’m forever greatful for your knowledge , support & guidance 🙏🙏🙏 ”
“Hi Soulla, I’m making small progress each day. No longer breaky of banana and decaf, working toward getting rid of decaf altogether (have reduced this) and have been increasing full fat. The full fat has been hard to wrap my head around but I find when I eat more fats I snack less and the scales go down. So that is encouraging me! Most meals are cooked from home and without processed foods or too much sugar. ”
“Can I start off with saying how much I appreciate your page and star anise organic. You have truly helped me find many ways to support my health in an organic way and so much has changed for me. All the extensive research you put into the things you use for yourself has filled me with comfort knowing there are organic ways around everything. Thank you again!”
“You were the first person to really set up my Wholefoods journey and my total new way of life. We lived 5 minutes from broth bar in Bondi and your shop was my saviour during pregnancy and when I had my first baby.. and a favourite place of mine even well before having kids. Fast forward 6 years. I just had my fourth baby.”
“Feeling like we had a really successful day this end. Both kids were totally fine with the cod liver oil (so I will go and buy the capsules for me) they also liked the fish roe and I made your banana and egg pancakes (with some beef liver capsules) and they liked that too. It really brings me so much joy to provide good nutrition for the girls. Thank you so much, I’m really grateful for your advice yesterday ✨”
“Hi Soulla! I’ve been following for awhile and just wanted to say how much I love all your posts. I aspire to be like you. I’ve just had a beautiful baby girl who is now 3 months old and while I’ve always been quite health conscious, you make me want to now ask about seed oils when I dine out! It’s something I’m really trying to avoid in the home and it has been easier trying to just slowly swap things out. Thank you for doing what you do and posting the real stuff! ❤️ love and light to you”
“I have followed Soulla the last few years on social media. Her approach was different to what I was used to seeing in regards to health compared to what I had trialled in the past( vegan, veg, calorie counting etc) I began incorporating more nutrient dense foods into my diet and felt the benefits. When I was early in pregnancy, I felt called to work with Soulla in her 1:1 coaching. I am so glad I did. My body felt so fuelled during pregnancy and even post partum. Despite lack of sleep I still feel better now than I did years ago. Soulla is a wealth of knowledge and a power house at what she does. Highly recommend this incredible woman. ”
“I have been meaning to touch base with you for a few months now.
I did one on one coaching with you at the start of 2020 in preparation for my IVF journey, I was using donor eggs from my sister. Well on June the 28th I gave birth too identical twin girls, they were born at 36 weeks and 4 days and weighed a healthy 3.2 and 2.9kgs. The doctors were all shocked with how healthy they were and the fact they didn’t need to go into the nursery, I put this down to the fact that I followed your nourishing guidelines throughout the pregnancy. They are also the happiest and healthiest babies!! They love their sleep and have been so settled since the entered this world!
After the labour I had some complications and lost around 2.5 litres of blood, I had to have two blood transfusions and was told I would be sick for sometime. The very next day I was up and walking around and the doctors were again very surprised. I do believe this was all down to what I ate in the pregnancy.
The day after labour I told my partner to go home and get your bone broth, I started drinking this and I have had such an easy recovery!
Thank you for all your information and guidance. I truly believe that the reason I conceived easily, carried twins easily and recovered so quickly was because I followed what you had given me.
Now I am just excited about getting these little girls onto the broth and pate.”
“Your coaching and knowledge is seriously life changing. So grateful we crossed paths 🙏 ”
“I just love your energy, Soulla. Along with all you share, so generously. It’s educational, inspiring and empowering. Thank you so much.”
“I’ve just finished the most incredible health coaching series with Soulla from @staraniseorganic sharing her wisdom on nourishing your body and eating nutrition-dense traditional whole foods (+ lots more!)
I’ve seen a huge increase in my energy levels and am finally full after my meals instead of snacking throughout the day.
She shares so many recipes, tips and info on her IG and blog. Highly recommend!
It’s amazing the changes you can make when you invest in yourself and have someone supporting you and keeping you accountable.”
“It’s been a long time since my last coaching session with you but I just wanted to give you a massive THANK YOU and a general update on how your guidance and a traditional whole food diet has had a profound affect on me!
I first met you at a bone broth workshop in mid 2015 and since then have been making my own broths and consuming them daily. They have added such delicious-ness to every meal and slow cooking has become a real passion and joy. After my first one on one session with you I came off the pill (ding! depression instantly lifted) completely overhauled my diet and read such interesting literature about whole foods and face shapes and foetal development (I must admit, I got somewhat obsessed with childrens faces for a while there). Everything balanced out and I was feeling great, able to tackle new challenges and make some big decisions and improvements for my life. It all came really in to play these last two months though and made me really appreciate the vitality traditional eating has brought to my life.
In September I fell pregnant (my first) and in November I found out it was ectopic. In hospital I was treated twice with Methotrexate - are you familiar with it? nasty stuff. My body took it really badly, I was really sick, lost hair, blistered, felt completely deflated and the crashing hormones had my emotions all over the place. After a few weeks my kidneys failed and completely shut down, unable to process the chemotherapy anymore I ended up back in hospital to get some fluid in to me. Finally starting to feel better I headed home to NZ to see my family and as soon as I got there suffered a huge second haemorrhage and was expected to need a blood transfusion. Upon arrival the doctors couldn’t believe my bloods, I was so high in iron! How was there a scrap of folinic acid in me when I had lost litres of blood and been on a drug that obliterates folate?? LIVER! Oh my goodness I’m sure its liver that saved me! I went on a binge. As soon as I had the methotrexate I stepped up my game and started consuming liver much more frequently, i moved up from a chicken and lamb combo in my mince to a lamb and cow combo and started swallowing multiple small chunks of raw frozen cow liver every morning and it had my levels up so well that I didn’t even need a blood transfusion, the doctors were happy that I’d be able to replenish my own stores. It has really helped me get through everything knowing how to fuel my body and give it all the replenishment needed in its healing time. with all this toxic waste of a drug running around in my system, trying to rebuild my blood stores and also going through the emotions of losing a pregnancy.
So thank you Soulla, your introduction and inspiration has, quite literally, saved me...”
“I honestly cannot thank you enough for helping me by sharing your extensive knowledge, wisdom, recipes, and ideas on healthy nutrition and lifestyle.
I’m not just excited to lose weight, I’m mainly looking forward to saying good bye to a shitty toxic life! ”
“Just want to say thank you for the work you do. I’ve been following you now for years and the energy and effort you put into doing what you do is inspiring and changing lives. Thank you”
“A huge congratulations on the 10th anniversary of Star Anise! I can’t believe it’s 10 years already.
Thank you for your knowledge and support you provide the community. Personally it has had a massive impact on my personal health and my son’s health issues and ability to be the best version of himself. Most of all I am just so happy that you’re living your truth, and flourishing in your purpose. Such an inspiration. Once again congratulations gorgeous 👏🏼🎉💚 ”
“I loved the session that we had together and after many years of knowing a little bit about what the right way forward was with food and health, you have managed to take me there, with your passion and drive and more importantly making it all seem very doable! Currently I have my first large pot of chicken stock on, my kifir is fermenting and I had raw chicken liver in my smoothie this morning! I know it will take time for all this glorious nourishment to work its way into my system, and I am very much looking forward to feeling significantly better than I currently do! ”
“Just want to say a big thank you for changing my pathway and hoping if I do become pregnant I can change my children’s path too. Thanks for inspiring me everyday with your videos, consults and workshops”
“Hi Soulla, Thank you so much for taking my call today, and for the wealth of information you offered! I have been so stressed and freaked out after finding mould in our bedroom; our daughter has been sleeping with us, so we’ve all been exposed! Speaking to you has given me confidence that I can knock this little beast. I am reading your blogs now. Thank you for all that you do! My daughter and I have been going to the Broth Bar for almost two years, and we have benefited from the beautiful pates, bone broths and brothsicles. 🙏💙”
“Hi Soulla,
I just wanted to sat thank you for your health coaching sessions. I have read widely about healthy eating and for some reason there was still something missing in my diet. Having followed you on instagram for a couple of years, I realised you keep clean eating real and achievable. After only a week of fine tuning my diet I am not snacking between meals and sleeping through the night - YEAH! ”
“Since I have come across your insta you have inspired me. To be a better person, to live a fuller life. To embrace nature and health and I thank you for that. Hopefully I will get to Broth Bar this year to meet you. Much love. ”
“I just wanted to say how fabulous our coaching session was. I think my partner and I both left with our eyes well and truly opened and it all made so much sense. We went directly to Bone Broth and Larder and bought more stock, the kefir sachets, some chocolate bliss balls and activated nuts to start us on our way. We are transitioning and doing the ‘healthy swaps’ you talked about, and my new mantra is ‘this house has to be the high water bench mark’. I say it a lot. Thank you again for your time to coach us. I really really enjoyed it and loved meeting you. So many new things to take on board but so grateful that we are starting the healthy journey to wholefoods with such a confident, knowledgable and helpful coach behind us”
“You have been a pivotal, life-changing, influence and role model. Thank you so much for generously sharing your incredible maternal insights and knowledge with me. This beautiful little girl that I have created would not look the same without the teaching from you. I am so deeply grateful”
“Before meeting Soulla Chamberlain I had done a lot of work on myself and my diet and was unsure if she would have anything to offer that I didn’t already know. After my fist cooking class with her I was blown away. Soulla backs up all her recipes and philosophies with well-rounded research. This knowledge has helped me connect with those around me by sharing scientific information about why I eat the way I do. As well as help me have a greater understanding of the way my body works and how to look after it. Before seeing Soulla my teeth were transparent and literally falling apart, I had two of my back teeth completely shatter and they had to be taken out. I am only 23 and was concerned about loosing too many of my teeth too young. Until meeting Soulla I did not realise tooth decay was reversible. Soulla gave me some diet tips which I implemented right away and within TWO WEEKS! my teeth became noticeably less transparent and stronger, to the point that people around me were saying what did you do to your teeth? On top of this she has helped bring life back into my kitchen with her exciting easy healthy recipes. I look forward to continuing working with her in the future”
“I’ve been off my medication for nearly two weeks!!! I can’t even believe it! I was tied to it for SO LONG and one session with you and I’m off it is literally life changing for me. I have no words, just complete gratitude. You’re amazing”
““My test results for my Lupus have improved dramatically in such a short time whilst doing auto-immune protocol (which I did for 6 weeks). I have my broth 2x a day so I think that also makes a huge difference. My immunologist is shocked and already started to reduce my steroids. I went from 50mg steroids to 5mg in only 2 months. After being on such high dose steroids my doctor couldn’t believe I had lost weight instead of putting on weight. She can’t believe that my face hasn’t puffed up at all from the steroids. She said, whatever your doing keep doing it! I can’t thank you enough””
“What you do is incredible. You are such a powerful voice, gifting incredible knowledge and wisdom that the world needs. You are amazing! I often think how blessed your children are to have you as their mum”
“I just want to say thank you for today. I always walk away from your consults with a deep knowing of truth, feeling inspired, & I can’t tell you how much that resonates with me. You make a real difference, I hope you’re told that often!”
“Just need to share, this morning i managed to get my very difficult 15 year old teenage daughter to have half a cup of kefir for breakfast, followed by freshly made chicken stock with egg yolk and lemon juice. She had it all and thought it was delicious. I have been trying for months now. She is addicted to Mayonaisse and adds it to everything. I now have your home-made mayo recipe that we are going to make next week. Thank You for all your encouragement. ”
“What a brilliant blog Soulla! Highly inspiring and refreshing to always read your news. Your efforts deserve the attention of a wide audience particularly our younger generation...You have a very youthful spirit which i hope/am sure is bringing in a young generation...i truly looked fwd to your 2017 classes which i fully intend to send both my girls. I cannot remember the last time i was sick thanks to you and the guidance of the RealFood Revolution i attended July 2015. Sadly i am extremely sick wth tonsilitis at present but without me asking for help from my girls...they read my mind and prepared your bone broths for me which has hit the spot...Your operation is having a huge impact in my household in small but very effective steps...i cant thank you enough...i so related to your point about coke zero versus bone broth at the movies..as it reminds me of the ridicule my daughters experience at school for eating “unusual” food...i’m proud to say that it has not faulted them and they still stand strong about eating right as you have educated us so well..Keep up your fresh, effervescent approach to managing brilliant business..For me personally, i have highly valued yr excellent customer service/advice and your priority for high quality. THANKS A MILLION!! KALI THINAMI! As the Greeks say “Keep up your strength!”
“Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you. I got my blood results back y’day & I actually have a few issues. You have made such a difference to my life regarding health & nutrition & advice. If it wasn’t for you I would not have seen the GP and had all the tests. I hope all that you do for others comes back ten fold”
“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your kindness over the past two months. It’s been a great education on many levels. I simply can’t believe how easily I slipped back into eating meat!”
“Your 10Ps to success post is EPIC and I must say it is the best piece I have ever read on any blog, anywhere! I’m sure it took ages to compile, but it was a work of art, Soulla. I LOVED it. Very moving to read as a fellow small business owner, very honest for your followers and a perfect insight into the core values and oft-overlooked challenges. Loved how well you communicated how strongly you believe the customer is ‘always right’. It’s a cliched expression, but also something that very few people truly abide by (to the very end, rather than on just the superficial level”
“I love your stories, I literally go oh what are we making today!!! thank you for sharing! You’ve inspired me to cook simply, add more organ meat to my families diet and steam my greens before I put them in a smoothie :) xx”
“Thank you so much for yesterday - you absolutely OVERDELIVERED & I am so grateful to have found someone who was able to meet me at my level of expertise and take me to the next level!”
“I LOVED our session and am so grateful for your knowledge and keeping things simple and congruent...just the reminder I needed and other key information to help me make changes”
“Soulla, you are incredible, thank you. Since I saw you last, I have confidence again, and so much passion for cooking. You have opened up my eyes and brought out my domestic goddess. It’s exactly the push I needed. What a difference a day with you made! My 1 year old daughter is glowing, her skin rash gone, she is thriving, most importantly her appetite has come back ten-fold, and she is really enjoying eating the meal-plan, as are we! She is having fist-fulls of organic bacon and egg cheese scramble and kraut and olive oil carrots. She also now loves her bolognaise since I have started adding bone broth to it every dinner meal. She has a little spoon of pate daily too, it’s so yummy. I’ve noticed she is no longer relying on formula milk too. She actually goes to bed just on a bit of a breast feed and she is happy with that - amazing. I’ve also noticed with myself, that the more bone-broth and salted water I have, the more it curbs my sugar cravings too. Love your work, just love you. Thank you for being so open and caring and sharing your knowledge and recipes. Can’t wait to try them out and use them to improve my family’s nourishment. Such a gift...”
“Thankyou thankyou for the download last night. You are such a patient and supportive teacher and my health and healing has catapulted in ways I never knew possible after decades of yo-yo dieting and addiction. Meeting you has quite literally changed my life in ways I never knew imagined. You’re amazing”
“I just wanted to thank you for the bottom of our hearts for going out of your way for my daughter. You have no idea how positive and happy she is after our visit. She has taken everything you have told her on board and staying away from the processed foods. We are both right into the broth and hoping to master sauerkraut tomorrow. You are a walking book of knowledge!”
“I’m just writing to you to let you know that after taking your advice with increasing the amount of organ meats I consume when I’m menstruating for the first time in nine months I have not had any chronic migraines, extreme lethargy and bed ridden pains during this time of the month. I have been eating organ meats daily this past week along with other nutrient dense foods. I’m feeling as great as I usually feel. Thank you so much for your advice. I am amazed that just by increasing the amount of organ meats my debilitating menstrual pains have vanished!”
“I cannot believe that I’ve gone from days of nausea and pain (and medication) to feeling free and on the road to good health. Thank you so much, you’ve literally changed my life and I am so grateful”
“Just wanted to say that it was lovely meeting you yesterday and I learned a lot from the consultation. I have re-read the handouts and a few of your blog posts again today and have immediately implemented your recommendations. I already feel a little more clear-headed, more satisfied after a meal and have a little more energy. I have read about a few of the paleo-related ideas in the past, but was still in denial about the facts related to grains and sugar because I thought that it would mean not enjoying food for the rest of my life. Similarly, I was confused about the lean meats idea and found that I was never full after a meal so was constantly eating - which is very time-consuming and tiring! I appreciate not only your extensive knowledge in this field, but especially that you have made it very fun, with exciting blog posts (I always look forward to them) and great recipe ideas. I actually feel very happy when I think about my future eating such satisfying and tasty foods and feeling healthy at the same time - without having to compromise!”
“Thanks so much Soulla. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to you for doing what you do. You sharing what you do has changed my life and my kids. You rock!!!!”
“I loved the session we had together and after many years of knowing a little bit about what the right way forward was with food and health, you have managed to take me there, with your passion and drive and more importantly making it all seem very doable! Currently I have my first large pot of chicken stock on, my kifir is fermenting and I had raw chicken liver in my smoothie this morning! I know it will take time for all this glorious nourishment to work its way into my system, and I am very much looking forward to feeling significantly better than I currently do!”
“Just wanted to shout out to you Soulla and congratulate you on your hard work, generosity and persistence. Your creativity is inspiring and you’re spreading the word wider and wider. You certainly changed my world. Thank you!”
“Dear Soulla, Thanks for everything!! You are amazing and have a wonderful generosity of spirit - I appreciate your support and now fell I am a solid path to recovery. I cooked up all of the chicken livers and, with your meals and a few veggies and salads, I am set up to succeed.”
“Love you so much Soulla, your energy, dedication, knowledge and inspiration! You’ve helped so many people in creating some form of better in their lives.
Thank you, always A”
