When Brooke Findley’s daughter was diagnosed with food allergies a few years ago, the Melton woman started thinking more seriously about health and nutrition.
The registered nurse was alarmed at the lack of information in Melton about healthy living.
“People in inner-city suburbs are getting the right nutrition information and support to live healthier lives,” Ms Findley said. “Why aren’t we?”
Ms Findley has seen the devastating effects of diet-related illnesses.
“[My] own daughter suffers from food allergies, which sparked off a personal quest to research food and nutrition, and start [my] own organic food distribution business,” she said.
The Organic Place delivers fresh fruit and vegetables to households.
The mother-of-three will co-host a workshop about healthy living and nutrition information on Saturday, February 20 at the Western Bace, Melton.
“Learn how a few small changes can make a massive difference towards healthy living,” she said.
