Shannon is a certified Nutritionist with a Bachelor of Health Science: Nutritional Medicine. ​Nutritional medicine is an evidence-based and patient-centered practice that applies a holistic framework to health.   

Shannon will inspire you with her own personal story, as well as many stories from working with her clients, to demonstrate that Holistic Nutritional Medicine can aid in both the prevention and management of a wide variety of health conditions, such as weight, wellness, gut health, and diagnostics.

Her practice uses what she calls the inside out method, a process she used to heal herself when our traditional, western medical system failed.  Instead of aiming to alleviate symptoms, the focus is on supporting and enhancing your body’s innate ability to heal itself. By identifying the cause of your symptoms and treating from the inside out, symptoms will fix themselves.​

Shannon will teach you how deliciously it can be to become your healthiest self. You will learn all about balance and even enjoy creations from her book Conscious Cocktails.

Pauline's food has been such a highlight for our retreat guests that they asked if we'd bring her back to teach us how to cook her food!  So, due to popular demand, we invited her back, and here she is!

As well as being a talented and creative cook Pauline's knowledge is impressive. Due to her own health challenges, Pauline learned first hand how food plays a powerful role in healing and health.  You'll be inspired by her passion for life and health, and her years of applied study in traditional and contemporary wisdom regarding growing and cooking food.

Pauline is also passionate about raising awareness about zero waste and sustainability and is a leader in the Green School community in Bali.

In 2016 she decided to downsize her life to reduce her ecological footprint and she build a simple yet beautiful bamboo house in a food forest. She rides her bike for transport and grows most of the food she eats.

Before living in Bali she lived in Florida and the Bahamas, where she enjoyed an adventurous life on, in and near the sea. Pauline grew up in Canada, in a large extended family, and has been learning about nourishing with good food for her entire life.

Her reputation for creating delicious, nutritious meals and her zero waste lifestyle has made her home a favorite destination for health-conscious visitors to Bali.  You can find out more about visiting Pauline in Bali @pondok_kebun_bali.

Meet Farmer Pete, a man with seemingly infinite energy! When he’s not jetting the globe on business, he is knee deep in the veggie garden here at Springfield Farm. During the past six months, he has set up our beautiful chickens in the coop of their dreams and is growing mealy worms and crickets for their food. He’s passionate about mycelium and has planted a superfood mushroom farm. He’s always got his hands in the dirt, growing veggies for our retreats, and recently became a beekeeper! He is especially excited to have taken Springfield Farm off the grid with our own solar energy, and will be happy to take you on tours to explore all of his projects while you’re here.
