    HEALTHY BALANCE: Horsham’s Des Lardner’s Organic naturopaths Emily Grieger, left, and Ebony Jordan prepare for wellness event ‘It’s All About Balance’ at Nhill Memorial Community Centre on October 16. From 9.30am to 2.30pm, people will have the opportunity to learn about nutrition, self-care, stress management, and gut and hormonal health.

It’s all about balance

Achieving a balanced lifestyle will be the focus of a wellness day at Nhill Memorial Community Centre on Wednesday next week.

Horsham’s Des Lardner’s Organic, along with Nhill farmer Kaye Bothe and empowerment coach Hayley Grosser, will lead ‘It’s All About Balance’ from 9.30am to 2.30pm.

The health event will include presentations on nutrition, self-care, stress management, and gut and hormonal health with Des Lardner’s Organic naturopaths Emily Grieger and Ebony Jordan.

Mrs Bothe said mental and physical heath was vitally important, particularly for people in agriculture and prior to significant events in the farming cycle such as harvest.

She said she approached Mrs Grosser and Des Lardner’s Organics manager Heidi Laursen Habel to organise the program to give people ‘tools and tips to deal with life’s daily demands’.

“I have experienced first-hand, from when my own health was at its worst, how I was not prepared for working long hours and how this showed physically and emotionally, and the impact spreads on to the whole family,” she said.

“It is about finding the right balance that suits your lifestyle, and as much as we are asked to ask others if they are okay, it’s about identifying yourself that you are not.”

As part of the day, Primal Alternative’s Tracy Matthews will provide a healthy lunch, and there will be free mini makeup and Craniosacral therapy sessions.

Mrs Grieger said while balance in life could be seen as difficult to achieve, she believed it was a worthwhile pursuit that could be gained through ‘sharing knowledge, shifting perspectives and implementing simple changes’.

People can book tickets for $22.50 at www.eventbrite.com.au, which includes the mini make-over and Craniosacral therapy sessions and lunch, or call Des Lardner’s Organics on 5382 7766 for more information.
