You Are The Miracle!

A gifted healer and modern-day muse, Grada Robertson and her husband and fellow practitioner, Peter, live on nine idyllic acres of landscaped gardens, mazes and forest, which they share with a beloved menagerie of animals in Forth, Tasmania. Grada's lifelong interest in health, food and earth medicine has shaped her career and lifestyle. In 2000, Grada and Peter opened the Purple House Wellness Centre, where they specialize in digestive, (wo) men's and children's health, as well as energy medicine. As Grada experienced after she was literally hit by a truck in 2006, it is almost impossible to make a full recovery when your gut health is destroyed by injuries, antibiotics or other lifestyle-induced illnesses. She became inundated by patients who had either become disconnected from food and its role in creating vitality, or who had struggled to overcome food allergies and other chronic conditions. Grada sought to share her views and passion for diverse, wholesome foods with a larger audience through her blog (purplehousenaturaltherapies.com.au/ gradas-blog/) and by opening Alchemy Café, a gluten-free café with an emphasis on ancient food preparations, such as fermented foods, slow cooked meals, and freshly baked food made from local organic produce. Using her home kitchen as a laboratory, Grada experimented with an exotic and often eccentric range of fermented cultures and colonies, as well as bone broth soups, smoothies and utilising healthy oils. She discovered it was easy to create foods that support immunity and restore digestion and wellbeing by returning essential bacteria and enzymes to her family's and client's diets. Alchemy of Love represents Grada's research into a happy life-including a strong immune system, fit and flexible body and a balanced mind.
