About us

Time for a fresh perspective on balance and wellbeing

You’re here because you’re seeking a healthier, happier future with enhanced physical, emotional, and spiritual energy, and a lot less stress. We’re here to help you achieve all of that — and more.

We are husband and wife team Duncan Hogg and Gina Carruthers, and we work together through Health in Perspective to help others find their personal path to optimal health. Among Australia’s most experienced holistic practitioners, we’re also recognised internationally for our contribution as Body Harmony teachers.

You’ll find us at Alaya Verde, the luxury wellness centre and B&B we have created amid 42 acres of private unspoilt forest in the beautiful Noosa Hinterland. From here — also our home for more than 20 years — we lead personalised retreats, offer one-to-one treatments, and host a range of Body Harmony and other classes.

Join us soon and let us guide you back to balance — we’ll meet you wherever you are on your journey.

Body harmony

Experience the power of touch, movement & intention

At the heart of all that we do at Health in Perspective is our extensive experience as Body Harmony practitioners and teachers. And if you’re willing to explore how things could be different, we can facilitate deep transformations in your life,  whatever your physical, emotional, spiritual, or other challenges. 

The Body Harmony treatments we offer at our Alaya Verde wellness centre can — with gentle touch,  movement, and intention — create lasting alignment between your body and mind. Together we can create a healthier, happier, more fulfilled version of you.

Through our Body Harmony classes you have the opportunity to explore in detail how the mind-body connection affects you — and whether becoming a practitioner could be your next vocational step.
