Health in Perspective Pty Ltd is a long-established Australian-registered company offering holistic retreats, events, and luxury B&B accommodation in the heart of Queensland’s beautiful Noosa Hinterland.

From here we deliver our unique retreats while also providing an oasis of tranquility that regularly attracts five-star guest reviews on Google and TripAdvisor.
Health in Perspective offers one-on-one Body Harmony treatment sessions from Alaya Verde, as well as a range of classes for current and future Body Harmony® practitioners.
Your Health in Perspective hosts and guides are Australian husband-and-wife team Duncan Hogg and Gina Carruthers, who since the mid-1980s have lived and worked together helping others find their personal path to optimal health.
Both are highly experienced Body Harmony® practitioners and teachers, and both grew up in families where health, fitness, and embracing both western and eastern philosophies were the natural choice. They studied and collaborated extensively with the modality’s founder, the late Dr Don McFarland, from whom Duncan first began learning in 1986.
They are joint owners and directors of Health in Perspective Pty Ltd and the Alaya Verde wellness centre and B&B in Queensland, Australia, from where they offer one-to-one treatments as well as hosting retreats and other holistic events.
Duncan Hogg is currently the world’s longest-standing Body Harmony teacher, has organised and presented classes in 13 countries, and is current president of the global Body Harmony Association. His involvement with Body Harmony began when — as a teenager — he took a class with founder Dr Don McFarland in 1986. He has been practising, teaching, promoting, and living the principles ever since, including developing and managing Body Harmony events worldwide.
Gina Carruthers is a Body Harmony practitioner and teacher with a background in nature-based healing, eco-psychology, and mindfulness practices. She is the daughter of the late Jimmy Carruthers, Australia’s first world boxing champion, and Myra Carruthers, who owned Sydney’s first healthy food and juice bars. She has three adult children — one of whom is naturopath and Ayurvedic holistic practitioner Kimmana Nichols — and three grandchildren.
