You’re looking for a life-affirming interlude in a peaceful location, somewhere to reset with gentle support from experts in holistic healing. We have the answer, in the heart of the beautiful Noosa Hinterland.
We’re among Australia’s most experienced natural health practitioners, a husband-and-wife team who have for nearly 40 years been creating Health in Perspective retreats that successfully connect at a truly personal level.
Our knowledge and expertise spans multiple modalities. We have been Body Harmony therapists since the mid-1980s, and as leading practitioners and teachers now share our knowledge at events worldwide.
Everything we do at our beautiful Alaya Verde wellness centre on the Sunshine Coast pivots around the inextricable connections between the physical, emotional, and spiritual. This is always where we start, and it’s how we’ll create your unique retreat — from your personalised treatments to your delicious organic meals.
We’re here to gently lead as you embark on your journey back to true health and happiness — and we’ll ensure you enjoy every minute of your time with us.
Welcome to Alaya Verde, Health in Perspective’s long-established and unique centre of healing and wellness in the heart of Queensland’s magnificent Noosa Hinterland.
Just a 15-minute drive from Noosa, Alaya Verde lies within our own unspoilt 42-acre private forest estate. Choose between one of two secluded en-suite pavilion-style rooms and enjoy full access to our facilities, including a lap pool and lounge with open fire. Or — for some of our retreats — you also have the option to immerse yourself more deeply in nature with an onsite stay at our private forest campsite.
A luxurious five-day retreat designed to restore balance, with cleansing meals, bodywork treatments, and a tranquil setting for deep relaxation and renewal.
A transformative seven-day retreat guided by Ayurvedic principles, featuring detoxifying treatments, nourishing meals, and holistic practices to reset your body and mind.
With nearly 40 years experience as Body Harmony practitioners and teachers, we bring exceptional knowledge, understanding, and wisdom to Health in Perspective’s Body Harmony classes.
Led by Duncan Hogg and Gina Carruthers, we host classes throughout the year at our Alaya Verde wellness centre in Queensland. Some we schedule — including within our retreats — while others we arrange on an ad hoc basis in response to client demand.
Our teaching is about learning from your own body in a safe and accessible environment. You’ll be fully clothed throughout, and we’ll be meeting you where you currently are in terms of comfort and body awareness.
