Let me introduce myself....

My name is Melina Strachan, I grew up in Melbourne Australia, my family and I did our tree change a few years ago to central Victoria... a couple of acres in the bush between Daylesford and Kyneton. After a sojourn in Ubud Bali we moved closer into town living in beautiful Hepburn Springs.

I am a certified Naturopath, Massage Therapist, student Yoga Teacher and Mother to 3 little go getter kidlets (+ 2 gorgeous step kids)

In short I'm obsessed with food....feeding my family well and the concept of kitchen medicine - good health starts with what goes in your mouth.

Why call the blog " Find Me In The Kitchen" - a number of reasons, firstly it's a running joke between my husband and friends that every party we ever have I'm ALWAYS in the kitchen, secondly the realisation and acceptance that with 3 smallish children and my obsession with food I am ALWAYS in the kitchen and that's OK.

It has been such a journey to learn how to cook real, whole, nourishing food- there is such a lot of information out there, I've been studying and researching for years and would love to share what I have learned and unlearned along the way.

Another aspect to this blog is my journey with being overweight (maybe it's because I'm always in the kitchen) I'm thinking of sharing bits and bobs about this as well.

Find Me In The Kitchen also has a home at Lazuli Wellbeing in Hepburn Springs, Australia.
