Embracing Health
Embracing Health is a business dedicated to changing lives through education about how to create vibrant health. Specialising in fatigue disorders, Embracing Health has a focus on food as medicine, detoxification, the environment with an emphasis on organics, abundance in all areas of life, the emotional aspects of healing and living life on purpose, Embracing Health offers a comprehensive exploration of holistic healing.
Embracing Health was founded in 2007 by Leisa Ravenscroft. Since then, Embracing Health has evolved to encompass a popular blog, newsletters, videos, podcasts, naturopathic consulting, functional pathology testing services, detox retreats, an online store, membership club, tour co-ordination and public speaking events. The signature Embracing Health Detox, Healing and Raw Food Retreats are held throughout Australia and in Bali and the naturopathically designed, supportive nature of the retreats, sees guests return year after year.
In addition to all of this, founder Leisa Ravenscroft has been working on her book focusing on issues of fatigue, The ‘F’ Word Solution, being launched in February 2015. It encompasses all aspects of the Embracing Health philosophy. The branches of the Embracing Health business support readers in their healing journey, whether it is through educational articles on the blog, gaining in-depth information in the membership club, ordering testing services or superfoods, having a naturopathic consultation or attending an Embracing Health Retreat.
