When I discovered that there was a real gap in the market for healthy, whole-food catering, I decided to focus on that more specifically and since then the business has grown at a really steady space. But in the end it was actually the catering that people really grew to love. NOOD grew very organically (pardon the pun!) as it started with a simple healthy recipe blog for me to store my recipes and share them with others and then once I finished my studies I decided to expand it into more of a counselling business with events and workshops focused around health and wellness. What spurred you on to start your business? When I left, I decided to start NOOD and here we are! NOOD will be two years old at the end of November and it’s been a very exciting journey so far. During this time, I embarked on my part time studies in Nutritional Counselling and Nutritional Medicine. I started working at a really busy cafe as their kitchen hand and over the span of three and a half years I worked up to head cook. Cooking was always my form of meditation after a stressful day in the office and one day I decided that I wanted to take the risk of embarking in a career in food. I obviously didn’t want to miss out on the comfort foods that I had grown up on so I started experimenting with how to make comfort foods healthier and in doing so, it sparked my interest in nutrition.īefore I started working on NOOD I actually worked in Human Resources. I never really grew up with junk food but definitely over ate processed foods in the form of cakes, sweets, breads, pastas and white rice. The health part of it all came later when I was working on my own diet and trying to change my way of eating after noticing that certain foods made me feel ill, or triggered my migraines or skin break outs. Hi Nikki, tell us a bit about your story!įood has always been an integral part of my life-my mum is Italian and my dad is Indonesian so as you can imagine, food was a massive part of my upbringing and it’s been a way for family and friends to get together and connect, share stories and exchange human energy-something which I feel we are losing touch of with the increased use of technology and the never ending busy lifestyles that we seem to lead. We took ten with Nikki to talk about her business, her top health tips and where she likes to go for a tipple (cos life is all about balance!) Nikki has a huge love for good, healthy food and her NOOD food boxes have taken Perth by storm. This week, we met with Nikki Heyder, the amazing beauty and brains behind NOOD. They’ll share their tips and tricks and a whole lot of inspiration to help you live the healthiest life ever. ![]() To celebrate all of Perth’s health magic, we’ve created a cool little health and wellness series which will allow you to gain insight into the lives of some of Perth’s healthiest cool cats. Over the past few years, Perth’s health and wellness scene has taken off and we are loving it! From the juice cleanse companies to the healthy cafes, from the wellness warriors to the hip yoga studios sprouting up all over town, Perth has got it going on. ![]()
