“At my recent Supper Club at The Willow, I was blown away by their ethos of serving up Food As Medicine dishes and how they make it easy for diners to enjoy nutrient dense food, including those with specify dietary needs but without compromising on flavour. But to combine this with their holistic health clinic, Irrefutable Health, makes for a powerful concept that empowers people to take control of their own health. This place is an absolute must visit and a true destination for those who enjoy living a healthy lifestyle. Keep up the amazing work guys!” Dr Rupy Aujla

Experience naturally enriched living
Empowering people to live better lives has always been a strong force in my life. The idea to marry an integrative treatment clinic with a full-service ‘Food as Medicine’ styled restaurant & community space has been a dream of mine for some time. A space where everyone can benefit and enjoy a healthier lifestyle.
