We had spent over 20 years in the Media Industry, Peter as
a Film & TV Sound Recordist and Linda as a Production Manager and Conference Producer.
Beginning in 1996, our lives began to change from a frenetic, high stress, out of balance lifestyle into a more holistic, ‘Organic’ way of living. This culminated in 1999 with both of us changing careers to be full time in the complementary field, learning, teaching and practising massage, energy work and ‘stress busting’ techniques, with many people, from all walks of life.
In 2001, we began to travel, spending time in the pacific and
Australasia.
Linda and Peter Woodgate
New Zealand became special for us, and after several visits, felt this was the place for us to continue our philosophy of “helping people to help themselves”.
The opportunity to take on Arcadia Organics arose, and we both feel this is a great place to share with people that organics are not just products, but a philosophy and a lifestyle, and a way to treat the Whole body in a truly Holistic way.
Our overall intention is to provide a local venue and focus for the increasing number of people interested in natural processes that promote better health and to foster healthy physical, emotional, mental and spiritual lifestyles.
