Lynsey Koch, BSc. Env. Sci/Nutr Grad Dip Edu
Since 2005, I have made it my passion to educate and inspire clients to find a love for nourishing themselves holistically.
Who am i?
I am a mother of two beautiful little wahines (girls), a wife of a crazy, joy filled husband (my big third child), a surfer, ocean lover, fitness fanatic and am fully qualified Nutritionist who lovingly spends her days working with people to improve their health. I LOVE my job!
My motivation
How did I get here to LOVE Nutrition? Well, it was a bit of a personal journey…..In December of 1999 as a young 18 year old woman, my fate would find me getting into a critical accident on the top of Mauna Kea in my beautiful home on the Big Island of Hawaii, USA. With multiple surgeries to fix broken bones, re-inflate punctured lungs and the subsequent removal of my left kidney and spleen, it set my life (and perspective on health), on a path that I am truly blessed to have. It was in the hospital that I learned the true value of healing whole foods. I was lucky enough to have my incredible family running out every single day on a mission to the local organic food store to bring me back nourishing foods to help my body heal.
This alone allowed me to get out of the hospital in about 2 and a half weeks as opposed to the 8 weeks they originally forecast with the extent of my injuries. My doctors were left dumbfounded as my results defied standard medical procedure. It was after this point that I absolutely knew from every cell in my body that I had to change my undergraduate degree to study Nutrition. I am blessed to know this life and know the value of it, and it is my purpose to pay the gift of health forward, educating and providing the means for people to heal themselves through food and conscious living. I’d love to inspire and help you on your journey to feeling amazing!

Testimonials
“Last year I had been suffering terribly with bloating (to the point where I looked 8 months pregnant all the time), constipated with lack of energy and overall feeling blah! Thankfully I found Lynsey. She took me under her wing and guided me through a SIBO protocol that changed my life!! Lynsey’s knowledge and expertise allowed me to heal my gut naturally without antibiotics. I was provided with strategies and knowledge so I could continue to look after my gut for long term health and happiness.
Lynsey is caring, compassionate and unwavering in her help. Her encouragement and help knew no limits. I am happy to say that I no longer struggle or suffer with ANY gut issues. My bloating is non existent, my bowel habits are happy and I have renewed and boundless energy. As a mother of two young boys, a wife, a full time nurse and someone who loves to be active this is very important to me. Never underestimate the importance of a healthy gut!”

“Lynsey is so passionate about helping others to be the best version of health and is such an inspiring woman. I have learnt so much from her over the years and I’m immensely grateful we crossed paths! I’m in absolute awe of her knowledge every time that I speak with her. She just oozes compassion and has such a nurturing nature which makes her extremely approachable. I always get such positive feedback from every person I’ve referred to Lynsey - they too walk away feeling nurtured and empowered! I couldn’t praise her or recommend her enough!”
Leigh Walker, Lil’s Health Hub
“I was researching about the ketogenic diet and started talking to Lynsey about whether it was a fad or actually worked. She was so knowledgable on not only the ketogenic diet but everything health related. With her help I began the diet and she taught me about fasting, gut healing protocols, supplements and the meals. With her ongoing support I’m feeling great and can highly recommend her.”
Robert Kennedy, Sunshine Coast
“Fantastic! Give yourself a gift and attend one of the Seed & Sprout seminars. When I saw an invite to the Seed & Sprout ‘Nourished Living’ seminar I wanted to attend straight away, but I did wonder what I would learn and if it would be enjoyable. I have dabbled with health and nutrition for my own self for many years and naively wondered what I’d learn. Well, it was awesome and a wonderful afternoon. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, and breathe work starter was just wonderful to help me rest and reset to enjoy Lynsey sharing her incredible knowledge and passion. I definitely learned more than I ever thought was possible! Her friendly, easy presentation and talking style made it easy to absorb the info and there were visual aids too. During the break we had we were treated to a gorgeous homemade bliss ball and herbal tea to finish off listening to Lynsey’s wisdom and practical tips to live a life of health and wellness. It was thoroughly enjoyable and worth while.”

Other than that….
We as a young family are passionate about travel and showing our little girls a world that they will hopefully grow up to love and care for. I’m a firm believer that if you take care of your own health, we also inherently take care of our Earth. Buy local and organic, try to buy reusable and sustainable, cut plastic out of your life, think of others and love big.
