The Hopewood lifestyle promotes vegetarianism, natural whole foods, freshly prepared juices and plenty of water, regular exercise and relaxation. It also emphasises the power of fresh air and spending time in our natural environment.
In the 21st century western lifestyle, our modern diet, high stress levels, lack of exercise and abundance of man-made chemicals have very real impacts on our health and wellbeing. Hopewood’s philosophy promotes natural healing and holistic health using fresh natural foods and fresh juices to address deterioration in our health.
Hopewood agrees wholeheartedly with the old adage “you are what you eat”! We believe food is our medicine. Our abundant experience demonstrates that fresh natural food, in a predominantly ovo-lacto vegetarian diet, is the best way to achieve and maintain wellbeing.
The Hopewood lifestyle starts with good digestive health. It’s the foundation of Hopewood’s natural health philosophy!
Here, you really can take the first step towards achieving sustainable health and wellbeing.

Hopewood Wisdom
Hopewood’s proven natural health philosophy and wellbeing wisdom, passed down over 55 years at Australia’s original health retreat, is here to help you lead a healthy and happy life.
Take care of yourself
It’s important to make time to rest and recharge. Meditation and massage are two great ways to unwind.
Nourish your body
Get moving
Want to feel energetic and maintain a healthy weight? Find a form of exercise you love, and make it a regular part of your life.
Reconnect with nature
Awaken your senses and step outside for some fresh clean air. Feel fresh grass underfoot or take a bush walk.
Keep it natural
Where possible, reduce your intake of sugar and processed foods, especially processed carbohydrates.
Live better with Hopewood
A vegetarian diet is a healthy way to meet your nutritional needs, if planned well. Find out how this diet can improve health and wellbeing. Vegetarian diets continue to increase in popularity.
