Food therapy - Sri Lanka 
Saturday 4th July 2010 - The Sunday Times, Paul Croughton 

 "It has been said, by persons more uncharitable than yourself, that the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Well, Samantha Gowing, an award-winning restaurateur in her native Australia, believes that you can plough on past the heart and reach the soul. Sam claims to be a “therapeutic chef”, and her retreat at the boutique hotel Kahanda Kanda, on a working tea estate only 30 minutes from Galle, uses food as medicine, fixing digestive disorders and food sensitivities through Zen macrobiotics and traditional Chinese medicines, as well as promoting wellness and healing with motivational mindset techniques and meditation. She then throws in yoga and Pilates classes, so the rest of your body doesn’t get jealous. In fact, it will revel in the lush surroundings of Kahanda Kanda, with its long infinity pool, lily ponds, abundant, attentive staff and serene sense of wellbeing."

Pose in Bali

Janine Hall isn’t the first mid-30s executive to decide there is more to life than a career that demands a 24/7 commitment. But she may be the first to decide the antidote to her mid-life crisis is to run off to Bali and set up a surfing and yoga retreat for women called Surf Haven Bali. 
Hall has employed the Australian nutritionist and award-winning restaurateur, Samantha Gowing, to design the menu with a view to using local produce and maximising health benefits. “We did surveys and found that nutrition is uppermost in our guests’ wish list,” she says. Gowing turned the Grace Darling Hotel into one of Melbourne’s first gastro pubs during the 1990s. She now runs Gowings Food Health Wealth, a successful nutrition and well-being business in Byron Bay, as well as consulting to the spa industry, here and internationally.
