I've been in the coffee industry as co-owner with my husband of Soulz of the Earth Coffee Co., then Mandala Brews Coffee Co.
We used to roast our own blends and operate at Eumundi Market, Yandina Country Market, and Fisherman's Rd Market. And we also had a coffee shop in Coolum Beach.
We sold the business in 2025.
I'm an experienced barista and FHO pro.
