I moved to the Sunshine Coast from Canberra in 2012. With family in Montville, I always loved visiting the Hinterland and knew at some point I'd make the move up. Maleny has been home now for over 2 years, and I love this community.

I've worked all kinds of jobs and each has had its pros and cons. Most I've enjoyed, others less so. None have made me feel more at home and encouraged to show up fully as myself than working at the Maleny Co-op. The genuine balance of community, transparency and accountability that this business stands for creates a workplace unlike anywhere I've ever been. Its busy, often heavy and heady work. But there is a trust that we all look out for and support each other so most days are a breeze!

One of my great joys is Kundalini Yoga, a practice that I've studied and shared over the last decade. If you're interested to know more, visit my website www.yogawithricklake.com

I also love to study lots and create many of things. Including a few products that I sell/ have sold through the Co-op! (Sat Balm Meditation Anointment, Hinterland Mud Coffee Scrub, Ritual Star Body Oils and others). I'm also responsible for our revamping our new website.
