IN a world that often focuses solely on physical health, Caroline Fisher (below right) recognised the profound need for a holistic approach to wellness.

In 1999, she embarked on a remarkable journey by establishing Health, Healing, and Harmony – a business that would forever transform the lives of countless individuals seeking a nurturing and spiritual path towards well-being.

“What sets my business and I apart is our unwavering commitment to addressing both the body and mind in equal measure,” she said.

“Instead of compartmentalising the different aspects of our well-being, Health, Healing, and Harmony understands that true harmony can only be achieved when there is synergy between the two. This holistic approach is what sets us apart from the countless others in the industry.”

Health, Healing, and Harmony is at 46 Rankin St, Innisfail, phone: 4061 1964 or visit www.healthhealingandharmony.com.au

INNISFAIL’S art deco heritage and stunning architecture will be celebrated at a five-day festival in September.

The Innisfail and District Historical Society is gearing up now to host their third annual Tropical Art Deco Festival with five days of art deco fashion, fun, history and music, and a mix of free and ticketed events.

Patrons are encouraged to wear art deco-style fancy dress to help set the mood and celebrate the town’s art deco architecture and heritage, which came about after the 1918 cyclone destroyed large portions of the town.

Society president Trish Ernst said dressing up was optional of course.

“But we’d love to see people get into the spirit of the event, wearing the fashions of the era to as many events as possible. We’ll have some great music of the era to help get in the mood as well,” she said The festival, which starts on Wednesday, September 13, in- cludes the society’s Historical Cemetery Walk at the Innisfail Cemetery, Shire Hall Guided Tours, Art Deco Trivia Night, the Roaring 20s Basket Cabaret, Champagne Mystery Movie, Paronella Park tours, Lions Markets, Art Deco Cruises, jazz music in Edith Street and the fabulous High Tea and Fashion Parade at the Innisfail RSL.

“This year we have added a tour celebrating our art deco heritage and local history, with a guided walking tour of the Innisfail CBD on Thursday, September 14,” Ms Ernst said.

“The walking tour will be conducted weekly, from May to November, and needs to be booked through the Mission Beach Tourist Information Centre,” she said.

Sapore Di Italia joins the event program this year with their Jazz Cafe on the Sunday, featuring music and film clips of the art deco era, along with their signature great coffee, sweet treats and meals.
