EVENT CURATOR & HOST
Emily is the Founder and Owner of Evoke Experiences. Her love of authentic experiences and holistic wellness are the seeds from which events such as Rise & Nourish were born.
Emily has had an extensive and varied career as an Event Manager, overseeing major sports and lifestyle events around Australia and eventually forming Evoke Experiences.
She has worked in the advertising and marketing world, did a 5-year stint working on superyachts around the world as a private chef, has been a yoga teacher for 13 years, and more recently dabbling in naturopathy studies and still completing her Integrated Nutrition & Health Coaching course.

Kat Harding
YOGA GUIDE
Kat Harding is an international yoga teacher based in the paradise that is Noosa who regularly teaches Stand up paddle board yoga, workshops & retreats both in Australia and overseas. She teaches yoga on both land and water and is passionate about using the physical practice of yoga, whether it is power or yin to find stillness in the mind.
“My pathway to yoga has never been linear, and the ways in which I’ve come to appreciate it have changed well beyond what I thought was possible in my late teens and early 20’s. Becoming a mother, shifting in and out of a corporate career as a Human Resources Business Partner and navigating the world has made me accutely aware of the bombardment of the outer world and it’s do’s and don’ts vs. the inner world of beauty and possibility.”
For the best part of 10 years Kat has walked the pathway of student and teacher at the same time, offering studio and private lessons, workshops, experiences, retreats and so much more - across the full spectrum of the yogic pathway (the Eight-Limbs of Yoga) and more.
“My aim is to create and share experiences that bring you home, home to you”.
Lynsey Koch
NUTRITION & WELLNESS GURU
After experiencing a critical accident on the top of Mauna Kea in her home on the Big Island of Hawaii, Lynsey had multiple surgeries to fix broken bones, re-inflate punctured lungs and the subsequent removal of my left kidney and spleen. This experience set her life (and perspective on health), on a path that valued the healing power of whole foods.
Nourishing foods healed my body to a speedier recovery than the doctors anticipated. It was after this point that she knew that she had to change my undergraduate degree to study Nutrition.
It is Lynsey’s purpose to pay the gift of health forward, educating and providing the means for people to heal themselves through food and conscious living.
“The natural healing force with each of us is the greatest force in getting well. Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
