GETTING TO KNOW JEMMA GAWNED

You might know her as Former Big Brother TV identity but there's a whole lot more wisdom, knowledge and passion behind the beautiful face that is Jemma Gawned. Gawned has become owner and creator behind blossoming raw food business Naked Treaties and has found her true gift and purpose spreading health and healing through food. The businesses success has sprung from a passion she’d only ever considered a hobby. “I started making raw treats for my friends and my family that were raw, gluten, dairy and sugar-free and everyone was loving them!” Gawned says.

Gawned has been studying, researching and practising a whole foods diet for well over a decade. Though the true turning point into the whole raw vegan lifestyle began at a fasting retreat in Thailand some 10 years ago. It was only after this life changing experience Gawned felt fully alive and beaming with life force energy! This life force led Gawned to the path which we now know and love as Naked Treaties. Naked Treaties created in 2009 is about enjoying life, living each day to the fullest and celebrating the radiance and vibrancy that comes from living naturally!

The Naked Treaties family is based on Marvel Street in Byron Bay. Its a beautiful light-filled space oozing with vibrant, radiant smiles and all things brimming with life! Naked Treaties is a business that operates from the heart and and Gawned's core values.

The Naked Treaties range of yumminess offers luscious raw chocolates, balls, cakes, smoothies, elixirs and savouries that are organic, raw, vegan, gluten, dairy and cane sugar free. They are abundant in powerful nutrient dense super foods and infused with vibrational bush flower essences. They use the freshest, best quality, raw organic ingredients, and see their beautiful products as an offering of love to their customers.

I meditate, have a sauna, practice yoga and drink green juice

YOUR SLEEP PATTERN LOOKS LIKE

Optimally I love to be in bed and asleep by 10pm and up at 5.30am

YOUR TYPICAL DAILY DIET IS?

Green juice, almond milk chai, green smoothie, buckwheat crepe with tons of organic salad and raw vegemite, A naked treatie for an afternoon snack, dinner is often one of our lunch specials left over from the day so a raw pizza, raw falafels , raw pad thai..it varies.. all served with an abundant salad

Next on the list is Bali in April where Chris and I will be taking Sacred Sonics and his band Mapstone to the Bali Spirit Fest and then to Peru where i'll be helping to facilitate a transformational healing journey up in the Andes mountains and lake Titicaca in Peru and Bolivia. Then off the the South of France to do some work around re claiming the Divine feminine. From there to London and the UK with my Mumma for her 70th birthday! (her dream is to go to Wimbledon!) then back to Canada to set up a retreat with my beloved Chris and finally back through Central and South America finishing again in my beloved Andes Mountains in Peru before heading home in Spring. So more like a pilgrimage than a holiday!!!

CAN YOU SHARE ANY GOALS YOU WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS

I'm not really a goal setter to be honest!! I tend to have a vision and then stay open and aware to the signs and circumstances that pop up around me looking for signals that will show me the direction I need to be heading in. It takes 'striving' out of the picture and brings me more into intuitive 'being'. On some level I feel there is something to be shared with people on masse about how to tune into what your inner purpose is (your spiritual knowing, your passion) and how to marry that with your outer one (the way you express yourself in the world). I feel it's what a lot of us truly want but don't know how to get there. If we were all living our passion and it became our work, we would all be feeling as though we have a true purpose in our lives. Then we can create our lifestyle in alignment with our purpose. Then we are living from our hearts, instead of being ruled by the monkey mind
