Soulmama
Soulmama Soulmama Soulmama

Soulmama is a breath of fresh air.....

Upon entry a feeling of peace sweeps over you as classic Thonet furnishings offer their comforts. The spectacular view over Port Phillip Bay and St Kilda Beach is truly serene, yet so casual that you feel compelled to plonk down and soak up the atmosphere.

Located in the heart of the historical St Kilda Sea Baths building, Soulmama takes modern style and fine vegetarian dining to a new level.

Head Chef Cathy Maguire works her magic in the completely vegetarian kitchen with her fleet of chefs, as she entices your senses with her praised global vegetarian food. A dining experience which enhances a compassionate and harmonious approach to eating and living.

Soulmama also houses a lounge with a welcoming open gas fireplace and bed-like couches; immaculately untarnished bathrooms; and outdoor balconies.

Adjoining the restaurant is Soulbar - a private function room for up to 80 guests. It is the perfect location for post work or pre-dinner drinks, or simply for soaking up the sunset, watching the western storms roll in or making peace when the Bay is at its calmest.

"A place that provides the kind of clever raw stone and timber design, super beachside location, contemporary music and great vibe that diners demand while appealing to their palates on a culinary rather than philosophical level"
John Lethlean, Gourmet Traveller September 2002

Springfields Health Care Group (SHCG) is located in the lovely leafy suburb of Dural in Sydney. In 1990 when aromatherapy in Australia was still in its infancy, John and Jillian Kerr created Springfields to satisfy the growing need by practitioners and the general public for premium quality, pure essential oils. John and Jillian have been vegan for about 12 years, believing that one should leave 'as few footprints on this planet as possible'.

Creating products of a high enough standard to use themselves i.e. products which offer high performance whilst maintaining the vegan principles, is a constant but satisfying challenge. Just recently a SPA body care range has been added, which includes pure aromatherapy based skin care enriched with luscious plant base skin nutrients. More details on the company and products are available on the website.

These factories are found not only in Asia but even in our own backyards in the suburbs of Australia. After years of denial, even the worst culprits are finally admitting that it does happen. Well No Sweat is here to offer conscious and conscientious consumers alike, an alternative.
