About Us

Here at Lulu’s Perch, we have a number of key players that each add their own flare & expertise, creating our own thriving, diverse ecosystem. We offer a range of Permaculture Workshops & courses, occasional Yoga workshops, venue hire & short-term accommodation. Lulu’s Perch really is a special property & we look forward to sharing it with you soon.

Aaron Mears

Aaron is a man of many passions & talents. Growing up in Sydney, after leaving school Aaron studied & worked as a Mental Health Nurse for many years until finding his way to Education. Upon completing his studies, he stumbled across Permaculture while in Peru & soon found his path. The journey has taken him all over the world, studying under Geoff Lawton, interning in Jordan & finally landing in the Noosa Hinterland.

Aaron is a dedicated father, loving husband & a passionate Permaculture Educator. He has the ability to convey seemingly complex issues simply whilst ensuring everyone walks away feeling empowered & entertained. Aaron also thoroughly enjoys conducting private consultancies, assisting his clients to find simple & cost-effective solutions, all through the lens of Permaculture & Regenerative practices.

Each month Aaron teaches a Permaculture session at the local brewery in Cooran, does regular talks with Cooroy Library & teaches at the Community Gardens in Cooroy. He also very much enjoys teaching workshops on his own property, pouring all of his knowledge & enthusiasm into his 6-month Permaculture Design Course.

Petrina King

Petrina is the yin to Aaron’s yang. She is the main support person for all of the courses & workshops, ensuring all run smoothly & everyone is well fed and cared for. Along with caring for & growing alongside their two gorgeous children, Petrina has a deep passion for health- physical, emotional, mental & spiritual.

Years of University study & work within the Western Medical system, coupled with her ongoing (lifelong) yoga studies & somewhat insatiable curiosity for finding ways to live a simple, slow, sustainable & fulfilling life has gifted her a unique view on life. She is a wealth of knowledge & enjoys welcoming all walks of life to Lulu’s Perch.

Petrina occasionally holds yoga workshops & classes, collaborating with local artists & creatives to gift all those who attend a beautiful, nourishing & soul filling experience.
