Therapeutic practitioner Brett Pattinson once led a considerably less holistic lifestyle as the frontman for internationally renowned ska band The Allniters – as much a description of their lifestyle choices as a name for the group.

Now a homeopath, Tai Chi Master and shiatsu specialist, Brett could once be found singing lead vocals on such hits as ‘Monetego Bay’, which reached number two in the Australian charts in 1984, ‘Breakfast in Bed’, which UB40 covered with Chrissie Hynde and ‘Love and Affection’, the title track from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie Secrets of the Ooze.

Never an industry famed for its health-giving properties, over 10 years of endless touring and countless ‘allniters’ left Brett with a severe case of burnout. Conventional medicine had little to offer him on the road to recovery, so he turned his attentions to natural therapies.

Brett enrolled at Nature Care College (Australia's leading centre for the study of natural therapies) where he spent four years studying shiatsu, aromatherapy and naturopathy. He was twice awarded Student of the Year, and even travelled to Japan, where shiatsu originated, to further develop his understanding of the practice. He continues to lecture in shiatsu and tai chi at the prestigious college, and is the youngest person to have been offered such a position.

After graduating, Brett ran a successful therapeutics centre. After years of hands-on work, he began developing the skincare products that form the basis of the hugely successful bod range. Brett realised that, just as real beauty comes from within, when it comes to formulating products it’s what’s inside the bottle that counts.
