“The Maldives should re ally be quite ashamed of what’s going on” I was meeting a tribal man in the forest and he was showing me his friend who was a Golden Orb spider. I’m never game to touch one because they do bite and occasionally nausea and dizziness can occur after a bite. But he was telling me ‘don’t be afraid because it will know that (the fear) and the trust is broken’. So he put the spider on my hand and I was holding this dangerous spider, but before I knew it my nerves were gone. He taught me if you trust the animal, the animal will trust you. So every animal I film or work with I have that repeated in my head. It was a valuable lesson learnt.” Salons smoothies & raw food classes skin & body treatments mind & body programs 1/2453 Gold Coast Highway (corner Venice Street) Mermaid Beach www.refreshsalons.com.au
