My Story….My Mission!

I was a “young” pregnant mother, trying to get better. I really wanted to regain my health so I would not have to struggle so much with everything specially during my pregnancy.

I wanted to be able to be there for my family and have the energy to do things.

The thing is I was trying to figure out what to do to get better, that meant I wasn’t able to be there for my family 100%, let alone have the energy to do things.

To make things worse, I felt terrible because I didn’t have the motivation to do anything and I felt completely lost. I felt even worse about the situation because I was just trying to get through the days by dragging myself around . I felt like a failure to myself but specially as a mum.

The problem was that I was following every medical advice without getting any better. To make things worse, one day suddenly my body just shut down to meat, I could not eat any meat or even come close to it, just the smell alone would make me sick. It meant I was losing the belief on the advice and treatments that I was given; I also become very worried about why my body was reacting so badly to a food group that I believed was not only important but essential for optimum health, leaving me feeling worse than before feeling confused.

Then, as if by chance, something amazing happened…

That’s when I had the epiphany to look for alternatives and educate myself on lifestyle and natural healing!

It was now crystal clear to me that I needed to take control over my health, because I saw that I was the best person to transform my own health and life.

I also learned that you do not need to be an expert to change your own health and life, you need to create a better environment for your body to start healing itself, starting today now even if it is just a small step.

As a result, I started changing my lifestyle immediately which created a momentum.

After I did that, I started feeling better which then motivated me even more.

Suddenly, I was getting my life and health back.

That’s when I realized that the secret to get better was creating the right conditions for my body to heal itself.

My plan was to start studying, researching and reading as much I could regarding health and nutrition.

So I started educating myself about health and nutrition. But we didn’t stop there.

I then implemented all my new knowledge into my own life starting with the change of my diet.

After that, I started helping my immediate family.

But there was still a problem…

Choosing this new lifestyle meant getting my physical health back but I didn’t expect the backlash from my husband, family and friends. Without their support I felt alone; although, I was feeling much better physically, but the lack of empathy and acceptance took me by surprise and it did affect me.

I ended up getting so frustrated that I decided to choose well-being over anything or anyone else! It became clear to me that feeling vibrant and healthy even if alone was better than sick and ill with friends and family. I also realized it was time to make new friends, connect to like minded people and change my mindset by accepting their non acceptance and have compassion for their rejection.

I choose to call it “Plant Based Offers ”.

I thought if I could create something that would make it possible to use my real-life experiences and tools to help and support others, I would be really happy.

After months of takings courses, years of researching and spending every bit of money that I didn’t have, I finally feel confident with my plant based lifestyle knowledge and results to help others, I created a “plant based bundle” — coaching, support, tools, programs, books, community, guidance, retreats, etc etc (well….it is still on the process of creation….).

I can now help others who are going through similar experiences and show them how to overcome those same problems.

As a result of all this I was able to achieve the following:

Improved my health, my family’s health as well as help friends and strangers along the way. I have also learnt that I should always choose my wellbeing over anything else. Anyone opposing this, compassion is the only answer for those people.

So my vegan plant based journey started 7 years ago when I was ill and pregnant with my second child. My 8 year old child’s chronic skin issues have also been fixed with dietary changes. My opposition is gradually respecting, accepting (and adopting… shhhhhhh) my lifestyle :-)

After adopting a plant-based lifestyle, I was not only able to feel healthier with more energy, I’ve also been able to stop wasting so much time being ill or trying to find solutions, because I can now make better choices.

And in the end, all of this means I’m now able to spend time doing the things I really enjoy, like spending more quality time with my children, friends, family, create my perfect home… The irony is that I started my quest of only wanting to feel physically better so I was not bedridden but in the process I ended up becoming someone completely new, not only I feel better but became someone with more compassion and empathy towards our planet and all beings. Ultimately, my body guided me into this new lifestyle, it was not something I imposed on myself or a new fad that I wanted to try, it was the only thing my body accepted; however, the biggest shift of all was on my mindset — true LOVE for self and others.
