Do you feel exhausted all the time?
Have you lost track when it was last time you did something for yourself?
Do you wanna know how you can create more balance in your life?
Do you feel something need to change in your life but donโt know where to start and what to do?
Do you feel you haven’t been yourself?
I was 38 years old…
when I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Bowel Cancer. When I was told about it, in that exact moment, my world stopped… I froze with fear, sadness and I couldn’t even begin to start thinking about how my life was going to be from that moment on. After spending a couple of weeks in a really dark place, I gathered some strength from inside my physical and mental body to tackle what it was the biggest challenge of my life. As my cancer was in the Bowel, I started questioning everything I ate. I realised that whatever I had been eating clearly didn’t work for me. I start reading books and step by step I started seeing food through different lenses. Food became part of my medicine cabinet, one of the most important tools I could use to create a healthier body. For me it was about getting as close as I could to nature, eating things that I knew where they came from, things that were alive as this was my exact focus: being and staying alive.
This is my why...
Needless to say I become super passionate about my journey, what I went through was powerful in a positive way. I feel I rebuilt a relationship with myself. I feel I walked back to myself. My physical, mental and spiritual health became my focus and with small shifts I was able to create massive impact in all areas of my life.
As I re-entered normal life, I found people were suffering physically, mentally with things that they got used to, things that they accepted as their new reality.
I saw people were accepting bad health physically and emotionally. As a result of that I watched people accepting a mediocre life while they were running on an automatic pilot.
But I couldn’t accept cancer, chemotherapy, living with a chronic disease and having poor quality of life as the definition of my new future. I kept reading more, researching more…
Wanna know how you can work with me?
