A little about me…
I’m originally from Jamaica and have been living in the US for over 40 years.
I have traveled the world and have a passion for everything international including my own culture. This includes the culture the food, traditions and customs.
As a Health Coach, I integrate this knowledge to motivate you and assist you in Living your Best Life journey!
In 2012, I noticed that things were not right with my health (weight gain, blood pressure issues just to name a few) and noticed that I developed many sensitivities to certain foods and skincare products. Through research, working with a Nutritionist and finding an Osteopathic doctor, a more consistent exercise regiment, going back to eating the way God intended, I took charge of my health and began to change the narrative.
My Nutritionist put me on a Plant-based eating-plan and I haven’t looked back.
I eat to live now, not live to eat!
Eating this way was not totally different from what I was used as a person from an island country where every plant and vegetable imagined is used for eating.
This is Biblical, my fellow Foodies!
However, there are some practices in my own country’s cooking that were not necessarily healthy.
So, I found a way to cook my native foods in a way that was conducive to my plant-based lifestyle. This is a struggle I know that a lot of my friends go through.
How can they eat healthy and not abandon their native foods?
Whether you’re an American trying to cook more healthy Soul Food or an Immigrant who doesn’t want to abandon the food from your native country for a healthy way of eating.
Yes, I know there are some things we need to abandon!
Along with my new plant-based eating, I incorporate various healthy mind and body practices that helped turn things around for me, spiritually, physically and mentally. Being healthy is about treating the whole person.
“This is how La Pura Vida Sana was born.”
