Her inspiration for her businesses was driven from traveling the United States extensively, studying nutrition, vegan food, health and wellness.

But she didn’t stop there, her undying passion for wellness continued at Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida, where she completed the Life Transformation Program. A program designed to help one identify the benefits of a holistic and balanced lifestyle. Her journey in American consisted of raw, vegan chef training and dining at many raw food restaurants….the inspiration flowed and from this, her café was conceived!
