Ever since I can remember, I have always had problems with food. When I was a teenager, I was completely anemic and weighed less than 40 kilos (88 lb). Later on, I suffered from hepatitis B and had to spend more than six months in bed. Luckily, I had the help of a very caring and dedicated allopathic doctor at the time, who recommended I abstain from eating meat and dairy products in order to recover and save my life. I won the battle! And very successfully so!

From then on, my goal has been to help people with serious health problems, and that is why, more than two decades ago, I created one of the first centers for alternative therapies and personal growth in Majorca, Bodhana, where I introduced Reflexology and Reiki on the islands. But after a few years, I was bedridden again. For 2 months I suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome and hyperglycemia and, once again, saved my life through food, this time with the macrobiotic diet.   Again I survived! After this experience I became a pioneer by expanding my range of activities and creating a massage center by the sea, on the beautiful beach of Illetas.

I continued my training, with many internationally renowned teachers within the realm of health and personal growth, and as re-birther and psychotherapist.During one of my training sessions in Virginia (USA), I bought a book by David Wolfe on raw food.  I had no idea what it was, but, I devoured the book in one single night and the next day I searched the Internet to find out more about this amazing concept. I don’t believe in coincidences, and when I learned that David Wolf was going to give a lecture in New York the following week, I was there listening to information which literally “blew the lid off my brains” and made a lot of sense to me:  “Cooked food is dead and raw food is life”.
