I had been vegetarian for a few years moving away from animal products, primarily because of my health although compassion for other sentient beings added wait to my decision. On 6 June 2012, I got invited to speak at a festival called Venus love to celebrate the transit of Venus. It was here I met my partner who already was a vegan and had been so for the past 15 years. A few weeks later, I was vegan, although not a healthy vegan diet I must say. This came a year or so later at the birth of our daughter and what clinched the healthy vegan push was that we didn't want to model unhealthy food habits to our daughter, wanting to give her the best nutritional start we possibly could. Slowly but surely one challenge at a time out when the bread, out went the pasta, out with the sugar, out when the bad fats. Since making that switch a couple of years in, I was looking for changing career, I made the decision I wanted to retrain, possibly something in the health industry as I had already done a significant amount of research in that sector, after a couple of days of searching for something different. My partner's inbox received an email about the idea of becoming a health coach. I must admit I never heard of a Health coach before, so after finding out it as much as I possibly could I made a decision, I would make health my career and help other people to achieve a healthy lifestyle to meet their full health potential. Five years on and I'm still at it, both online and in-person small groups and focused one to ones.
