As a 26 year old woman and mother, well-being and overall health is one of my greatest passions. Through the years I have experienced how much of a positive impact mindful living and eating whole foods has on these aspects.

When we simply return to the basics, we can feel empowered by nature. So we allow ourselves to live authentically and start glowing from the inside out.

MY OWN STORY

To start off: my own body and skin have not always feel healthy at all. When I quit taking birth control back in 2021, my whole skin started to break out heavily. Nothing seemed to work and I struggled with bad skin for months. 

Looking back on this period now, my bad skin actually opened a door for me to dive deeper into my own daily habits. Back then I was only 21 years old and not living consciously at all.

So I got more interested in overall Well Being connected to the power of nature. After gaining more knowledge, I also started to clean op my diet. Stopped eating ultra-processed foods and came back to simple whole foods most of the time. Slowly but surely my skin started to look better, my body became more fit, but to me even more importantly: I started to FEEL better in my whole being.

BACK TO NATURAL

Because I started to feel better, I also felt less urge to change my natural appearance. And trust me, this has been such a journey to me. Since I was about 18 years old I used to wear lots of make-up every single day. I am naturally warm blonde, but died my hair and brows darker and darker. Almost into black and wore dark fake lashes and acrylics all the time.

Unconsciously I had created this layer around my true authentic self. Feeling far disconnected from who I really was and who I still am today. But this battle against Mother Nature was one I never wanted or could win. So slowly I stopped doing so much to myself. I started seeing the wholeness of all beings and I even found beauty in imperfections I used to hide. 

Along this journey I started Fra Mundo with my mother, sister and brother. A natural self care brand with natural products. All hand made with time care and love by my mom. Fully powered by nature.

FIRST PREGNANCY AT THE AGE OF 24

To be completely honest with you, when I became pregnant with our daughter, I also felt a little worried at first. As much as I always loved to become a mother, I also felt some fear about how my body would look like after pregnancy. 

But during my second trimester I actually decided to get out of my head and fully trust the strengths of the woman body. And shifting my mindset actually made space to even enjoy my very first pregnancy. 

This is also exactly the way how I came back to my "old" body after pregnancy. By simply maintaining my life style.

FOCUS ON THE FEELING!

For my whole life style I always come back to the feeling. I want to feel good and energised in my body. So I have lots of energy during my days. Which I can use for everything I stand for and desire in this precious life. 

 Since giving birth to our daughter I have written 4 guides (available as e-books on your phone) on how to life a healthy, sustainable and loving life style. Including delicious  healthy recipes to easily make at home.

Hopefully my guides can in someway inspire you to take good care of yourself. And remind you to connect with your own love an light again.

With all my love,
