My Spiritual Path

My spiritual path began when I made the connection to the fact that eating animals or anything that came from an animal did not align with my beliefs, ethics or values. Meat has always seemed unpleasent to me, I never liked the texture and it even made me very sick with food poisoning when I was younger.

After I had spent five years studying nutrition and dietetics at university I had hoped I would know everything there was about nutrition, but I felt confused on why we had to recommend dairy, eggs and meat to patients.So I started to do my own research once I completed university.What I found was shocking! There was an incredible amount of evidence-based research on the benefits of a whole foods plant-based diet and even a vegan lifestyle. Once that made sense to me, I began to follow plant-based physicians and dietitians all over the world. Then it was time to look at the process animals endure to end up on our supermarket shelves and this is what broke me.

The footage of how these animals labeled as ‘livestock’ were treated disgusted me. How was this legal? Why was nobody doing anything about this? If someone did this to a dog or a horse there would be uproar but because they were going to be killed nobody seemed to care. I followed animal activists and begain to watch the really uncomfortable documentaries such as Dominion, Earthlings and Black Fish. There was no way I could support this cruelty. My heart burst open and I felt such a empathy, and responsibility for these beautifuls sentient beings.

I had found my niche and went vegan right then and there. That was 8 years ago and I have not died of a protein deficiency (I literally get asked about protein daily). There is such a misconception of veganism that it’s just salads and bland food but it’s completely untrue, and protein is found in all foods so no need to worry about that!

This connection to all beings really began my awakening and my path to spirituality and being of service to the animals and humankind. I now write books, share this site and help peopl transition to a plant-based lifestyle. I also offer soul contract readings which is the melding of both science and spirituality together to help people gain health, wellbeing and direction in their life.
