- How did you discover Vega?
- Was introduced to Vega after reading Brendan Brazier's Thrive Diet book.
- Tell us a little more about yourself
- Physical activity and healthy living was a norm growing up which naturally inspired me to pursue a career in the wellness industry. While venturing in the world of personal training and group fitness, I had the pleasure to train and compete in Sport Aerobics. After a successful series of competitive seasons that included winning the National Championship in 1999, I shifted gears towards the path of Yoga.
I became a certified Yoga Teacher in 2002 and, during this transition, decided to complement my teachings with additional studies in Kinesiology and Health Sciences at UBC. Striving to share my passion for Yoga, I was inspired in 2004 to co-create MyYogaOnline.com, which has grown to become the leading global resource for online yoga videos.
Through this transition into Yoga, switching to a plant-based diet was a welcomed change and a primary element to my personal practice. I discovered Vega products several years back and they have become a daily staple in maintaining ideal whole health nutrition. I was particularly inspired by Brendan’s discussions on alkaline diets in his book The Thrive Diet. Alkaline nutrition has become my ‘side-passion’ exploring the various foods and cooking techniques to acquire this level of nutritional awareness. I strongly feel, that with Vega products being part of my regular nutritional routine, I have more energy, a stronger immune system, and overall better sense of well-being. I thank the team at Vega for putting together such a powerful, integrity-filled line of products that benefit one’s health and the environment.

Vega-fied Coconut Energy Truffles
Finding healthy alternatives to snacking and killing sweet cravings has become my passion. By settling into a meal program that has significantly reduced processed sugars, I have found that traditional commercial snacks and treats are often sickly sweet in taste.
