GG combines her Photography career, media experience, travel writing and story

telling skills with her love ​of wellness and vegan food to bring this site PURE to life.
 

While on assignment travelling to some of the world's best Health Hotels &
Retreats over the last 12 years, to review their wellness programs she learned
about the healing power of raw food, juicing and fasting. 
Soon after she began living on a raw food diet which lead to her own personal
health transformation alleviating long standing digestive issues and food allergies. 

During a detox retreat in Thailand she was introduced to Yoga and Meditation
practices which boosted her health to the next level. She found a new sense of
balance, clarity, inner peace and fulfillment unlike anything she had ever
experienced and her creativity soared.

 

This sparked a whole new mission and purpose to learn everything she could
about using food to heal the body and mind and elevate health naturally
and the correlation between what we eat and how it impacts our minds. 

Having spent extensive time interviewing Raw vegan chefs, holistic practitioners,
yoga and meditation teachers on her travels and fueled by her new passion in
Plant based food this inspired her to become certified in preparing advanced
Raw Vegan Cuisine through Plant Lab Culinary Academy in California,

founded by Matthew Kenney.

 

Creating delicious, vibrant and nutritious plant based recipes and Juices is one of her
passions and sharing this creativity and knowledge in a supportive community to help 
empower, inspire and educate others.
