A little bit about Catalina, in her own words.

Hi, I am Catalina and originally I am from Colombia. 7 years ago, I moved to Vancouver where I studied holistic nutrition.

Since I was a kid, I was interested in the topic of health. My father studied medicine, he was constantly reading and talking about the latest developments in the world of health and well-being. In our household, a lot of attention was paid to what we cooked and ate.

But when I moved to Canada, my eating habits changed, and not in a good way – I was not eating healthy and I was gaining weight. Being not happy with myself, I made a decision to change the situation. I got interested in holistic nutrition, which became my biggest passion.

What goal are you trying to achieve with @thefashionholistic?

I want my recipes to help people learn about the benefits of various foods and the relationship between what we eat and our health. I aim to inspire people to make educated decisions about what they eat.
From my own experience, I know that everyone can improve their eating and exercise habits. Also, eating healthy doesn’t mean just eating greens all the time!
