Thank you 🌸
We’ve arrived to London and we can’t stop thinking how grateful we are for the time we shared with Kate, Cam & Indi.
This three angels appeared in our lives in a very random way. Of course the universe knew what was going on and that we were meant to be all together.
We’ve spent seven weeks together sharing mornings, hugs, talks, laughs, food, cacao ceremonies, retreats, walks, and learnings. But the most important thing is we shared LOVE.
We can’t thank you guys enough for all what you’ve done for us. We honestly appreciate every single thing!
We love you so much and we love being part of your family ❤️ Kate, Cam, Indi, Xander & Bella thanks for everything!!!
Of course we’ll be back, wherever you guys are we’ll see you💜
THANK YOU
THANK YOU
THANK YOU
Franco & Eli ☺️

MANIFESTATION ✨
One year ago we’ve decided to leave the house where were living. We sold everything and we only kept two suitcases, our cooking appliances & our bikes. Everything fits inside our car.
At the same time we started a business. Actually, The Plant Based Experience it’s something that has been in our minds for a long time and one year ago we were ready for it.
Our purpose is to share with people how to nourish themselves in many ways in order to create a constant feeling of well-being in their lives, through healthy food, exercise, breathing and meditation, healthy social connections and energy healing. That’s something we've been experiencing and want others to experience it too.
At the beginning we didn’t know how we were going to do this. We knew what we wanted, but we didn’t really know how. Also, as travellers we are, we wanted to be able to work while travelling . So we spent quite some time thinking and planning how we should grow our own business.
Until we realised that when we don’t try to control everything, the universe can play its part.
From September last year we’ve decided to accept the flow of the universe and the best things started to happen.
Way better than what we could dream of. Since then, we have been growing in the most amazing retreat with amazing humans, Cam & Kate that received us with so much love! We met so many people during this time, people who now became our family!! We cooked for them, talked and shared nutrition knowledge, we did energy healings, and the best part, we received beautiful compliments, hugs and love from all the work we do.
Sometimes we don’t really know if we are dreaming or if this is real. We are exactly where we are supposed to be, doing what we are supposed to do. Aligned with our life mission, creating consciousness and loving people. So, thanks universe for being so generous with us! We feel blessed 🙏
Thanks to everyone who’s been part of our journey and shared your love, nice words and hugs with us! We are so lucky to have you around ❤️
“Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life”
And this is just the beginning 🙌

Happy faces after some crying in the closing circle of the plant based immersion retreat.
One year ago when we started with this dream called THE PLANT BASED EXPERIENCE, we would never imagine what the universe had prepared for us. This is way much more than what we asked for.
The universe brought us the most amazing people, and the most meaningful way to share our passion.
We both have a purpose in this life and THE PLANT BASED EXPERIENCE is the way we found to make it happen. Lots of plant based food, cooking demonstrations, plant based nutrition workshops & reiki treatments were part of our weekend.
Thanks to Jeremy, Blaithin, George, Sorcha, Felicity, Matt, Rosie, Kate & Cam for being part of this amazing experience and for the unforgettable memories ✨
And thanks for all our virtual people that are always on the other side with us!
Trust the universe, it always knows better 💎
We love you ❤️❤️

Hi beautiful souls, my name is Eli and I am a Usui & Kundalini reiki master healer. I’ll be offering 60 minutes Reiki treatments at the award winning venue of Cape South Country Estate and Retreat Centre out near Waimarama in Hawkes Bay for the month of MARCH 2022.
I’m offering 60 minute Reiki treatments at this beautiful, highly charged location for $100 (including GST) or distance healing for $80.
During the Reiki session, I use both the Usui and Kundalini techniques for deeper healing and the best results.
Reiki is a gentle, vibrational healing practice that supports the body’s self-healing ability. It works in the energy field of the recipient. Universal energy is used to balance the life force energy. If one's life force energy is low, blocked, or out of balance, then we are more likely to get sick, feel stressed or be unhappy.
There are lots of benefits reported from reiki healing.
✨ Helps with stress reduction, relaxation & better sleep.
✨ Relieves physical pain, anxiety, depression & sadness.
✨ Clears the mind and improves focus.
✨ Enhances quality of life.
✨ Increases energy levels.
✨ Deepens connection with yourself and others.
✨ Balances the chakras.
✨ Promotes spiritual growth.
A Reiki treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around the recipient. It treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind, and soul creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, love, security, and wellbeing.
Some guest reviews -
“Eli is a true healer! I had a devine reiki session with her at Cape South in February and felt a complete sense of calm and relaxation immediately. Even a few weeks later I am still feeling peaceful and in flow with the world around me. I couldn’t recommend Eli enough.” Trish Kirkland-Smith
“Eliane is a gentle angel who possessess the power of healing with her reiki work. Love love LOVE.” Annie McCabe
“Eli’s reiki treatments are next level amazing. She is truly divine and her treatments hold such a fine gentle beauty that gave me a shift into a new dimension. I can truly recommend.” Kate McLeay

Are you a big fun of mushrooms? 🍄
Mushrooms are not only vital for the ecosystem as a natural recycler and helping detoxify environments from wastes we humans produce. They are loaded with phytochemicals that enhance the activity of natural killer cells, specialized immune cells that attack and destroy virus-infected and cancerous cells 💪
Enjoy them grilled in the BBQ with some kumara and cashews hollandaise on top like this beautiful portobello! ❤️

As a human beings, we are designed to eat fruits! Please don't believe old myths that fruits make you gain weight because they have fructose (sugar). It doesn’t work that way!
Fruits are rich in fibre, which helps digest food slowly and promotes a slow release of energy for us to thrive through our day.
Besides, they are mostly water to keep us hydrated, and are loaded with phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals to keep us healthy and disease free!
During flu/covid times you can protect yourself by pumping your vitamin C consumption, fruits are your best option to succeed!! ☺️💪
🍎🍐🍌🍉🍇🍓🍊🍋🫐🍍🥭🍑🍒🥥🥝
Como seres humanos, estamos diseñados para comer frutas! Por favor no creas en viejos mitos de que las frutas te hacen ganar peso porque tienen fructosa (azúcar). No funciona así!
La frutas son ricas en fibras, las cuales nos ayudan a digerir la comida más despacio y promueve la liberación lenta de energía a lo largo del día.
También, son en su mayor porcentaje agua, la cual nos mantiene hidratados, y están llenos de fitoquimicos, vitaminas y minerales que nos ayudan a estar saludables y sin enfermedades!
Durante tiempos de gripe/covid protégete aumentando tu consumo de vitamina C. La frutas son tu mejor opción!! ☺️💪

Why do we put seeds in our smoothie? 🧋
To answer all questions, we usually like to think about the most natural way of living.
We are designed to chew our food. Not only to brake it down and make it easier to swallow, but also because our saliva helps the digestive process and the absorption of nutrients.
Of course in the most natural way we wouldn’t have a blender to make smoothies. But as we love smoothies, we found putting some seeds or even some fruit pieces very useful to remind us we still need to chew our smoothie.
We hope you find this information useful and helps you have a better digestion. 🙌
•••
Por qué le ponemos semillas a nuestro batido? 🧋
Para contestar todas las preguntas, nos gusta pensar en la forma más natural posible.
Estamos diseñados para masticar nuestra comida. No solo para romperla y que sea más fácil tragarla, sino porque nuestra saliva ayuda con el proceso digestivo y la absorción de nutrientes.
Claro esta que en nuestro estado más natural no tendríamos una procesadora para hacer batidos. Pero como nosotros amamos los batidos, encontramos que poner semillas o pedazos de frutas, nos ayuda mucho a recordar que igual tenemos que masticar nuestro batido.
Esperamos que esta información te sirva y te ayude a tener una mejor digestión. 🙌

We are all here. Together. Sharing our space. Sharing the air we breathe. Sharing the water we drink. Sharing absolutely everything. We are all the same, under the same sky. In the same planet. Man, women. Young, old. Black, white. Rich, poor. Muslims, Jewish, Christians. America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania. Everything is part of the same universe. The only thing that is not the same is your own and unique light. Your signature in this world. Humanity is ready for higher vibrations. We are all ready for a massive awakening. Many many people in this planet are already awake, many others are transitioning. If you feel something else is there waiting for you, you are right. It is! You just need to connect. Start connecting with yourself. Connect with nature. Stay away from things that are not natural. You have a huge support ready waiting to help you. You will be guided. Stay open for the signals. Suddenly everything will make sense. And you’ll be awake. You’ll be the light in the darkness.

Are you still doubting about a plant-based diet?
Here is some info to help dissipate doubts!
* Our body makes all the cholesterol required and plants don’t have any cholesterol. It is only found in animal products.
* Our body relies on Vitamin C consumption from food sources to properly function and plants are loaded with this vitamin to cover our needs.
* Our body needs antioxidants to delay the ageing process and plants are packed with them!
Plants are truly amazing and have everything we need to thrive and live healthy while feeling great. Of course, everybody is different and we digest foods in different ways. So the key is to get involved with your body needs and feelings and learn what’s good for yourself.
