Hi I’m Ari and I’m the Detox Coordinator here at Ananda Yoga Detox in Koh Phangan. I always share a bit of my background with people that come for a detox but I wanted to give more insight of who I am and how life got me on my detox journey.
Ever since I was little I used to have health issues like helicobacter pylori, hepatitis, was easily catching colds and flus and, as a teenager, I used to deal with depression, fatigue, rashes all over my skin, acne, chronic constipation, irritable bowel, candidiasis in my mouth & many food allergies. After years of struggling with conventional medicine & homeopathy I got myself well within 6 months by fasting and properly nourishing my body with living foods. I’ve been a raw vegan since 2023.
Now, I haven’t been sick a day in years & have been guiding people to eliminate tiredness, lack of mental clarity, poor energy, as well as other health challenge.
I strongly believe health is our birthright and the body knows exactly how to restore it when we get out of its way and create the right environment for healing.
The biggest health shifts I noticed were when I started water and juice fasting and doing colonics to cleanse the mucoid plaque. Shortly after seeing the impact of fasting on my body, I decided I wanted to understand more profoundly about my body and the world we’re living in and I enrolled in a mentorship programme led by an ambassador from the Hippocrates Health Institute based in Florida. Right from the beginning of the course, I applied everything that I was learning about holistic healing and optimal nutrition and living. I have put everything into practice on myself and after I overcame my health issues I continued to teach others about wellbeing practices such as grounding, breath work, fasting, exercise, yoga, pilates, food combining, raw living food, nature’s role in our health and the impact that modern practices such as 5G, pollution, synthetic clothing etc. has on the human body. The focus of the course I completed was on cleaning the colon through water and juice fasting paired with hydrocolon therapy and enemas.
I am a certified life coach and have guided people on their health journey to detoxify and implement juicing, fasting and raw living foods as well as practices such as yoga and breath work into their lives.
Besides my passion for helping people maximize their health, vitality, & overall level of functioning, I’m a nature enthusiast, a grower, an animal lover, a dancer, a daughter and a friend.
On my day off, I spend most of my time in the garden planting seeds, preparing the soil, composting, pruning fruit trees and, obviously, indulging in the organic produce I pick from the garden. Growing my own food and being connected with what I consume has always been important to me. Even when I was living in a tiny apartment in cold Romania I turned my office into a greenhouse where I was growing wheatgrass, microgreens and sprouts.
Transitioning to a high raw vegan diet and incorporating green juices after my detoxes helped me sustain the energy and I now live life according to holistic principles and seek harmony in every moment.
