Meet Vicky, a naturopathic nutritional therapist and island-based resident here on Ibiza.
Vicky has committed the last 8 years to becoming healthier, happier and more conscious of what she eats due to a previously very demanding career and hectic schedule, which was draining her both mentally and physically.
After suffering from hormonal migraines and high blood pressure whilst working in the television industry for 22 years, Vicky set upon a total mind, body and spirit overhaul to create a better work/life balance.
She now creates regulatory meal plans for her clients and has provided one of them for you to cook at home.
