At age 26, an inner urge led her to resign from her day job as a Radiographer, and pack her life in two suitcases in search of a fulfilling life with passion and purpose.Fast forward some years later - when she is not creating exciting wholesome meals or menus, she's with nature moving her body through yoga, trekking out to the rural farms around Thailand and teaching others to do the same. She is constantly fuelled by her love and passion for nutrition, organic farming, natural therapies and whipping up new delicious healthy menus. She's also a firm believer in the healing power of living harmoniously with nature - and that wellness is an active process of becoming aware of making choices toward a healthy, fulfilling and a Stellar life.Email: stella@stellawellness.comFacebook: http://fb.com/stellawellnessInstagram: @stella_wellnessRosalind YunibandhuFounder, Kitchen BackstoriesA curious flexitarian aspiring towards plant-based living, Rosalind founded Kitchen Backstories as a means to surface and share food stories that can help us develop a fuller understanding of the people, ingredients and traditions 'behind the plate'.
