BY MILA HYMAN / FOOD PHOTOGRAPHER + STYLIST BASED IN DUBAI
Hi, I'm Mila!
HOLISTIC HEALTH COACH + FOUNDER OF THE GREEN SAGE
I'm a multi-passionate Gemini who loves everything food and health related! From local organic produce, paging through inspiring cookbooks and creating healthy plant-based recipes, to styling and photographing beautiful dishes! But most of all, I love how food brings people together to share feasts, laughs and memories!...oh, and did I mention its incredible ability to nourish and heal!? Yup, food is amazing!
In the search for answers to heal myself, I became a Certified Health Coach specialising in integrative nutrition and a holistic approach to wellness.
In mid-2020 I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer and have since been on an incredible healing journey of the mind, body and soul, recovering from cancer and chemotherapy. You can find out more about my story HERE.
AS A HOLISTIC HEALTH COACH I WANT TO EMPOWER YOU TO BECOME AN EXPERT ON YOURSELF!
I want to help you uncover the cause of symptoms and offer support and guidance so you can heal and make lasting food and lifestyle changes.
I want you to have the health, happiness and life you truly love and deserve!
MY HEALTH JOURNEY
For most of my life, I thought digestive issues, menstrual problems from cramps to PCOS, acne, yeast infections, fatigue, highs and lows, headaches, sleeping problems, anxiety and mood swings were all "normal" and a part of life!
Then, about five years ago, I hit rock bottom! My body had enough, and it was screaming for help!
I was experiencing an array of unusual symptoms, chronic dizzy attacks, hypersensitivity, nausea, etc. I couldn't go out to crowded places or even a restaurant for fear of it triggering another attack. And as if that wasn't enough to deal with, I broke out with the worst adult acne! I was a complete mess!
I saw every doctor and specialist you can imagine. I did all sorts of tests and scans, and guess what? No one could explain my symptoms or give me a diagnosis. Believe it or not, they all said my test results were normal and that I was perfectly healthy!!!
I felt completely lost, helpless and frustrated. Like my body had failed me! Like the healthcare system had failed me!
It was then that I realised that doctors don't always have the answers and that medicine isn't always the cure.
It was time for me to step into my power and take responsibility for my health and my life!
BECOMING A HEALTH COACH
AND HELPING OTHERS
And so began my journey of self-healing and the reason why I enrolled with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). In my search for answers, I wanted to learn about health and wellness. To better understand holistic health, healing the body, mind and spirit.
More importantly, I wanted to learn how to heal myself, connect to the wisdom and healing power within me, and help empower so many others who are feeling lost and not getting the support and answers they so desperately need.
One of the most important things I've learnt is that being healthy is not just about the food on your plate. Food is medicine, but so is having a healthy balanced lifestyle, including having good relationships, having joy in your life, doing what you love, being active, spending more time outdoors, and having a spiritual practice…
My mission is to share what I've learned and package it into a much simpler, easier and more supportive way so you can get the answers and results you want!
