Hi, I am Preeti Shah
Being born and raised in a pure vegetarian family in Gujarat, following Jainism & healthy lifestyle, maintaining a healthy body came naturally to me at an early age.
A few years back, I shifted to Mumbai. After moving to a new city, I suddenly started facing respiratory issues, which kept increasing gradually, and mucus started accumulating in my lungs. Consulting various doctors became an endless and frustrating process lasting almost eight years. As they say, health and happiness go hand in hand; true to my experience, a financially independent and secure life was difficult to enjoy without a healthy body.
As a result, I was keen to search for an alternative therapy for my respiratory issues. I came across studies on Salt Therapy – a Complementary Drug-Free Therapy originating in Eastern Europe’s Salt Mines and Caves. Salt therapy is 100% natural, safe, and drug-free to cure various respiratory and skin ailments. Intending to impart the benefits of salt therapy, I started my Health and Wellness Venture – Plera Wellness Plus – a Salt Spa in Mumbai.
Needless to say that with salt therapy and a few lifestyle changes, my body started healing dramatically. Seeing the body’s power to heal with adequate support amazed me. And like a curious bug, I started diving deep into the body as a subject. I learnt about Integrative Nutrition, Gut Health, Hormonal Health & Eating Psychology. I also learned how to recover from chronic ailments like Heart Health, Diabetes, Cholesterol, Blood Pressure, Inflammation etc. I have continued my learning, and so far, I have realized;
“It is wise to say the body can heal by itself. We need to provide the body with the right ingredients in the form of nutrition, exercise, reduced stress, enough sleep, social life & laughter, work satisfaction, healthy relationships etc. And we can recover from any illness by making small shifts in our lifestyle.”
The situation I had undergone with my respiratory issues made me realize the added advantage of receiving the proper guidance, especially from healthcare providers, and it became the driving force behind my journey of becoming an Integrative Nutrition Health coach. I hand-hold my clients in making step-by-step, sustainable and easy-to-integrate lifestyle changes in their urge to recover from chronic ailments, live healthier, and follow a drug-free lifestyle in their hustle-bustle daily routine.
