Detox pancake recipe & a success story!

Hi there beauties:) So I’m here in Mexico (again) and I just got done running an AMAZING VIP detox for a stunningly beautiful woman named Minerva! Minerva was Hands down one of my absolute favorite clients to ever do my detox program! Miss Minerva I like to call her! A wife, mother World traveler and speaker of truth!!! I love and adore this woman & wish she was my next door neighbor! 

To love what you do for a living is to have peace in your heart!!! This woman was sent from above and will forever be etched inside of my heart!!! Enjoy the photos of her retreat along with two versions of pancakes I know she will be whipping up! 

Miss Minerva’s 3 day detox VIP retreat!

Let the 3 day detox begin!

 

After a guided super market tour and a trip to trade in toxic cosmetics for paragon free goods! YAY! Minerva is 100% a girly girl! She LOVES all things about being a woman! 

The beautiful Minerva and I stayed out a bit too late after our trip to the grocery!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Waiting on my new favorite girl to get her colonic:) I was eating blueberries in the lobby while Miss Minerva was getting “cleaned out”!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Before she left, I took her a fresh coconut and made her a salad with organic soy-free tofu made from hemp! She loved it and I call that healthy travel food!!! 

 

Minerva left her 3 day detox GLOWING even more than when she walked in! I wrote about fears I was having prior to her coming that taught me a valuable lesson! The following is what I wrote on my Facebook wall after meeting this beautiful woman! 

Beautiful both inside and out!

“Today I had a VIP guest fly in from Texas to do a three day detox here in San Diego. As I went to greet her at the resort, I was a bit nervous. The truth is, as I’ve been speaking to her on the phone the past few months she reminded me a lot of myself. I’m not exactly easy to please and was beginning to fear if I would live up to her expectations.

I spent about an hour and a half with her and then returned this evening to teach her class. Within minutes she opened up to me and invited me to open up to her. Much like the last guest I had a month ago…I fell in love with her kind loving heart! Not only is she beautiful on the outside but also on the inside too!

On the drive home I began thinking “yes…we are a lot a like!” We are both “high maintinance women” with HUGE giving, loving honest hearts! Heck I’m proud to call myself “HM” for the first time in my life! To me high maintenance only means you demand people give you their very best and do the same for others! I’ll take that title ANY day of the week!

Today was a beautiful day of two women from different cultures, different up bringing and different lives coming together to share, love and to heal!

 I am forever blessed to be able to LOVE what I do!”

Another heart centered week at Alkalize With Andrea detox cleansing retreats!

Waiting for my guests to arrive at the #1 health spa in the Country!

Ten years ago today I binged and purged for the last time. I had moved back home with my mother after a ten year relationship failed. I was modeling for department stores and fitness magazines and returned home from work to an empty house. She was at my sisters for the weekend. After eating every single thing I could get my hands on I found myself (once again) on the bathroom floor head in the toilette. I asked God to help me and he did I told God I knew there was a reason for my eating disorder and that I was ready for him to show me what that reason was! That was the last time I ever found myself having the desire to throw up my food! That next week I met a girl who re-introduced me to the lord! It was magical! Three years later I wrote Raw-lic-ous a recipe book that told the story of my struggle and how I healed it through live food. Five years later I moved to California and started my business!

This past week another addition to this beautiful story called “life” occurred!I hadn’t even scheduled a retreat at all over the Holiday! I actually had miss calculated the dates (a first!)! 

They came from London and Japan/Chicago to detox over Christmas!

Guided super market tour on Christmas eve!

Some how two women from the opposite ends of the World with one common problem reached out to me! They both wanted to detox over the Christmas Holiday! Out of it…The Absolute BEST Christmas ever was born♡♡♡

Praise God on this day for allowing me to finally realize this past week what my struggle was for all along.Thank you Lord for blessing me with an eating disorder a decade ago so that I can help others heal from their eating issues! I wouldnt trade it in for anything else! SO much healing this week! I Love what I do♡♡♡ So incredibly rewarding!

I LOVED cleansing Yukiko from Japan and Lucinda from London! Such a great week spent at the #1 health spa in the Country! Just another reason to be thankful this Holiday! Life can change so very quickly! Count your blessings! There is more to come for all of us Merry Christmas!

Feeling blessed on Christmas night!
