What’s your food story?
Do you know anyone who has and always had a healthy relationship to food?
I don’t think I know one single person who does not have a traumatic story to tell when it comes to food and eating habits.
This might seem natural, as our lives depend on food, but none of the people I’m thinking of ever had to struggle to survive because there wasn’t enough nutritious food around.
The complicated relationship many of us have to food comes from a complicated relationship to nourishment and care, and so how well we learned to take care of ourselves, shows in how well we can nourish ourselves with food.
The overall picture is always visible in every detail, this way we can see our relationship to care when we look at our relationship to food.
So if we would like to develop a better relationship to food and create healthier eating habits, we need to begin to look at how we want to treat ourselves.
However, no matter what our personal food story is – food and eating are an essential part of our lives and take up a good part of each day: we need to buy or grow what we wish to eat, prepare it and then consume it.
But how do we do this in the best possible way?
As I see it, we have two choices here:
We can nourish and feed ourselves in a way that is fun, easy and healthy.
We can nourish our bodies, energize ourselves and fuel our brains and actions with our food.
The other option is to see food and eating as something difficult, something that overwhelms us, something we feel insecure about, something stressful.
Maybe we do half-and-half, and are somewhere in the messy middle.
But a little complicated is still complicated.
If you want to get out of seeing this as something complicated and make your relationship to food more fun, light and easy, then you’re invited to join us for this chapter in the CREATRIX School.
We will look at what science of teaches us about food, as well as what ancient wisdom has to say, and look at how we can put this knowledge into action without taking up all our days.
And we will also look at how we think and feel about food and nourishment to clear the blockages that might have prevented us from a healthy food routine so far.
It’s the new way to live, and this is your invitation to a healthier and more joyful life!
Do you find it difficult to keep up a healthy food routine?
Is it time to create healthier eating patterns?
Would you like to know what really nourishes you and supports your life?

If anyone can learn this, why don’t they?
Because many people don’t believe that they have the power to change their lives.
Even if they haven’t even tried — yet. Or because they’ve tried it in ways that didn’t work for them, as they likely wanted too much too fast – or didn’t dare enough.
There’s a certain comfort in not taking full responsibility for the situation we’re in, by blaming our circumstances, upbringing or current world events – and believing that it’s not up to us to create the changes we need and seek.
But if we want to create changes, it’s always up to us to start – and if we initiate a positive change once, we also know we can do it again.
The CREATRIX School invites you to find out for yourself, that you have the power to change anything you don’t like about your life, by giving you the right exercises to try and see for yourself, what else could be possible if you dare to be your true and authentic self.
It’s revolutionary, yet also very practical and down to earth.
And it’s not like you will not eventually be able to figure this all out by yourself, it might just take you a lot longer. So if you want guidance and get going now, this is for you.
I’d be happy to gracefully guide you through the process of your self-actualization, and to make this journey as easy, fun, exciting, surprising and successful for you, as possible.
Because I’ve just went through a lot of these changes myself.
From my experience, I know that, to create the changes, we wish for in our lives, we have to begin by taking full responsibility for our thoughts and actions and start being honest with ourselves.
From here we can find our own unique ways to be ourselves, to laugh, to love, to learn, to open up and to enjoy trying something and failing at it, as much as we enjoy mastering it.
Everything in life happens for us, not to us.
Every experience, everything we try and fail at, helps us to learn and grow and be better next time.
Because, as humans, that’s what we are here on earth for:
To grow and to learn, and to show and share our unique gifts and beauty, so we can contribute to the whole in our own unique ways and for the highest good for all.
If we begin to recognize our purpose and see our journey through life as a self-actualization journey, that will eventually allow us to be our highest, truest, most relaxed and abundant qu_ing self, it also allows us to open up to joy and love and abundance in our lives a bit more every day.
Anyone can do this, really – and it can even be a lot of fun.
But it can also be hard work, to face our shadows and begin to transform them into light.
And to do this confidently and continuously until we reach true inner peace might take some practice and encouragement, which can be difficult to bring up on your own.
Most people simply don’t know where to begin or what to do exactly, or don’t have the money to work with a personal coach or teacher on these topics individually.
Which is precisely why I founded the CREATRIX School.
This way, I can guide you through every step you need to take to get to where you want to go and bring clarity, confidence, joy, relaxation, abundance and playfulness into every area of your life – without having to pay full price for a personal coach.
Yet with the same success.
As every good coach will tell you, we are here to ask you the right questions, the answers you will always have to find for yourself.
And you do already have the answers.
You just haven’t taken the time, or had the right guide, or the confidence, to ask them and to listen for your answers.
But this can all change right now.
Is this the right course for you?
You have everything it takes to live the life your soul desires, that makes you happy and fulfils you.
And the more you recognize and live that truth or knowing, the more confident you will become in walking your unique path, and the more balanced your life will become.
To live a fulfilled, happy and successful life, we each have to ask ourselves some questions and find our unique answers to them.
These questions have been asked again and again by wisdom seekers all around the world in all centuries of human history, and are as easy or as difficult as: “Who am I? Why am I here?”
Or: “What do I need to eat to be healthy?”
Or, as we will see in this chapter: “How can I use my thoughts, beliefs and actions to create a relationship to food that enhances my quality of life?”
And now it’s your turn to ask yourself these questions so you can walk through life having your own answers and with this knowing build a deep-rooted confidence and the understanding that you belong here and are exactly right as you are.
Once you have answered these questions for yourself and by yourself (though with guidance I provide for you in the CREATRIX School), you will find peace and calm and a sense of safety and clarity, that is difficult to imagine possible before you do.
Other people’s opinions, guidance and wisdom can be great and super helpful, but they never match your unique situation 100%, and so no guidance will ever be as good as the one you find within.
The trust, wisdom and confidence I experience now is something I wouldn’t have dared to imagine possible before I started my own self-actualization journey.
Real freedom, confidence & success are possible – for anyone who dares to look within and try new ways.
I feel incredible now, but I was pretty insecure, doubtful and unhappy in my past.
Without that past, however, I wouldn’t be here now – I wouldn’t know what it takes to get here and what kind of change is possible.
I’ve learned a lot because of the hardships I endured in my past, especially from the most difficult parts.
Today, I am genuinely happy about everything that has happened in my life, even the challenges that hurt really bad.
With every hurdle I overcame, new powers emerged and with every valley I crossed, the horizon opened up and showed me new options.
Today, I truly enjoy every step I take because I know it is and will continue to be worth it.
And I’d love for you to be able to develop this sense of ease and joy about everything that happens in our lives as well, because we are all here to explore, learn and grow and not to have it all figured out already.
If you believe new opportunities are waiting here for you, if you’d like to start building a deep-rooted trust in yourself and your abilities – then this is the right course for you.
All you have to do is get started.
Isn’t it selfish to focus on myself?
Especially when there are other people out there who are struggling much more?
If you ask this question, aren’t you struggling yourself?
Don’t you find it difficult to sleep peacefully at night because you worry about your personal situation and/or the state of the world?
The thing is, we can only safely reach out a hand to other people if we stand strong ourselves.
It’s the same reason why we are told to put an oxygen mask on ourselves first, before we help others – because if we don’t have air, or energy or love, or food, or hope to sustain ourselves, we cannot inspire and support other people – sustainably.
Equally, we can only create a better and more equal world, if we ALL have access to all the resources we need to live free, happy and abundant lives.
It’s why I will always encourage you to share everything you learn in the CREATRIX School with other people.
Sharing what you’ve learned deepens your knowledge and holds you accountable, and it opens doors for others to see things in a new and more self-empowered way.
If we think that we can or need to change the opinion of others to create change – we enter into a frustrating and often violent game – and, most of the time, cause more damage than good.
If, however, we live what we preach and set an example, show other people how it can be done, we are so much more likely to succeed.
The undeniable truth is, that to create change on the larger scale, we always have to start with ourselves – we have to be the change.
If we are strong, we can act powerfully, if we know how to be healthy, we can share that knowledge with others, if we love ourselves, we can share and give and receive love freely.
By embodying what we wish for, sharing what we have and giving freely, all that we want more of, can multiply indefinitely.
So, to create the change we wish for, we can only start by meeting our own needs first.
If we want to help other people, we have to know how to take care of ourselves.
Looking at it this way, we can realize that it’s never selfish to learn how to take good care of ourselves.
Everybody can have their dream job, live in their dream home and experience peace and joy – we just don’t all know how yet.
The reason why we have wars, exploitation, hate, fear, devastation, sickness, is because the people involved in these actions, don’t know how to solve things peacefully.
They are ruled by their egos.
But we, you and me, have a choice.
We can side with them, take sides, hate one and love the other – and with that continue to keep up a system that thinks killing, discrimination or exploitation of others can be justified – or we can feel helpless in the face of all the devastating things going on in the world, and so overwhelmed that we ignore it altogether or break down and become depressed.
Or we can choose to strengthen ourselves, to gently overcome our ego and begin to live a life in service for the highest good of all.
Which option do you think will bring the best results for you and all those whose lives you touch?
We can each make a start and begin to learn what it takes to live in peace with ourselves so that we can also live peacefully with other people.
Once we’ve found our purpose, our calling, our strength, our power, our unique gifts, we can share our knowledge and experiences with confidence so that, over time, all people who are interested and ready, will have access to the knowledge and can learn to live self-actualized, happy, healthy and successful lives.
In the end, it is up to each one of us to decide if it’s time to start living a life in which we can fully become ourselves, develop all our skills and ideas and grow with ease to live a life that matches our desires – and with that contribute to the well-being of all, or not.
No one will stop you, from becoming your true self, but you.
If you let other people and their opinions or judgement hold you back, it will not make you or them any happier or help you or them.
But if you want to begin changing your life for the better and inspire others to do the same – because they will see you change and shine and thrive, then you now have the opportunity to join the CREATRIX School, to bring peace, clarity, confidence, joy and abundance into every area of your life.
And you can easily find out if this is the right thing for you, by taking advantage of the free 30-day trial.
Do you want to begin living more joyfully and peacefully?
Is now the best time to start?
You will know that now is the right time to start creating a sacred kitchen and developing a food routine that really nourishes you when you are done being confused about what to eat and how and would like to know how you can once and for all find a food routine that is healthy, fun, nourishing and tasty.
Now is the right time, to open this chapter in the CREATRIX School, and in your life, if you want to bring clarity, confidence and connection into your life and your kitchen and not feel stressed out about what to eat and how.
Now is the right time, if you would like to base your life and your meals on love, on understanding, on trust and if you’d like to be able to deal with whatever comes up feeling empowered and able to handle it, instead of insecure, or intimidated.
To dare to change something that we’ve been doing a certain way for as long as we remember might seem scary or challenging.
Yet, I dare you to try, as it is very possible to change things, and it is very freeing to feel empowered in a situation, that you thought you could not change.
Excuses as to why now is not the right time will always come up, but they are just what they are: EXCUSES.
In the end, the sooner you start to create a life according to your soul’s desire and align your body, mind and soul for your highest good and that of all, the sooner you will be able to fully enjoy your life as well.
So, let me give this question back to you:
Is it time for you to live in a way that nourishes you and makes you feel safe, happy, loved and at ease?
Is it time to start creating a sacred kitchen and eating well, with minimal extra effort, for the rest of your life?
Then, yes, this is the very best time.
Am I the right guide for you?
Hi, I’m Verena, the founder of the CREATRIX School and the Generous Life Movement, and I’d love to be your guide on your self-actualization journey.
I actually started my own self-actualization journey by changing my food and sleep-routine, and my relationship to food has been incredibly complicated most of my life.
I remember how I thought I was lucky that I could eat anything, and never really had any stomach troubles, before I started to change what I eat.
Looking back, I really want to hug my old self. I had absolutely no idea.
It turned out, that up to that point, I simply never felt good.
I love eating and sharing food. I baked this bread, I made the burger patty from flowers and I grew some of the salad in my garden – but I used to think food had to come from the supermarket to be ‘real food’.
Before I started to change my food routine and eating habits, I did not know HOW GOOD I could feel with the right food and how my old normal would become something I’d never ever want to experience again.
I had stomach cramps all my life, or at least for as long as I remembered.
Maybe this started when I had a phase of anorexia, and really wanted to feel bad, maybe not, I just know that I had completely forgotten what it feels like to have a stomach that’s at peace.
And I didn’t even start to change my eating habits because I wanted to do something for myself (as I really did not think anything was wrong), I was just annoyed that my partner complained about food all the time and wanted to eat healthy, but couldn’t tell me what that meant for them.
So, I started to read about Ayurveda, began to take some supplements, changed the times I ate and also began to follow a few other easy food rules, which I’m excited to share with you in this course.
Because it does not have to be complicated to live a healthy, happy and joyful life.
And I am happy to open up for what’s to come.
I love doing research, so I didn’t stop with Ayurveda.
I read and watched and listened to anything I could get my fingers on when it came to healthy eating, and I tried plenty of different things myself because I recognized that I had a lot to learn here.
And not just a lot to learn, but also so much to gain from feeling well and confident in what I’m doing.
It’s a really fascinating topic, really.
People can live super healthy lives with a meat and blood-based diet, with a vegan or vegetarian diet, with a carb or with a protein-based diet.
When people researched who had the healthiest gut microbes or who lived the longest, there wasn’t really anything in the diet that all these people or groups had in common – other than that they ate as little to no processed food.
So I’m not going to be promoting any special diet in this chapter of the CREATRIX School, you will have to make your own choices there, according to your needs, what’s available to you and what you enjoy – because that is the next important point: How you feel about your food and what you eat matters.
How so, I’ll tell you in more detail in the course.
Because there is so much to discover here. We’ll talk about mindful eating and how we can create a sacred kitchen, so we can really heal our relationship to food.
We’ll explore what we need to feel confident and to begin to show our love for ourselves, for others and for food through what we eat and how.
The process to get there might be painful for a second, like ripping off a band-aid/plaster, and then it takes some patience and healing to get in the groove, but after it, you will also feel fresh and renewed and like you’d never want to go back.
I’m not saying it is going to be easy to come to a great and healthy and loving and nourishing relationship with food and that it doesn’t require some allowing and the bravery to change things, but I promise you that you won’t regret it.
I’ve entered on my journey to become who I am now because I just wanted to be a little bit healthier and happier.
And so I began to look for ways to be that, which quickly turned into a couple of years of research and training.
I have an M.A. in cultural anthropology and political sciences, so how people work in this world has always been my main point of interest.
If you’re interested in my formal qualifications, then you can find them on the about page.
But what I found out in the last couple of years of research, and what I didn’t learn at University, is, that with just a few specific changes in the way we think and act, everything in our lives can change for the better – and this is true for anyone who is willing to be honest with themselves and who is not afraid of change.
We can all live abundant, happy and healthy lives – all we have to do for this is to find out how and then practice it – and the how is waiting right here for you in the CREATRIX School.
We all need to learn how to allow ourselves to eat well – because it is essential for everything else.
And we do that by creating a healthy relationship with ourselves, tuning in to our desires and inner knowing, becoming more confident and loving and, most importantly, by allowing ourselves to receive and enjoy.
So if you are looking to be better resourced, open, receptive and relaxed so that you can become all you can possibly be (and a lot more than you might now allow yourself to be now) then I’d be happy to guide you through this process of self-actualizing, becoming your best self, or your qu_ing self and begin to live the life, you know you are meant to live and open up to live and love fully and freely.
And I can’t wait to welcome you to the CREATRIX School and to invite you to our wonderful community of people who dare to be generous, happy and free!
