About Thyme with Tina
Hi There,
I’m Valentina, but most of my friends know me as Tina.
I’m the cheerful soul who’s here to bring you all the vegan goodness and interesting stories on this blog.
My passion for healthy living started 10 years ago, back when I was navigating the maze of Uni life. It was then that I first got into the world of nutritious eating, well, kinda. I did live on gummy bears a certain period of my university life 🙂
After moving to London and getting my Nutrition advisor diploma, I spent a good chunk of my free time experimenting with food, collecting wholesome recipes, and helping people make better food choices. You could say I’ve made it my mission to help you embrace a diet that you genuinely love and make it into a lifestyle more than a chore.
Why vegan?
Due to health issues such as IBS, high cholesterol and anaemia from a young age, I was desperate for a dietary change. I began my journey as a vegetarian and, six months later, decided to go fully vegan. It’s been over seven years now, and I feel better than ever, physically and mentally. The knowledge that no animals are being harmed for my pleasure is profoundly rewarding, and I’ve chosen to share this experience with you to help you discover the same sense of fulfilment.
Moreover, being vegan has motivated me to go further and embrace a more mindful approach to living and taking care of my mind and body. Besides embracing intuitive eating and focusing on my eating habits, in the past three years, I found a way to work on my mindset and heal my emotional side through journaling and meditation. it’s one of the most profound ways to meet yourself and work through your challenges and triggers.
