My Story

by Vanessa Jaich

Over the past 14 years, I’ve immersed myself in the fields of yoga and nutrition. My path began in 2010 with my first teacher training, followed by a deeper dive into yin yoga and the co-founding of a yoga studio in Cape Town, South Africa.

In 2014, my travels to India became a turning point — I experienced a parasitic infection that triggered a long period of gut imbalance. What followed were years of navigating mental health challenges, skin conditions, and hormonal dysregulation. This initiated a deep, personal healing process that ultimately sparked my fascination with the gut–mind–hormone connection.

Over the years, I’ve worked extensively with clients with specialised dietary needs as a personal chef, yoga retreat chef, and running various nutritional cooking workshops. My focus has always been to guide people on a food journey—teaching the power of food as medicine while celebrating the joy and pleasure of real, nourishing meals. I’ve also worked as a consultant developing functional food and wellness products, including Formerly known as Haeckels in Margate (People Care. Planet Care ) where I created a seaweed broth and a beetroot probiotic drink. In addition, I’ve formulated white-label electrolyte blends and am currently collaborating on a range of health-focused products for a yoga school and café. This work reflects my passion for seasonal, traditional, and unprocessed ingredients that nourish both people and planet.

Alongside my consultancy work, I currently run an online clinic specialising in hormonal and gut health. I guide clients through a personalised 1:1 Inner Rewilding Programme, using functional testing, cyclical nutrition, and nervous system tools to help them reconnect with their inner rhythm and reset from within.
