About Flo

Ciao! I am Flaminia Ghigo, you can call me Flo. Welcome to my website and blog!

 My purpose behind the birthing of this website is to share my holistic lifestyle that helped me create a healthy body and life.

My life has transformed immensely since I decided years ago to take a leap of faith into holistic healing and began to broaden my knowledge beyond the common "1 size fits all" approaches of health and fitness.

After multiple encounters with health issues; chronic gut dysbiosis, metabolic dysfunctions, and all the hormonal imbalances in between, I reached a place where I knew there was more to health than "move more, eat less".. in fact, that approach of intense dieting and working out was the culprit to many of the imbalances that were to come. 

​

  Holistic methods of health-care restored my faith in the body's ability to achieve true health using nature as our provider. 

I believe our body thrives best when we care for it as a whole-mind, body, and spirit. 

The flourish in health blog gives insight into my practices and lifestyle including nutrition, my exercise regiment, mental health tools and more. I strongly believe all are equally important to maintain synergy. I look forward to providing you with plant-based recipes and natural science-based practices to support and restore your body from within.

I am here to help you improve your quality of life and flourish into YOUR best self. 

​

xoxo, Flo.
