My name is Danniella and I am the founder of The Highly Flavoured Kitchen!

I am a 35-year-old mother to two daughters. In 2015, after 1 year of suffering the most excruciating pain I have ever felt in my life daily, I was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, a widespread chronic pain illness which is incurable. I had to stop working, I couldn’t walk without

crutches or someone accompanying me, I could cook, clean my house or even dance to the

music I loved so much anymore, my life had been taken away from me. I began to get depressed

and due to being confined to my house, I began to read up on meditation, mindfulness, natural

remedies, alkaline diets from Dr Sebi and ancient medicine such as Ayurveda that promotes the

use of essential oils and herbs and plant medicine. That was when I discovered my love for

essential oils. I started with buying Lavender for the nights I could not sleep from the pain,

Frankincense to burn when I was meditating and Eucalyptus, known for its anti-inflammatory

properties. I added it to my daily moisturiser and my bath. I noticed the effects straight away, so I  started an online course in aromatherapy and got my level 2 certificate, qualifying me to use  essential oils for minor illnesses. I then started to make my own different pain relief blends for  myself, my family and close friends that I knew, like myself at the time, were relying on

pharmaceutical drugs daily to relieve pain.

As we all know the Covid-19 pandemic completely turned our lives and 2020 upside, the plans I

had to start my massage course were cancelled and we were instructed to stay at home and

avoid people until further notice. I could not focus or concentrate and started to lose my

motivation and aspirations for life in general. Bad news flooded in daily from every direction and

the daily death toll statistics had me suffocating from anxiety.

One day my niece came to visit me to bake some brownies and I decided to add some of my

Spirulina, Moringa and CBD to the mixture as I had now developed the habit of adding them to

my foods on a regular basis.

The was born out of a combination of ideas, lockdown, boredom, reclaimingfreedom, and stability and doing something I love as I have been baking since I was 12 years

old!

I am so happy to share my natural oil blends and food recipes to heal the world and get back to using nature to aid us in living a holistic lifestyle. Maintaining a healthy and balanced mind, body and soul will allow us to live a complete lifestyle, not free from illness but free from relying on pharmaceutical drugs with heavy side effects and the choice for an alternative solution. Today I am not free from any of my illnesses as they are incurable but my flare up have reduced  Significantly, I was told my body could not handle the pressure of carrying a baby and giving birth  

so my pregnancy was high risk all throughout which was really scary and stressful but my baby

girl was born healthy and strong and I am a testimony for the holistic power of essential oils. I

always urge everyone to have a few bottles in the house and I look forward to you experiencing

the benefits of choosing to start your wellness journey with me! xxx
