I have known Vanita for nearly twenty years both personally as a fellow yoga practitioner, meditator, and travel and food enthusiast and professionally as a science and health communicator working in healthcare communications agencies. She is extremely well versed in meditation and yoga practices and a highly talented vegetarian chef. As a skilled communicator in science and beyond, Vanita is able to share her knowledge and skills in an accessible way that inspires and encourages others to explore yoga, meditation, and healthy food practices.

I recently participated in a Reiki session with Vanita. She is a truly gifted Reiki practitioner with an intuitive ability to create a trusting and supportive environment. The session helped me access a deeply relaxed state and better understand the internal and external factors affecting my emotional and physical health at this time. I could feel the heat and the movement of energy through my chakras and physical body and experienced strong imagery and memories that helped unfold the story of where I am now and how I can continue to evolve my health and spirituality in the coming months.

I highly recommend working with Vanita as a guide, healer and teacher.

I had an incredibly healing distance reiki session with Vanita. I was struck by the congruence of her strong direction, gentle envelopment, and bright intuition. The space she created, even from a distance online, allowed me to drop in quickly to a place of meditation, relaxation, magic, and awareness. I came out of the session feeling brighter, more integrated and the reverberations flowed into my dream life that night. I’m looking forward to more healing sessions soon.

The Fire Cider by Alkhemix is quite literally life-changing. Aside from tasting amazing and providing a wonderfully satisfying “burn”, this Fire Cider has absolutely improved my health. It was the catalyst to being able to quit coffee for good as it’s all I needed to start my day. I also love getting such healthy herbs and spices in my body daily — this is an amazing brew that all health-seeking people should be drinking!

I love Vanita’s fire cider! It’s super potent and activating. I take a shot every morning on an empty stomach and I can tell it’s been helping cleanse my gut. Plus, it’s made with lots of love and positive intention. Vanita’s creations are absolutely nourishing, delicious, and made with so much love and intention. I’ve had her decadent chocolate cake. The chocolate cake is out of this world! It’s made with no processed sugar (so guilt free), dense, satifies my sweet tooth, and unlike anything I’ve ever tasted before. The flavor is unique and so delicious.

I usually do the Master Cleanse once or twice a year, but recently this fast became an issue for me and I could no longer pursue it as a tool for fasting. But I was at a point where my weight was ballooning and my cravings for sugar and alcohol were out of control and I knew I needed to take action.

I bought a batch of fire cider from Vanita after hearing her speak on it’s healing properties to help stir up the toxins in my body and went on a serious fast to squeeze those toxins from my fat cells which my stomach was storing faster and faster and in larger and larger quantities. The fire cider not only got my blood going, but it passed through me like a saltwater cleanse would. Only I knew that Vanita had packed the cider full of nutrients and spices that would also help heal along with the elimination.

I also bought a batch of veggie broth from her that she made special just for me, so that while on my fast, I could drink from her loving potion any time I got a craving for food. Not only does her broth taste amazing (!!), it feels great to know she put real love and healing veggies into the broth with my transformation and health in mind.

I was able to fast for 2 full weeks with Vanita’s broth and cider, and I’ve seriously never felt better. I came out of that fast with no food cravings, an extremely clear head, cleared eczema, and I lost some long-held weight. This was not the point of my fast, the point was to get control of my eating habits, give my digestive organs a rest, and heal my guts… but feeling skinnier never hurt… (me).

When ordering from Vanita, you know she puts her heart, soul, and expertise into your food. And you can taste the difference!

I met Vanita many moons ago during her years in PR [public relations] at our company holiday. I found her energy to be totally captivating and over time I have enjoyed watching her evolution and growth, and her journey into Motherhood. Through her very thoughtful, insightful, and educational posts I could tell that she was doing a lot of deep and meaningful work on her health; mind, body, and soul. It was during quarantine that I came across a video of Anya and her, in which the mother/daughter duo was giving a lesson on how to make fire cider and teaching of the benefits that it holds. I was especially intrigued by the anti-inflammatory properties, as I was experiencing some digestive issues. Living in the midst of a pandemic, I was also looking for anything that would boost my immune system. I reached out to Vanita and I purchased her Beet Fire Cider (Medium Fire). I was worried that the spice would irritate my already sensitive stomach. What I found out was the complete opposite. Within a week of taking 2 Tbs of the cider, every morning, I noticed that my digestive issues seem to be resolving. The bloating, irritation, and discomfort I had been feeling subsided significantly. One evening my husband asked if he could try some, his face scrunched up, which caused the kids to laugh.  They became curious and asked if they could try some as well. What started out as joking around, became a regular medicinal practice in our home. When my daughter felt a little lethargic or felt she was not feeling quite well, she’d ask for a swig of my “magic juice”. Whenever we’d go out into the world, we’d take some as a precaution to give our immune system a boost. I have finished my first entire bottle of Fire Cider (with the help of my children) and have also tried making Vanita and Anya’s recipe myself. As someone who is not particularly fond of the kitchen, I will definitely be a repeat client, but I appreciated learning the process and Vanita’s generosity in sharing her knowledge.
