Hello, I’m Irena, the creator of Laveeta. The road to this point was not easy or straightforward, but I am thrilled to be here. How did I get here and what motivated me?
Let me share a story with you – a story of my journey to a place I never expected to find myself in and of the birth of Laveeta.
When I was in my twenties, the world of natural healing was worlds away. My life seemed set on a predictable course. I was navigating the world of IT, happily married, and a proud mum to a beautiful baby boy. Life was good, stable, and seemingly all planned out. But sometimes, life has a way of surprising us, revealing paths we never expected to walk.
My world was turned upside down when my son, at just 18 months old, was diagnosed with Type I diabetes. The standard answer was insulin injections, a lifetime reliance on conventional pharmaceuticals, with all the side effects and complications that might bring later on. Seeking hope, I asked his specialist if there could ever be a different future, one with less reliance on these treatments and better health outcomes. The answer was crushing: “don’t have false hopes.”
That moment changed everything for me. This moment ignited a spark in me, a profound determination to explore natural and alternative ways to enhance my son’s health and vitality. I immersed myself in the vast, unknown world of alternative medicine. I was determined to explore every avenue to improve my son’s health and secure a better future for him.
I sought wisdom from practitioners of all kinds – herbalists, naturopaths, Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, energy healers and more, but relying on others’ knowledge wasn’t enough. I needed to understand, to learn, and to take control of my son’s health. Thus, my journey into naturopathy and homeopathy began.
