Aloha, I’m Hollan!

I’m here to inspire you to take control of your life and health—because when you align with yourself and your body, everything else falls into place. I’ve worn many hats—mother, vegan chef, former restaurant owner, self-help junkie, and cookbook author—but the most important role I’ve embraced is being in tune with my own well-being.

I live my dream life on the beautiful island of Kaua‘i, where I’m surrounded by nature and the ocean, my ultimate source of peace. I write for a living—cookbooks, blogs, programs, and articles—while traveling the world, something I once only dreamed of. But getting here wasn’t always easy.

My health journey began 19 years ago when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. My doctor warned that I had a 60% chance of developing type 2 diabetes within a decade. On top of that, I struggled with endometriosis and recurring kidney stones, undergoing multiple surgeries with no lasting relief. Just shy of 30, I knew I was too young to be dealing with so many health issues—so I took matters into my own hands.

Fourteen years ago, I immersed myself in self-growth—reading, learning, and surrounding myself with people who supported my evolution. Eleven years ago, I transitioned to a vegan lifestyle, and since then, I’ve had no issues with endometriosis or kidney stones. My health, my habits, and my mindset continue to evolve, and I embrace change whenever something no longer serves me.

Now, I write to share my experiences—what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what I wish I knew when I first started. I want to be the support and voice I once needed, helping you navigate your own journey to a healthier, more fulfilling life.

XOXO,

Hollan
