Viva la Vie

Lara Jay Hequet, Founder

Lara Jay holds a Master’s degree in Holistic Nutrition and is currently, pursuing a PhD. Alternative medicine has been a part of her life for the past 15 years.

Her first career started in hotel and restaurant management for the past 23 years, specialising in the managing and the creation of food and beverage concepts and training within the skill-specific areas.

Her passion shifted towards alternative medicine due to personal life experiences.

As a child, she suffered from many childhood illnesses including bronchitis and asthma. She has suffered from many allergies including the primary stages of joint-related problems.

Accepting the traumatic experience of a terminal illness as a positive blessing, Jay is determined to create a change in our perception of disease, aging and in making a difference to the lives of people through changes in the way we live and the food we eat or do not eat.

An experienced self-healer, Lara Jay has been able to eradicate and/or managed a length of illnesses by the introduction of holistic nutrition and lifestyle changes.

Through a strong network of other holistic specialists and mighty passionate people, she intends to re-create the meaning of “a mid-life crisis” for all coming generations.

She intends to age smart and looks forward to the many more challenges and life-experiences coming her way.

Her passionate and fun-loving personality are incorporated into the mission and energy of Viva La Vie.
