Hey, I’m Dre

Allow me to champion you to reach your full potential

I started my plant-based journey in 2014 with the intention of becoming the strongest healthiest version of myself.

Passion & Alignment

A little bit about my background and how i got here

The beginnings

I've always had a health in the forefront of my mind. Growing up a little on the bulky side so i began a movement practice at 15. I started my plant-based journey in 2014 with the intention of becoming the strongest healthiest version of myself. Whilst starting my career in architecture and food trading as a passion project with a close friend. It was truly a joy to expand my reach and connect with others for the first time.

Today

Day-to-day activities revolve around supporting clients' health and well-being through coaching sessions, personalised plans, providing resources and cooking for my vegan food brand Bynaturefoods. We have some seriously mouthwatering food that you cant say no to.

Present

Present I get to live a goal of mine to support clients' health and well-being and cooking for my vegan food brand
Bynaturefoods.

I have now spent the better part of a decade deep diving into foundational books and ideas in nutrition, mental health and mindfulness.

What I discovered along the way was nothing short of life-changing. With each layer of reality on the food industry being revealed through documentary after documentary. I have been slowly heading towards an impasse for a long time now.

A small change health coaching is my clear step towards taking control of where I direct my energy and focus whilst expanding this to those I can help.
