Simonne Holm I’m a passionate plantchef and a creative photographer with a love for nature, animals and plant-based food. I run a holistic health business from my home in a small village in Djursland, DK. I teach people how to grow and cook with plants, vegetables and fruits, and through my artwork I create images with natural elements from nature to express how we are interconnected to nature and the animal kingdom. I developed new projects from feasting dinners to green cooking events. I healed my body with an Alkaline diet back in 2012. I learned how we our lifestyle and eating habits effects our health - also our planet. I've written and photographed tre recipe books (available in danish and english) and few art books and I also sell my artwork as signed, limited edition photographic prints. Please read my story, that transformed my life, it can inspire other to the same. As our planet inches closer to inhabitability, there is no time left for working in isolation. We know what to do and we have to do it together. If you need specific guide in the healthy plant-based kitchen you can visit my health site.
High energy food healed my body, made me more conscious, and re-connected me to a sustainable radiant healthy lifestyle – in harmony with Nature!
My journey to vibrant health began with a profound personal transformation. Facing serious health challenges, I discovered how my diet, lifestyle, and exposure to toxins had impacted my well-being. A life-changing detox program helped me cleanse my body of toxins, acids, and heavy metals, restoring my vitality and igniting a passion for plant-based living.
High-energy rich plant-based food transformed my body and mind!
And what a freedom it was, to be in charge of my own health, and knowing that Mother Nature provide us with all you need to be healthy, strong and vitale.
I was taught very powerful knowledge that I had never heard about before.
It was one of the most inspiring education I have had in my life.
That really connected me to my planet!
Today, as an Alkaline Lifestyle Mentor, Plant-Based Chef, and Food Presenter, I am passionate about helping women transform their health through vibrant, plant-based cooking and holistic living. Drawing on my own experience of overcoming significant health issues, I empower others to reclaim their health, nourish their bodies, and live with vitality in harmony with Mother Earth.
I collaborate with global organizations, including Heartfulness Magazine and various international art projects, to inspire greater awareness, wellness, and sustainability through cooking and meditation. With a unique approach that connects heart, body, and mind through creativity, I guide others to embrace a deeper consciousness and tap into their inner wisdom.
My work has been featured in respected publications and I have contributed to various magazines and platforms focused on health, sustainability, and lifestyle. I am deeply committed to sharing the message of how food can transform not only our bodies but also our creativity, intuition and connection to the planet.
Through workshops, retreats, events, and programs, I continue my mission is to inspire others to discover the joy and transformative power of mindful cooking and holistic wellness.
