The Power of Prevention
Switching from a treatment to a prevention mentality in tackling diseases and other ailments is not an easy task, as she discovered when she launched her consultancy five years ago. “I quickly determined that in order to initiate a life change in a child, the entire family has to be involved,” she says. In working with the ‘entire family,’ Vilma takes a multigenerational approach, consulting with parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or anyone else who is present in the household plus willing and interested to learn about how to improve their health and wellness.
“It’s not what you can’t have, it’s what you can,” Vilma continues. This positive outlook, involving the entire family, helps people realize new levels of health and wellness. The entire family should be engaged
and focused on being healthy. It’s not about losing weight as much as about eating right and being active.”
