A diagnosis of ovarian cancer in 2000 was what Evita described as a ‘wake up call’ and which she decided to see as an opportunity to make changes in her life. What began as a three day juice cleanse to detoxify herself of sugar, caffeine and chemicals, resulted in Evita becoming cancer free, 83 pounds lighter and physically and spiritually transformed without surgery, drugs or radiation, four months later. She is a certified Access Bars Facilitator, training practitioners and offering individual sessions. She hosts her ‘Rawesome Lifestyle’ retreats in Maui, Hawaii where she guides guests through a mind-body-spirit cleanse and creates a space for healing and a transition to a raw vegan lifestyle.
