Vegan Academy founder, Koen Vaessen, tells his story of how he healed years of self destructive behavior with veganism and intuitive eating

"I often chose cigarettes over having a meal"

After years of living a self destructive lifestyle, suppressing his emotions, and a negative relationship with food, Koen Vaessen burnt out. And he knew it was time for a change. He went vegetarian, started a course to become a personal trainer and got fit. However, he still wasn't happy. And that's when he knew he had to go within. He needed to change his relationship with himself and learn how to deal with stress. He went vegan and eventually started the Vegan Academy to help others thrive on a vegan lifestyle, but most of all create a healthy relationship with their body and with food.
