Paola’s Papilla Soup

I looove this creamy, warming, nurturing, hugging soup! It´s from Health and Wellness Coach Paola Atlason with whom I have had the true pleasure of working with the last 8 weeks. Through her customized nutrition and self-care plan she has not only taught me how to eat to look and feel more youthful, release weight and inflammation, she has introduced me to Stress Management and Lymphatic Detoxification Techniques I was not aware of. I feel more confident, happier, healthier and FREE and I highly receommend working with her! You´ll re-learn to listen to your body and get the tools to be in command of your health! <3
