Meet Patricia Pietra

We had the good fortune of connecting with Patricia Pietra and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Patricia, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I hold a degree in Marketing and I was working in the corporate world for more than 20 years until I became a mother of two adorable children and I decided to completely change my life and dedicate myself to the Holistic World. At the beginning I started Healthyme.love as a way to take care of myself, I was feeling disconnected of my true self and I wanted to find ways to connect to my inner healer.  Through Yoga, Meditation, Sound Therapies and Holistic Nutrition I achieved a balance in my body, mind and soul. I wanted to share all that was good for me and my kids with others that may need it.  I studied Sound Healing, Meditation and I did my Yoga Teacher Training Certification at Synergy Yoga Center. Also I became a Vegan Nutritionist so I decided to create a space for healing that represented me but also people can relate too. Healthyme.love offers Yoga – Meditation- Sound Healing – Retreats – Holistic Nutrition I love to help and guide people to live a healthy life.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Healthyme.love offers Yoga – Meditation- Sound Healing – Retreats – Holistic Nutrition.  Let’s start talking about Yoga. Healthyme.love offers private, semi private and group classes, in person and online. Not only for adults but also for children. We believe that Yoga truly is for everyone, at every age. Children are our future and I am super proud to say that my children have improved their behavior and have found tools, like breathing, to recognize and manage their emotions since they practice Mindfulness, Yoga and Meditation daily. There are hundreds of benefits, but here are some reasons why yoga is awesome for children: Increases Self-Esteem, Teaches Present Moment Awareness, Cultivates a Peaceful, Relaxed State of Body and Mind, Gives Tools for Stress Management, Maintains Flexibility and Strengthens Growing Bodies. One thing that sets us apart from other businesses is our unique flexibility to adapt to our clients needs. Healthyme.love offers wellness experiences for corporations, groups, or individuals looking for a unique experience, like Yoga birthday Parties (adults & children), Bachelorette Yoga & Sound Healing sessions, Sound Bath experiences, all of them includes a mix of modalities such a Yoga, Meditation, Breath-work, Sound Healing, Reiki, Essential oils, Women’s Circle, Eclectic Dance, Mandalas creation, Healthy food bites, Cooking classes (adults & Kids)  that you can customize for your event.  To answer how I get to where I am today, I just didn’t stop. I am always learning, actually right now I’m doing my 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training with a school in India to complete my RYT 500 hour. I also always try to create new things from a place of love and without huge expectations and without being afraid to fail. I know that when it’s coming from a place of love and without just thinking about being successful, most of the time the universe feels your vibration and gives you the best. A clear example of that, It was my Goddess Detox Retreat. I visualized it before going to sleep one night. I imagined a beautiful space where womens could gather together to breathe, heal and uplift each other while eating the most healthy and nutritious homemade food so I started to create it exactly as I imagined. I partnered with two beautiful souls to help me to make it possible and suddenly last weekend of October, we had our first Retreat, and I can just say, it was magical… So now we are working in our next 2020 Retreat before the end of the year.  In our Retreats we give a test of most of our services including Holistic Nutrition, something that we also offer on private sessions. As a Vegan nutritionist I don’t pretend to convince anyone to move into a vegan diet, instead I share health benefits, moral and environmental benefits of veganism as well as other specific foods modalities, such raw foods, cleansing, vegetarianism, or anti-inflammatory, for example, so everyone can find what it is right for them and can start to create healthy habits for optimal wellness. We believe that everything is connected, when and where you eat, where your food comes from, and what your food ate.It’s important to remember that holistic nutrition is individual.  We all have different strengths, weakness, and lifestyle needs that require different approaches. At Healthyme.love we believe in a holistic approach to wellness and we encourage you to work into these four areas: Food . Body. Emotional Wellbeing . Spiritual Growth. Healthyme.love job isn’t to transform anyone. It’s to share and give you tools so that you can transform yourself.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
When my friends visit Miami we always love to enjoy the beach and at the end of the day go to enjoy the beautiful Miami Sunsets. I love South Point since you can watch the most magical Sunsets in town and at the same time sit on the grass and breathe some fresh air at the park. Also Wynwood is a must when visiting Miami, during the day for a walk to appreciate the art on the walls or at night for dinning. Love life cafe it’s a nice spot to stop, it’s a plant-based restaurant where you can enjoy delicious food.  If you visit Miami with kids, Frost Museum of Science is beautiful, especially the aquarium and planetarium. Finally I like to recommend The Lincoln Road Farmers´ Market that takes place every Sunday where you can pick up some fresh and organic veggies, while enjoying a good amount of vendors selling all kinds of items.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to say Thanks to God, Thanks to the universe for helping me see obstacles as opportunities and allowing me to grow from pain, fear to love. For showing me the path of Yoga and teaching me that every situation in life, even the most painful, has some purpose, in my case, it was to help me to grow and move into a more awakened state.  A big shout out to my sister, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who has always taught and supported me.   To my family, my children who motivate me to become a better version of myself, a better mom, a better example for them to follow and for their love for Yoga. To my parents who taught me to believe in myself, to dream big, and to work hard. Also to my friends in Miami, specially Mariana, trainers from O&O Academy an international philosophy and meditation school in southern India founded by Sri Preethaji and Sri Krishnaji. All their teachings have helped me and continue to guide me to find my inner power and peace. I would like to thank my friend Paulina for all her support in one of the most difficult moments of my life.  Also I would like to give a special shout out to Synergy Yoga Center and her owner Victoria Brunacci for being such a great Guru. I am very grateful for having her in my life because she has taught me a lot about Yoga and she is helping others on every teacher training how to become a better version of themselves.
