Healthy Holiday Tips from Holistic Nurse & Surfer, !

We’re thrilled to share insights from our own Cordelia Sidijaya, a remarkable Holistic Nurse, Integrative Health Coach, and passionate Surfer. With a healthcare journey beginning in 2011 and overcoming her own health challenges, Cordelia’s story is one of resilience and discovery. Now, she’s dedicated to helping others achieve wellness through a holistic health approach.

Here are Cordelia’s top tips for staying mindful and healthy during the holiday season:

🍽️Mindful Eating Over Mindless Munching: Savor every bite of your holiday meals. Enjoy the flavors and textures, and listen to your hunger cues.

🏄‍♀️ Stay Active: Don’t let the holiday rush keep you from moving. Walk, dance, or join a fitness event to manage stress and weight.

💦 Hydrate Wisely: Amidst the celebrations, remember to drink plenty of water. It’s key for energy and skin health in cold weather.

😴 Rest is Crucial: Ensure you get enough sleep and practice relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation to recharge.

📔 Emotional Wellness: Pay attention to your emotions. Journaling, talking to friends, or professional help are all great ways to manage holiday stress.

🥗 Natural Immune Boosters: Incorporate vitamins and antioxidants in your diet with fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, and lean proteins.

🏝️ Connect with Nature: Take time for nature walks to find calm and grounding.

🙏 Practice Gratitude: Reflect on your blessings. Gratitude can improve mental health and bring peace.

Remember, you can enjoy the holidays without compromising your health. Listen to your body, respect your emotions, and let the holiday spirit support your wellness journey.

We are BACK! 💪🏼 🍀💚

We know we have been quiet for a while, but we are now ready to fill you in. As you might know, I, Jessica (founder of Växa), and Jake decided to move across the world to Spain 🇪🇸 💃🏽 .

However, we didn’t want to let go of our Växa brand that we have built up and are still very passionate about. Luckily, we found two amazing locals in Santa Cruz who wanted to partner with us, and we couldn’t be happier to find the perfect match. Some of you probably already know Barry and Osiris, but for those of you who don’t, let us introduce:

Barry, a surf-life coach with 25 years experience. Lived in Santa Cruz for 35 years, always conscious about health and wellness (& now longevity) and how food fuels our performance. Traveled the world through surfing and his favorite Vaxa bar is Orange-Turmeric.

Osiris, acrobat, trapeze artist and surfer. From Panama, living in Santa Cruz for 5 years. Osiris has always had a passion for health and wellness, growing up in the tropics enjoying simple abundance and influenced by her family’s love of farming. In her work life is involved in regenerative agriculture via certification work. Her favorite Vaxa bar is Blueberry Choco.

Give them a BIG WELCOME!! 🥰❤️🙌🏼

Hi 👋🏼 my name is Jessica and I am the founder of Växa. We are currently going through a lot of exciting times and I haven’t introduced myself in a while so here we go (stay tuned for the introduction of our other partners).

I’m the kind of mom who’d rather play outside with my three boys than spend hours in the kitchen. So when my family moved from Sweden to Santa Cruz, California and I had to start packing school lunches for my kids, I did what any mom would do. I went to the snack aisle.

At first, I walked down the snack aisle like a kid in a candy store. There were so many options compared to my local grocery store in Sweden! But when I started reading the ingredient labels, my glee turned to shock.

So many protein bars had ingredients that are banned in Sweden, and the “clean” bars were all loaded with sugar.

I literally went to the snack aisle to avoid being in the kitchen. But I was determined to find a recipe that was gluten-free, nut-free, vegan, low-sugar, clean, and actually tasty.

So I brought myself into the kitchen, and made them myself. -> Växa was born!
