A guide to holistic wellness

“I help individuals align their actions with their goals,” she explains, emphasising a holistic approach that promotes a healthy body and a purposeful mindset.

The joy of transformation
Witnessing transformations in her clients' lives is one of Jugdeo’s most treasured aspects of her work. “Those moments of joy and empowerment are truly priceless,” she reflects.
Her drive to empower people to take charge of their health is intensified by her commitment to offering quality solutions, products like fat burners and nutritional supplements developed in collaboration with a trusted US manufacturer.
Building a supportive community
Jugdeo’s descent into the world of social media began as a means of sharing her personal journey, a remarkable narrative marked by challenges and triumphs, including her daughter Zahra’s medical journey at birth.
What started as a platform for connection has blossomed into a nurturing community rooted in mutual respect and support. “It’s not just about followers,” she asserts. “It’s about creating a space where people feel inspired and supported.”
However, being a female digital creator and businesswoman isn’t without its challenges. Jugdeo navigates the delicate balance between family and business while defying societal stereotypes surrounding women in business.
Her resilience is anchored in her unwavering “why”, a supportive network and a dedication to provide a better life for her two children, Zahra and Zante.
A beacon of inspiration
In her community and workspace, Jugdeo finds inspiration in those who uplift others, particularly women combining empathy with innovation.
She draws strength and wisdom from her husband, Eric Jugdeo, a successful businessman, and her daughter, who, having overcome significant health challenges, embodies a fighting spirit.
Their stories propel her forward, instilling a sense of determination and purpose in her work.
Wisdom for aspiring entrepreneurs
To those embarking on their entrepreneurial journey, Jugdeo offers sage advice: “Stay true to your vision, embrace the process, and remember that success is about persistence as much as passion.”
Her focus on personal growth and unwavering belief in oneself is a guiding light for anyone navigating the complex world of business.
