While Firmiana was in massage school she was inspired to experience the best health possible, being that she was learning so much about our extraordinary bodies and how they function. During that time, she found a doctor who is a trained MD and Naturopathic Doctor. After all of the tests results came back that the doctor had ordered, she realized my health was far from radiant and she felt it.

While working as a licensed Massage Therapist at a five-star resort on the island of Maui for 20 years, she had the pleasure of meeting a fellow colleague that was into eating the Body Ecology Diet created Donna Gates. The Body Ecology Diet is a gluten-free, dairy free and sugar-free diet which incorporates fermented foods that have been fermented with a probiotic culture starter and are eaten ideally with each meal. This way of eating completely cured me of all digestive issues. Which was the catalyst for her to write her book "Digestive Dilemmas No More" and then to create a unique sauerkraut company for the community to assist people to have a "Happy Belly" and therefore a happier planet.
