Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Angela Van Schaijk, Founder of Nutrition and Fitness by Angie, located in Roscommon, Ireland.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My Business is Nutrition by Angie. I am a certified Health & Nutrition Life Coach. My customers are people who have problems losing weight or feel stressed out with diets and food.
Tell us about yourself
I am a mum of 3, and my son has autism and ADHD. He mainly inspired me to become a nutritionist because he is a picky eater. I became a nutritionist two years ago when I was overweight at 30Kg.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is helping mums with their weight and get healthy. As a mum of a child with special needs, I know how hard it is not to have enough time for myself, and a healthy lifestyle can quickly become your worst nightmare.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
To see how people struggle with diets. Our society is telling us how to look and what to eat. I have seen a lot of people starving themselves to get skinny. This caused a broken metabolism.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Keep fighting for your dream! It isn't easy, but if you can help only one person somewhere, it is worth fighting for!
