About

Welcome and thanks for taking the time to visit Balanced Nutritional Energy. My name is Ewa Filipowski (the “w” in my first name Ewa is pronounced as a “v” in English). I’m a mother of 11year old twin boys, a Nutritional Consulting Practitioner, Home Cook, Reiki Master, Cupping Therapist and a former professional dancer and student of the Maria Curie Sklodowski School of Dance.

I am fortunate and grateful to have grown up where fresh healthy, nutritious, whole, foods were a part of our household and daily living. The kitchen was a place of nourishment and nurture.

My Mamusia (Mom) passed on to me the gift of good health — whole, fresh, organic, and nutritious food. We grew up eating healthy food at every meal and to this day, food is the most important topic of conversation with my Mom. Having survived the Second World War in Poland, her life experience made her appreciate the value of food and this has carried forward in her life today where food is essential, precious, and almost sacred.  Growing up in a family of 5 children, we were fed, and then told to go outside to play in nature until sunset. I remember eating and playing with so much fondness!

Soup was a staple in our home growing up and still is to this day. So much so that I have included a separate section on this website called the Power of Soup. Home made broth was the base of each soup, and I am strongly convinced that the collagen is mom’s secret to beautiful skin at the age of 92. My Mamusia (Mom) still cooks home made broth for the week, both for herself and just in case someone pops by for a visit.

I was taught at a young age that health is one of the most valuable things in life, and to this day I am a firm believer in the wise phrase my Mom instilled in her children growing up. It reminds me of what Herophilus, the Greek physician quoted:

“When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot be applied.”

Having grown up with allergies from a very young age made me aware of what I was eating, smelling, tasting, and how the food I put in my mouth or touched made me feel. This in turn has helped me develop a strong awareness of food and mindfulness. Food is an extraordinary gift of nature and it is there for us to enjoy, as it’s one of life’s greatest pleasures. Food is essential for life as it offers healing, nourishment, comfort, and most important — it brings people together.

My passion for nutrition and active living started at a very young age, and has continued through my adult life. I’ve always enjoyed eating food and trying new recipes, yet keeping it all very simple. My love for being outside, staying active through movement and spending time in nature has made me feel healthy, strong and energized.

I feel great joy when I am able to provide my family, friends, and clients with the tools and information that will motivate and inspire them to live the best and healthiest life possible, through nutrition, active living and energetic balance.

Let’s work together in achieving optimal health through living a balanced nutritional energetic life. Over the years I’ve gathered a collection of knowledge that has guided me in my food and lifestyle choices. I hope that they will guide and inspire you to find the healthy balance that works for you.

Come and join me on this journey!
