Hello Loves,
I’m Annelina Waller – born on the autumn equinox, 23.09.1990. I grew up in a very health-conscious home where organic, homegrown, and plant-based were the default long before it became a trend. While other kids had chocolate pudding, I was served dandelion and wild greens from our garden. Back then I wasn’t thrilled – today I’m deeply grateful. That foundation shaped my passion for holistic health, mindful living, and conscious nourishment.
My Journey
After moving out on my own, I started experimenting with different diets – especially when I noticed how my body changed on hormonal birth control. I suddenly struggled with digestion, energy, and focus. That experience pushed me to dive deeper into nutrition and sparked my curiosity for what truly supports our health.
Through an internship at a Competence Center for Nutrition, I discovered the Mood Food theory and the emotional side of eating. I even wrote my bachelor thesis in psychology on “Emotions and Eating Behavior”, with a focus on chocolate and mood. This inspired my love for Happy Food – meals that nourish not just the body, but also the soul.
In 2016, I completed my Master’s in Event – Sport – Health / Marketing Management, and in 2017, I published my first cookbook, “Buddha Bowls” (available in German). That same year, I moved to Berlin to work in social media – but by early 2018, I followed my heart and became a full-time blogger and content creator. It felt like the beginning of a whole new chapter.
For more than a decade, I lived fully plant-based. But after long-term health struggles, I made peace with the fact that veganism wasn’t right for me anymore. Today, I still eat mostly plant-based, but I include eggs and choose what feels good and supportive for my body. I talk openly about this shift on my podcast, because I believe in honest, intuitive wellness – beyond food labels.
Annelina Waller today – Yoga. Pilates. Nutrition. With Strength & Heart.
I now live in Vienna, though I’m often on the go. When I’m home, I teach Yoga and Pilates – strong, mindful, and movement-focused. My training includes a 200h Vinyasa Yoga certification, two advanced yoga courses, and since 2024, a powerful Pilates certification. I love movement that builds strength and space – inside and out.
Later, I launched my podcast “Conscious Gangster”, where I share thoughts and stories about real-life balance, intuition, and joyful living.
And because true well-being happens both on and off the mat, I also offer 1:1 nutrition coaching, blending science, experience, my education and intuition to support others on their unique path.
My mission? To share what helps me live lighter, clearer, and more connected – and to inspire the same in you.
Namaste, xX
Annelina
