About KoldenFruit Founder
My journey to heal & Blossom
Hi, I am Elody
I was born and raised in France. I grew up with my Portuguese mother and a Cameroonian father, in a strict Jehovah's Witness family.
This upbringing was difficult in many ways, I had a complex relationship with my mother, and was isolated with my personality and personal expression often crushed by religious pressure; I picked this photo because I know what religious abuse look like, often masked behind smile.
Jehovah witnesses blood transfusion is not the biggest problem in their community: Jehovah witnessed child abuse cases continue to be exposed.
I was a suicidal teenager and it always felt like the Jehovah witnessing community was interfering in our life. At the age of 17, I decided to leave my family and relocate to Paris to forge my own path away from brainwashing and social pressure.
Paris was a new beginning and I had cut ties with my family but I was still heavily impacted and influenced by their internalised critics, threats, and other guilt-tripping beliefs I had grown up with. I needed to be free, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well.
At 19, I decided to relocate to the other side of the world—Australia.
It was there, by myself, still struggling with my mental health but finally starting to discover who I was and listening to my inner voice.
Moving to London
I arrived in London at 21 and after running a few restaurant in Shoreditch or Soho, notably for Soho house or at the Ned, I decided it was time to gather the confidence to become an entrepreneur.
I had a lot to learn but I've always known that food was my calling—and I wanted to be a private chef.
After travelling a little bit more to Cuba, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Europe, I came back to London and launched my first business, KoldenKitchen. Through luxury catering services, I bring people together and create magical moments around bespoke culinary experience.
Finding Freedom, Sharing Wisdom
My vision evolved with me; I've learned that great food heal, travel can open our mind, and expressing ourself helps us to process and release our most intense, hidden emotions.
My upbringing, social conditioning and traumas had interfered with my outlook on life and way to interact with the world for a long time. In order to stop, I first had to admit to myself that I had traumas, which after years of playing pretend and denial was not easy; After a traumatic memory I just wasn’t able to keep lying to myself.
I founded Koldenfruit as I grew closer of my true nature; to encourage others to stop hiding their unique gift and share their energy with the world. Koldenfruit is a path of freedom, where you can find food, travel, and personal development -Everything high vibrational to give us the energy to embrace life.
Fom survival to transformation
I came to realise many people carry trauma and are hurting in secret , including my parents—whether intergenerational trauma, childhood trauma, religious traumas- and there is no reason to pretend, to feel ashamed or to hide who you are.
Because of my life journey from my childhood bible studies to my personal development as an adult, I also came to clear distinction between religion vs spirituality; and if I have seen evil, I’ve for sure also seen god in my life.
Yet, I understand what it's like to be in a conflicted mental place, isolated, not knowing what to feel or what to do. The struggle of unsupportive dysfunctional family, abuse, victim blaming, body image shame, inner conflicts, internalised guilt, depression- it’s a lot to face alone.
I have been through all that; That is why even if I am not perfect, I can still be an example and share the knowledge and wisdom that has enabled me addressing traumas, reframing my mindset and overcoming these obstacles. I am still becoming and transforming to live a guilt-free, fulfilling life. I am now also here to help you on your journey.
