Shazzie's books, DVDs, apps, programs and other creative ventures
Shazzie's passions lie in writing and offering straightforward information that helps people feel great about all aspects of their lives.
She is the author of five books, several programs and the hostess of Shazzie's VIP Room, an exclusive membership web site for visionaries.

In the summer of 2001, Shazzie wrote and published Shazzie's
Detox Delights, the UK's first raw food recipe book. Shazzie said that book caused health by stealth. Not saying "Raw" on the cover helped ensure it would
become a long-standing favourite with all health seekers, regardless of
where their preconceptions lie. It's now a best seller, in its seventh edition, and continues to reach into the hearts
of people who "accidentally" find Shazzie's web site. It is currently in its seventh edition, having being fully revised and rewritten.
Since the success of her first book, Shazzie has written and published Detox
Your World, a 382 page mega-book covering all aspects of living
a lighter life. It also contains over 100 new raw food recipes, as well
as detox plans and loads of hints and tips. A fully revised and rewritten version of this book will be published in the USA by North Atlantic Books in the summer of 2012.
Shazzie then went on to make the three-part Shazzie's raw food DVDs to help people create delicious raw food and detox foods in their own
home.
In 2005, Shazzie co-wrote her third book, Naked
Chocolate (a full-colour raw chocolate extravaganza), with David
Wolfe, the USA raw food guru.
In 2008, Shazzie's fourth book Evie's Kitchen was published. This was the result of four year's research on childhood raw food nutrition.
Shazzie's fifth book, Ecstatic Beings, co-authored with Kate Magic is a hyper-colour tour around the New World Reorder.
She’s also written two ebooks: the free Raw Britannia (part of her Make Raw Food Mainstream campaign) and the free Shazzie Whispers.
Shazzie has created several life altering programs:
Her hugely successful program Shazzie Speaks is a hit with many customers worldwide, and a great place to start when changing your life.
Divinity In A Box gives you the key to finding the life and work that you are destined to do. Shazzie is more than qualified to teach you this having created several revolutions and a seven figure business out of thin air.
Her entry level raw food program, New 2 Raw is for people who are new to raw food, or restarting it.
Her exclusive membership web site Shazzie's VIP Room attracts visionaries from all walks of life.
Shazzie is a writing and recording artist for Diviniti Publishing, where she has released several guided meditations, available via iTunes and Audible.
Shazzie has created a best selling raw food app, for the iPhone, 97 Reasons To Eat Raw Food.
Shazzie's real health food shop
Shazzie's worldwide online shop sells over 800 products which can help you detox and relax at a rate which
is comfortable for you.Shazzie's company, Rawcreation Ltd (est June 2000) has three distinct sections
to it. Rawcreation Ltd:
- Publishes fine educational materials
- Retails over 800 genuine health products
- Wholesales to ethical companies worldwide
Rawcreation Ltd is the UK's and Europe's largest importer of certified organic
raw chocolate and ecstatic food products (such as maca, goji berries, purple corn etc).
As an added bonus, Shazzie employs her parents, sister and around twenty other lovely
beings. It has always been important to Shazzie that her work has a family feel to it.
As the co-founder of the raw chocolate revolution (with David Wolfe),
Shazzie is really happy to have a range of raw
organic chocolate bars (Temptress, Goddess, Siren, Intacta, Desire and Empress).
Where it all began
Shazzie was born in East Yorkshire, England on 23rd of January 1969, to Denise
and Bryan, with a ready made big sister Jennie. She grew up
with lots of animals, and loved them more than most people!
No more meat
In 1985, at the age of 16, Shazzie became a vegetarian. Two years later
she was a vegan. This suited her feelings towards compassionate living, which was
well worth the inconvenience.
Veganism didn't make Shazzie any more healthy, though who knows how bad things
would have turned out had she continued to consume meat and milk? She'd already
suffered a lifetime of feeling isolated, tired and unhappy, so by the
time she was an adult this had blossomed into depression, lethargy and brain
fog. The physical aches and pains were constant, as was the knowledge
that she wasn't living the life she was born to live. In her late 20s, various
events caused her to change her life: for good.
More raw stuff!
At the age of 29, Shazzie gave up grains for varying lengths of time
and ate more salads and fruit. She is convinced this is why
her "dive in at the deep end and go into 100% raw food overnight"
experience felt like a toe-dip in warm water compared to what some people
go through.
Becoming a raw foodist was an intrinsic part of Shazzie's journey towards mental,
spiritual and physical freedom. Out went the house, the job, the country
(for a while), the man, and the fear. In came exhilaration. For the first
time ever, Shazzie was loving life. She felt like she'd been rebuilt in every way.
No more crippling period pains, no more bad skin, back ache resolving
itself, and finally (thankfully!!) no more depression. Shazzie had been seeking
this happiness all her life. Only allowing
positive energy into her body gave her this relief.
Since going raw, the changes in Shazzie's health and happiness have been enormous.
She decided to document my first raw year in great detail on her web site.
Then something amazing occurred
Shazzie.com
In 2000, Shazzie's new web site started getting thousands of hits per week, and she was receiving
letters from strangers saying that the information she had shared had changed
their lives. This is when Shazzie realised that if we believe in something so
strongly, if we believe that we can make a difference, we do. Because
Shazzie.com changes lives, it also changes vibes, and the world loves
that.
Shazzie's personal life
Very soon after starting on the raw path, Shazzie got into yoga. It quickly
showed her the way to feeling more bliss, love and peace than food could alone. She practises some form
of it most days, and to be honest, it's the one thing that keeps her sane!
In 2004, Shazzie gave birth to her beautiful daughter Evie.
She was breastfed until her fourth birthday, she's unvaccinated,
co-sleeps and is as natural as someone can be in the UK! She's happy,
intelligent and very healthy.
Though undoubtedly one of the most dynamic and unique businesswomen in the UK today, Shazzie thrives in the realms of shamanism, spending much time in service to others while in ceremony. Her practise is one of holding presence and space, letting go of all that doesn't serve her. Attuned to Reiki in 2000, Shazzie is a regular attendee of ayahuascha and humane kambo ceremonies. She says her relationship with iboga saved her life after the shocking death of her lover in 2008.
Having lived in Yorkshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Leicester, Brighton and Spain,
Shazzie calls the whole world her home. However, for now, she's grounded herself in a beautiful community in East Sussex. Her home is an eco-house, made of cedar. Its water and heating supplies are off-grid. She has the share of 23 acres of woodland and meadows to play in. There's even a community building for her to host events in. It is perfect, and took a whole heap of manifesting!
Evie and Shazzie had the vision for community a long time ago. Shazzie considered starting one, giving it a raw food focus. But it didn't resonate with her fully. When she saw a house available to buy in this community community in Sussex, she jumped at the chance. The story of how it happened is nothing short of a miracle and Shazzie has immense gratitude for it.


Health and fitness
Shazzie often quotes that no animals have been known to suffer depression when in the wild and so she advocates people get outside, and get grounded as much as possible. Shazzie grows a lot of her own food, forages and lives as close to nature as possible.
Shazzie's interest in yoga is still strong, but she now also partakes in working out with her friends and boxing. Of course, she wears pink gloves! "If you aren't fit and healthy, you can't reach your full potential and are selling yourself short.", she says.
What Shazzie is doing now
- Managing Detox Your World from afar.
- Playing with Evie.
- Beaming love to everyone.
- Loving a yoga and presence practise.
- Boxing.
- Gardening.
- Hanging out in her VIP Room.
- Enjoying her friends and family.
- Being grateful to her shamanic world.
Love
We all have the capability
to be pure love. When we act out of love, we can bring light to every
situation even if there is only dark around us. Shazzie lives by the philosophy
of Love, Life, Liberty and Divinity as that's where her true happiness
lies.
Shazzie's work on Shazzie.com and her other web sites
always integrates the things she loves the most: art, photography, love, food,
animals, the world and health. The success of her web sites is proof that you can live the life you want if you remain true to yourself.
