Camilla Brinkworth’s Inspirational Path to Healing and Purpose

Camilla Brinkworth’s story is one of profound transformation—a journey that spans from deep personal struggle to vibrant health, spiritual awakening, and the creation of a thriving business focused on sustainable plant-based living. Her story is not just about overcoming illness but about embracing a life of purpose, connection, and healing—through both physical health and emotional well-being. As the co-founder of PhytoLove, a company that combines nature with science to create sustainable, plant-based nutraceuticals, Camilla’s mission is clear: to inspire others to live their happiest, healthiest lives.

Her journey is a testament to the transformative power of nature, the healing potential of a plant-based diet, and the importance of addressing both physical and emotional health in a holistic manner. From overcoming severe arthritis and depression to embracing the power of Family Constellation Therapy, Camilla’s experiences serve as an example of the incredible resilience of the human spirit and the importance of self-discovery in healing.

A Childhood of Intuition and Magic

Camilla’s connection to nature and healing began at an early age. Growing up in Cambridge, she recalls a childhood memory that now seems like a foreshadowing of her future path. At the age of seven, she was in her garden, picking plants and concocting herbal mixtures. She even wrote a letter to her younger sister, telling her that if she drank the brew, she would see unicorns.

“I think it’s funny looking back, given that I became a herbalist,” Camilla shares with a smile. “Even as a child, I believed in the magic of plants, and today, I still do. Plants have so much healing potential, not only through our diet but through herbal medicine as well. It’s part of the reason I do what I do today—helping people connect with nature’s medicine.”

Even as a young child, her intuition was guiding her toward a life that would center on healing through nature. But it wasn’t just the plants that sparked her interest. It was a conversation with her grandmother, a wise woman who, when Camilla was just a child, told her that “health was the most important thing.” At the time, Camilla didn’t fully grasp the weight of this wisdom, as she dreamt of marrying Prince Harry instead.

“Grandma was right,” Camilla reflects now, laughing. “Health is the foundation of everything. It’s the most important thing we can prioritize, and I’m so grateful to have learned that early on, even if I didn’t fully understand it at the time.”

The Struggles and Triumphs of Healing

In her early adulthood, Camilla faced a series of health challenges that would define her journey to wellness. Diagnosed with severe arthritis, she struggled with debilitating pain, sometimes to the point where she couldn’t hold a pen, a mascara, or even do simple tasks like the washing up. 

“I was in so much pain that there were days I couldn’t even perform the simplest tasks,” she explains. “It was debilitating, and I was desperate for a solution. But it was through changing my diet that everything began to shift.”

At the age of 26, Camilla made a life-changing decision to switch to a whole food, plant-based diet. Her arthritis, which had once plagued her, vanished within two weeks of adopting this new lifestyle. She credits this transformation not only to diet but to a broader approach to health, which included addressing emotional wounds, trauma, and the deep-rooted beliefs she had been carrying.

“I went vegan, and my arthritis disappeared. But it wasn’t just about the food—it was about shifting my mindset, healing emotionally, and exploring the deeper layers of my health,” she reflects.

Exploring Trauma and Emotional Healing with Family Constellation Therapy

As Camilla began her journey of physical healing, she realised that true wellness also required healing from emotional and ancestral trauma. This led her to discover Family Constellation Therapy, a practice that works to uncover and heal the emotional wounds passed down through generations.

“Family Constellation Therapy has been one of the most profound tools in my healing,” Camilla shares. “It allowed me to process generational trauma and understand how emotional patterns in my family system were affecting my health. It’s been transformational in helping me release the burdens I carried and move toward true healing.”

For Camilla, the power of Family Constellation Therapy lies in its ability to help individuals break free from the unconscious patterns passed down through their families, unlocking a deeper understanding of their emotional and physical health.

A Passion for Helping Others: Addressing PMDD and Trauma

In addition to her work with general health and wellness, Camilla has a particular passion for working with women who experience Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). This severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is often linked to trauma and emotional challenges, and Camilla’s holistic approach addresses not just the physical symptoms but also the emotional wounds that contribute to the condition.

“Many women who experience PMDD also have a trauma background,” she explains. “What I’ve found is that when you address the physical body, but also the emotional body and work to resolve trauma, the results are truly life-changing. It’s a deep, holistic approach, and it’s something I’m deeply passionate about because I’ve experienced it firsthand.”

For Camilla, her own struggles with PMDD were overcome through a combination of emotional healing, trauma resolution, and the right nutritional and lifestyle choices. Now, she brings this knowledge to her clients, helping them navigate the challenges of PMDD and achieve balance and healing.

Discovering Asterian Astrology with Jade Sol Luna

As part of her ongoing journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth, Camilla has recently been drawn to the ancient wisdom of Asterian Astrology. Unlike the more commonly known Western astrology that uses 12 zodiac signs, Asterian Astrology works with 27 signs, offering a much richer and more detailed map of a person’s soul purpose and life path. Camilla’s curiosity about this ancient practice has led her to study with Jade Sol Luna, a renowned mystic who has dedicated his life to exploring the spiritual and astrological traditions of both the West and East.

Jade Sol Luna’s teachings in Asterian Astrology have captivated Camilla, particularly because of the way this system integrates location astrology. Through this lens, individuals can gain insights into not only who they are but also where they are meant to be, energetically speaking. As someone who has lived in various parts of the world, Camilla is fascinated by the idea that astrology can help guide her in choosing places where she will thrive.

“I’m incredibly excited to explore Asterian Astrology with Jade Sol Luna,” she shares. “The way he combines ancient wisdom with modern astrology is something I find deeply intriguing. I’m particularly interested in how astrology can inform where we live and how those locations influence our energy and overall wellbeing. I can’t wait to see what insights Jade has about where I should be living next.”

Living with Purpose and a Deep Connection to Nature

Today, Camilla’s life shows the healing power of nature, plant-based living, and spiritual growth. She now resides in Bali, where she lives in harmony with nature, practicing mindfulness, meditation, and holistic health every day. Her lifestyle supports not only her physical well-being but her emotional and spiritual needs as well.

“Living in Bali, surrounded by nature, has been one of the most healing things for me,” Camilla reflects. “It’s a place where I can be in alignment with my true purpose and connect deeply to the energy of the earth. It’s where I’ve been able to truly thrive.”

Her journey has taken her from illness and despair to a life of health, purpose, and fulfillment, and she now shares her wisdom with others through PhytoLove. Together with Simah, her co-founder, Camilla is on a mission to make plant-based nutraceuticals accessible to all, helping people live healthier, more sustainable lives.

A Life Transformed: From Illness to Purpose

Looking back, Camilla recognises how far she has come—from a young woman struggling with illness and despair to one of the healthiest people she knows. Her transformation is a powerful reminder that health is a holistic pursuit, one that involves the integration of physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.

“My life has completely transformed,” she says. “From being incredibly unwell to living a life full of purpose, joy, and health. It’s been an incredible journey, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share it with others.”

As Camilla continues to explore new realms of healing, from Asterian Astrology to holistic health practices, her commitment to growth, wellness, and sustainability is unwavering. Her work with PhytoLove is just one chapter of a much larger story—one that inspires others to seek out their own path to health, happiness, and purpose.
