Berta has always adapted a holistic approach to managing her health and wellbeing, recognizing the important contribution of diet, mindset, and daily habits, to improving on ones welfare and paving a a healthier future. Supported with plant-based medicines, better information regarding their health and a plan of action to see them through their recovery and formulate a new normal… the quality of her life had drastically improved.
For patients, after years of suffering due to the lack of education, appropriate support from health services and from being too exhausted living in survival mode, often leaves people giving up on their health and wellbeing of resulting in people adapting maladaptive coping mechanisms: placing a bandage on a bullet wound. At EthVida, we say no more! bring back healthcare.
Having faced similar struggles herself, Berta was fortunate to have a background in healthcare. She used this knowledge to advocate for her own wellbeing—yet even with that advantage, the journey was incredibly difficult. She often felt isolated and unwell. After surviving a suicide attempt, Berta made a powerful vow: no one else should have to go through what she did.
This commitment led her to seek out additional healthcare options, which eventually introduced her to cannabis-based medical products. The transformation she experienced was life-changing. Inspired by this, Berta became a passionate advocate for others who are still suffering—many of whom don’t even know these treatments exist.
At EthVida, we believe that reclaiming your health means taking a holistic approach to wellbeing. We’re dedicated to keeping our educational platform up to date, offering reliable, accessible information all in one place. Our goal is to be a one-stop resource, empowering patients to take control of their health through informed self-care and holistic practices.
🌿 Honoured and Grateful 🌿
Nominations
We are honoured to be nominated for Social Enterprise of the Year at the 2025 UK StartUp Awards and the nomination for Rising Star at the 2025 Business of Cannabis Europe – a recognition that fuels our passion to keep breaking barriers in holistic care.
Awards
I’m truly honoured to be recognized with the CREA Global Award 2025 by Brainz Magazine.
This recognition is especially meaningful as it celebrates our work on the Cannabis Chronicles — a segment dedicated to sharing real patient stories and highlighting the benefits of cannabis-based medical products. In a world where plant medicine still faces stigma and misunderstanding, being acknowledged for contributing to such an important — and often controversial — topic is both humbling and empowering. We are deeply grateful and inspired to continue advocating for awareness, education, and the destigmatisation of cannabis as medicine. This award fuels our mission to uplift patient voices and expand the conversation around plant-based healing.
Join the movement. Reclaim your wellness with EthVida!
Firstly, we would like to congratulate you on taking the first step and the initiative, to taking back control of your health and wellbeing. We know it is a very challenging journey to make the necessary lifestyle changes required to sustain your health and wellbeing. We hope to equip you with enough information to support you through your journey.
The pandemic has changed a lot of things in modern society, however a crucial area, is the further devaluation of healthcare services in the UK. The UK, alongside the globe, experienced the pandemic and the devastating impact this had on people’s wellbeing as a whole. With an increase in people struggling with mental health; from 1 in 4 ppl to 1 in 3, and/or an increase in individuals struggling with chronic illnesses; either long-COVID, or deterioration in physical health due to COVID. The NHS and alternative healthcare providers are elongated with specialist referrals and limited manpower, to appropriately deliver services. This in turn results in millions of patients across the UK unable to access adequate healthcare services, due to either never-ending waiting lists, or not meeting the threshold for specialists’ intervention(s). As a result, patients are either not receiving the relevant treatment required, or there’s a significant delay in treatment, leading to further deterioration of one’s symptoms, health & lifestyle as a result.
This is why it’s so important to take control back of our health so, we can lead a happier, healthier quality of life.
We wish you a happy and healthy life.
