My name is Davinia, founder of Pause. Originally from London and now based in Luxembourg for over 16 years, I bring more than 20 years of experience spanning marketing, hospitality, and lifestyle management. From coordinating high-profile events to managing the intricate schedules of entrepreneurs and chefs, I have always thrived in transforming complexity into effortless simplicity.
However, my journey into wellness started long before Pause came to life.
Raised in a family of strong women, my passion for holistic health was first inspired by my grandmother, Silvia Bernard BEM, now 98 years old. She taught me from a young age about herbs, supplementation, and the importance of caring for my health. Her wisdom and resilience have influenced my entire family.
As an avid foodie and chef, I fell in love with juicing. When I left London, a dear friend gifted me my first juicer, and from that moment 16 years ago, I never looked back.
Fast forward 3 years since my arrival to Luxembourg , my health journey took a significant turn when I was bitten by a tick and contracted Lyme disease, which led to chronic arthritis. The condition was debilitating, leaving me unable to walk or use my arms without relying on strong painkillers, medication, and steroid injections — none of which offered lasting relief.
Determined to regain my health and grow my family, I decided to take control of my well-being. I embarked on a 30-day juice fast, combining herbs and cleansing rituals. Within a week, my symptoms had drastically subsided, and by the end of the fast, they had completely disappeared. A few months later, I was thrilled to discover I was pregnant with twins.
This experience deepened my understanding of the body’s innate ability to heal when given the right environment. It was a revelation that propelled me to study diet, inflammation, fasting, and the power of herbs more extensively. Pause was born from this profound journey of self-discovery and healing.
Today, as a Certified Healing Foods Consultant and a Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner with the American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP), I blend professional expertise with personal insight. I understand the pressures of modern life — the constant balancing act between business, family, and self-care. Pause is more than a brand; it is a reflection of my journey.
I have built Pause to be a sanctuary for those who need structure, support, and the space to reclaim their own pause in life.
Enriching your lifestyle, supporting your business, elevating your wellness.
