Tyka Edness To Host ‘Gourmet Soup Kitchen’

December 12, 2014

Local physiotherapist and fitness instructor Tyka Edness is getting set to host a Gourmet Soup Kitchen with the assistance of her clients on December 20, 2014, with the group to serve turkey meatball soup and basil cream of broccoli soup to the island’s homeless community.

Ms. Edness said, “As a recently graduated physiotherapist and fitness instructor since 2012, I decided that I wanted to dedicate my life to physical wellness.

“I’d like to think that this journey started at conception, but more realistically, in doing my clinical rotations it became painfully evident that some of the more severe conditions that I have a part in treating, such as Cerebral Vascular Accidents, Cardiovascular Disease, and amputations, are the terminal result of habitual health negligence.

“In my last year at the University of the West Indies, I assisted in implementing research. This helped me to understand that the common factors amongst most of the conditions that fall under the term “non-communicable diseases” are sedentary lifestyles and obesity.

“As I prepare to begin my profession as a physiotherapist and my new venture as a kick boxing dance instructor, due to teach at The Youth Center in January, I decided that I wanted to help in planting seeds of wellness, even if it was in the smallest way.

“So on December 20, with the assistance of my clients, The Figure 8 will be hosting a “Gourmet Soup Kitchen.” This event will cater to the homeless community of Bermuda, serving a turkey meatball soup and a basil cream of broccoli soup for their enjoyment and fill.

“We will be stationed in the City of Hamilton from 5.30pm until approximately 8.30pm. My vision is to serve my community as well as my fellow young women in this process. It is about empowerment of people and more closely related to my brand, women empowerment.”
