She overcame an eating disorder to create the healthyeating brand Two Raw Sisters and star in TVNZ's My Dream Green Home, but Rosa Power is now facing her biggest challenge yet.
In March, Rosa - who established the Two Raw Sisters recipe platform with her sister Margo Flanagan five years ago - married her longtime partner, farmer/ farm advisor Rupert Power.
Shortly afterwards, the Christchurch-based couple announced their pregnancy on Instagram, with Rosa, 28, writing the words "baby" on her stomach.
"So far, I've been really lucky with morning sickness, but I did suffer from terrible nausea during my first trimester," says Rosa, whose first child is due in November.
The mum-to-be, who's won thousands of fans on social media for her predominantly plant-based recipes, admits she hasn't experienced any unusual food cravings to date.
"I did go off red meat for a while and had to prepare dinner in the morning because cooking smells later in the day really got to me," she tells. "But at Two Raw Sisters, we often speak about prepping food in advance to make life easy, so that wasn't an issue."
Picking a name for their daughter, however, is proving to be more of a challenge.
"I had a boy's name sorted, so when we found out we were having a girl, we struggled a bit. We're finding it hard to decide."
