Be the first to Comment 2 Recommendation(s) VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Indulging in a little "chocolate therapy" helps a lot of people get through tough times.

A Vancouver woman has used it to turn a bitter divorce into a sweet business success story. Shadi Javadi survived an acrimonious split by eating plenty of chocolate and reading lots of inspirational material. She wanted to spread the love, and Deliss Chocolate was born.

Her first creation was the My Therapy Bar. "The first was the 'I Love Myself,' which is dark chocolate and then there's the 'I Will Survive' bar which is our milk chocolate. Then there's the 'Look At Me Now' bar which is milk chocolate and hazelnut bits."

The chocolate bars represent the stages Javadi went through, and they can be likened to fortune cookies. "They each contain an individual, inspiring message ... like quotes from the Dali Lama and Buddha."

In just a year, My Therapy Bars are already selling in places like Whole Foods and Stong's Market. Javadi is also at the West Coast Women's Show on October 22-24th at the Tradex in Abbotsford.
