ABOUT ME
I came to this earth with a purpose to serve and to empower you to live your best life; find inner peace, confidence, forgiveness, love, joy, and true body, mind, and spirit healing.
my Backstory
I began practicing what I learned; I started eating healthy, nutritious, and delicious foods to heal my body and my soul. I learned everything about integrative nutrition and superfoods.
Exercise and sports have always been an important part of my life, but I found a way to heal my mind and my emotions in running marathons. I enjoyed those long hours by myself, connected with my body and my mind. It was a way in which my spirit vibrated, and that's how my way back to spirituality began.
My mind and body were stronger and I regained my health. At the same time, I returned to meditation, prayer, healing retreats; I realized that my anxiety, pain, and depression were better but still persisted because I was clinging to grudges, guilt, and fears. Once I made the decision to let go, I experienced a miracle of forgiving that which I swore was unforgivable; the things that had consumed me for many years dissolved in one instant.
To this day there is no trace of cancer, cysts, prediabetes or any disease in my body. I feel better than ever, I enjoy every day, and I wake up excited to live.
All these experiences led me to work in incredible holistic health places. I am grateful for everything I have lived through. I have a beautiful 4-year-old daughter, and a husband that I deeply love. I also have three baby angels in heaven. Letting go of them was so painful and it is a work in progress healing, I will always miss them but they all filled me with love and inspiration to honor them every day of my life.
I have discovered that the purpose of my life is to be free, to be happy, to love, to have joy, learn from difficulties and put them into service for others. 12 years ago, when I returned from living in Argentina during my last year of university, I was ready to graduate, get married and live “happily ever after”.
But that didn't happen; instead, my life took a 180 degree turn. I had to face the loss of people I deeply loved, I had to let go of my first baby … It seemed that everything was happening to me, and I fell into a deep sadness that led me to illnesses and years of darkness.
Within a two-year period, I was diagnosed with a polycystic ovary, prediabetes, high cholesterol, and something I never imagined would happen to me: stage one cervical cancer. I felt even more depressed and anxious, and I thought I was going to die; every day when I woke up I just wanted to sleep, die, or go back in time to when I was happy.
But even in that darkness, I knew there was still light.
I got on my knees and prayed for answers. Then I felt the urge to learn all about true health, wellness, and integrative medicine. I enrolled in school to become certified in Integrative Nutrition, which has led me to learn and practice miraculous forms of healing that I didn't know existed.
Now I apply all these experiences to guiding and equipping my clients with tools and practices to recover their physical, mental and spiritual joy and health.

MY COACHING METHOD
I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness.
I believe each person has unique dietary and lifestyle needs. I will equip you with the self-awareness to make the best choices from love to care for yourself in any circumstance as your own expert. I will support you in making positive changes based on your own needs, lifestyle, preferences, and unique situation.
Each session will make you feel inspired and motivated. A healthy Nutrition guide is provided and an important part of my program but we'll talk about things beyond food, to balance important elements of your life. I will carefully guide you to take steps that will transform your life.
As the pieces fall into place, my clients achieve a far greater impact than they originally anticipated.
