¨Hope is the feather that remind us we all have wings.¨

I started my journey into the fascinating world of holistic healing long time ago, 2005 to be more precise. But before that I was already in the path without even realizing!

I’ve study to be a yoga teacher in Argentina for 2 years. https://www.eyoga.com.ar

It was a phenomenal teacher training that included, yoga, Sanskrit, anatomy, yoga history, a little bit about ayurveda and intensive weekend workshops, which I loved!

After this experience I had my first born, and after 11 month I discovered he had, the first symptoms of an asthmatic baby. To make a very long story short, I said a big NO to the medicine I was suppose to give him, knowing there was a healthier better path to take. 

So I had to explore. After 2 years of homeopathy, and alternative medicine this baby was complete heal of anything similar to asthma. Now he is a gorgeous boy (born 2006) who does not even remember he was once treated for asthma.

Something had change in me. I was happy to find the answers with an holistic approach. So I kept investigating, reading, and getting deep into this amazing world.

I needed to find now, my “cure” as I had psoriasis, an autoimmune disease which affects the skin. I knew this process could work for me too, by now I was really confident and had already to make changes to my lifestyle, and into my food habits.

Long after, I became a Health Coach, with additional coursework on hormones and gut. Trained and certified by the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN), the leading global nutrition school, empowering people to transform the world (www.integrativenutrition.com).

As a Health Coach, I became passionate about acting as a supportive mentor and wellness authority helping clients feel their best through food and lifestyle changes by tailoring individualized wellness programs to meet their clients' needs.

I use a holistic or integrative approach to both diet and lifestyle changes to improve my clients' health. Working as a guide towards an overall healthier life, I consider my clients' nutrition patterns, relationships, physical fitness, spirituality, and more.

I regularly hosts workshops and wellness retreats 

I’am from Argentina, but home is now Nairobi, where I live with my husband and 3 children.
