About Me

I am a Brazilian-Canadian living in the US with my husband, our two children and our dog. I am passionate about how the food we eat affects directly our physical and mental health.

Nutrition was always something that got my attention. In high school I even thought about doing my college in that but the not-so-great grades in Biology and Chemistry made me walked away and I had my bachelor’s in advertising – unfortunately I didn’t have a strong connection with my intuition on that time of my life. But after first child was born, 8 years ago, I stopped to work with advertising and marketing and decided to dedicate my time to my family. And after his birth, I changed my lifestyle and incorporated exercise and healthier foods in my daily routine. During my second pregnancy I was active and had established a consistent workout routine. And when he was 6 months old, I entered to the fitness world and found myself doing restricted diets and over training to pursue an extreme fit and lean body. And I got there. But then I started a self-knowledge process, with practices of meditation and studies about true self love. During this self-connection, I realized that all my "healthy" choices were based on my image and not really about my health. I tracked my macros for so long without even question why I was following a formula I was given!

In May of 2020 the Universe gave me the final wakeup call: I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

What is Nutrition Therapy?

I believe nutrition is the foundation of health. It is not only a diet plan, or counting macros, or a formula of calories you take in and spend out. Everything starts in our digestive system. How we digest food and how we absorb the nutrients will determine how our bodies will be healthy and longevous – or not.

A nutrition therapy is about the connection body-mind; it’s the wholeness: I use a whole food approach, lifestyle changes, stress management, and sleep health and I work collaboratively with my clients to build their best health building process.

Working with a nutrition therapy practitioner you will be supported with education to achieve your goals with a plan tailored to your needs and preferences.

I recognize the challenges of implementation lasting changes, so I provide my clients according to their needs: I guide them with detailed methods of integrating food preparation within their daily routine; I provide alternative practices to manage their stress levels; I teach them how pay attention to their natural inner signs of hungriness and satisfaction; we discuss the best actions to improve their sleep patterns; and I educate them how simple lifestyles changes can improve so much their lives. My goal is to support my clients to impact sustainable and enjoyable changes that fit within their lives to not only feel their best, but thrive with sustained energy and endurance, stable mood, consistent sleep, no cravings, and no digestive issues.
