My Story

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

I studied to be a yoga teacher in Argentina for 2 years at Escuela Yoga (https:// www.eyoga.com.ar). It was a phenomenal teacher training course that included yoga, Sanskrit, anatomy, yoga history, basic ayurveda and featured intensive weekend workshops, which I loved!

After completing my yoga teacher training, I gave birth to my first born, and after 11 months, I discovered he had the first symptoms of an asthmatic child. To make a very long story short, I said a big NO to the medicine I was supposed to give him (steroids), knowing there was a healthier, better path to take.

So I had to explore. After 2 years of homeopathy and alternative medicine, my baby was completely healed of his pre-asthmatic condition. He's a gorgeous boy (born 2008) who doesn't remember he was once treated for asthma.

Something fundamental had changed in me. I was happy to seek the answers to health issues employing an holistic approach. So I kept investigating, reading, and going deeper into this amazing world.

I suffered from psoriasis, an autoimmune disease which affects the skin, and I wanted to find "my" own answers to my condition. I knew the holistic approach could work for me too, and I began to make changes to my lifestyle and food habits.

In 2018, I became a Health Coach, with additional coursework on hormones and gut. I was trained and certified by the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN), the leading global nutrition establishment, 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, and tailoring wellness programs to meet their 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 host workshops and wellness retreats

I was born and raised in Argentina, but home is now Nairobi, where I live with my husband and 3 children.
