here is  my truth

I used to be precisely where you are right now. I was bored, uninspired, and felt like I was watching my life go by. I prioritized everyone’s needs but my own, was feeling unhappy in my marriage, and was focusing on all of the wrong things - including my health.
I didn’t always have a healthy relationship with my body, and during this time, things got worse. I was eating too little, following fads, and was obsessed with my weight. My days were filled with caring for the kids and the home, but it wasn’t enough for me. I knew there was something more out there for me. 

I NEVER HAD TIME FOR WHAT WAS 

IN MY HEART, AND I FELT

uncentered, unhappy and stressed

 Naturally, everything fell apart - including my marriage. It was only after I had to pick up the pieces of my life did I see that something had to change. And it was me.

I changed my priorities, and started listening to what was in my heart. Finally, I put what mattered most at the top of my list - and started taking care of my mind, my body and my soul. This is when my solopreneurship journey began.

and this is what has brought you and I  together

My path to becoming an alignment and health coach was in the making from a young age growing up in my beautiful Colombia. I was always surrounded my amazing fresh foods which at the time I took for granted since I could literally just pluck an avocado (which I didn’t like much) right from my backyard. My special mother was a huge influence making me aware as a young girl that how I fueled my body and soul really mattered. The seed was planted early and here I am.

I believe with all my heart that true health starts from the inside. As a first step, it is important to take a careful look at all areas of your life to find where the imbalances are. Once that's done, you need to pay attention to those areas, make a commitment and take steps to find a healthy balance where needed. Taking into account mindset, nutrition, movement and general self-care. I'll show you how to take those simple daily steps, without feeling deprived, and having fun!

MY CREDENTIALS

When I listened to my heart’s desire, it opened me up to living a holistically healthy life, encompassing my body and mind and doing purpose driven work. Through education and years of practice in nutrition, movement,  transformative life coaching, and my own colorful personal experiences, I have created a personalized approach that will meet you where you are - and take you where you want to go.

  • I’m a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. I was trained in more than one hundred dietary theories and studied practical lifestyle coaching methods. 
  • I’m a Romana Kryzanowska certified Pilates instructor and was the proud owner of my beloved boutique studio in Montclair, NJ, for over 15 years. With a weighty heart, we permanently closed in 2020 due to world events. 
  • I’ve taken multiple coaching programs, including Playing Big Facilitators Training with Tara Mohr, Optimize Coach Program with Brian Johnson, and Sacred Depths Coaching Certification with Joanna Lindenbaum.
  • I’ve taken many other group programs and worked with many coaches. But honestly, my life experience, the embodiment of the work I offer, and my essence as a lifelong learner have created the rich fabric of my work and approach.

I’m on my own never-ending quest to feel vibrant, healthy, and fully alive - while keeping a healthy balance in the choices I make to fuel my body and soul. YOU CAN DO IT, TOO.
