I help busy women (just like you)

FIND THEIR SPARK

nourish their heart

make their health a priority

AND RECLAIM THEIR BODIES

so that they can feel empowered,
happy and strong

here's the truth to my story:

I didn't always have a healthy relationship with my body

FOR A WHILE, I WAS FOCUSING ON THE WRONG THINGS

I was feeling unhappy in my marriage

BORED, UNINSPIRED AND WATCHING MY LIFE GO BY

always prioritizing someone else's
needs over my own

I NEVER HAD TIME FOR WHAT WAS IN MY HEART

naturally, everything fell apart
all the pieces broken and scattered

I FELT UNCENTERED, UNHAPPY AND STRESSED

my heart and my health

THAT PROCESS CHANGED MY STORY

and it changed me forever

and it changed me forever

I changed my habits, my priorities and started listening to what was in my heart and I started to finally put what mattered at the top of my list by truly focusing on 

mindset over diet

I studied and graduated as a health coach at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and became certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. I was trained in more than one hundred dietary theories and studied a number of practical lifestyle and coaching methods.

I also became a Romana Kryzanowska Certified Pilates Instructor and the proud owner of my beloved private boutique studio Casa Pilates, where I've taught privately one on one to amazing long standing clients for over 11 years and have a current wait list for openings.

MY PASSION IS
HELPING WOMEN
NOURISH THEIR
HEART AND HEALTH
BY FINDING TRUE ALIGNMENT

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 AND WHY I CAN HELP...

I’m a graduate of the Institute for integrative Nutrition and certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners.

Drawing from this knowledge, and also from my own quite colorful personal experience, I will help you create a completely personalized “Roadmap to Health” that suits your unique body, lifestyle preferences and goals. I’m also a Romana Kryzanowska certified Pilates instructor and proud owner of my beloved boutique studio in Montclair NJ. Casa Pilates.
