I am a Functional Nutrition Lifestyle Practitioner with a Master’s in Food Management. I am on a mission to improve the quality of life in the world—one person at a time!
I am blessed to have over 25 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian, during which time I have had the privilege of positively impacting people from different walks of life. Growing up in Brazil, I always had a passion for health and wellness. It is true what they say, “Health is wealth. " However, it is also true that “you are what you eat.”
For three decades now, I have made it my mission to develop strategies that will equip my clients to reclaim their health, heal their bodies, and thrive in a level of wellness they have always dreamt of. I sincerely believe in the importance of preventive medicine and nutrition's vital role in supporting wellness, overall health & graceful aging.
My philosophy is based on customization to meet each individual's unique needs and health-related goals. During my nutritional counseling sessions, I address establishing healthy eating, facilitating lifestyle changes, implementing behavior modification techniques, promoting fitness, and improving general health with the ultimate goal of achieving overall wellness.
As a Nutrition and Food expert, I strategize my one-on-one Wellness sessions to:
Deliver personalized macronutrient distribution.
Provide relevant nutrition education to increase knowledge about how nutrition impacts the body, mental health, and medical conditions while supporting optimal health.
Assess barriers & challenges to implement change.
Support improved health-related habits and behavior.
Utilize goal setting to usher in and assess progress.
Replace negative self-talk.
Continually customize recommendations, resources, and tools.
Provide accountability.
Manage dietary supplement recommendations.
Invite a discussion on how faith improves overall health.
