I do what I do because I've seen firsthand how the right nourishment, balance, and mental health practices can change lives for the better. As a young professional soccer player, I didn't have the knowledge to truly care for my body, and I regret not understanding the importance of nourishment and balance sooner. The injuries I suffered, which became chronic, could have been prevented or minimized if I had made different choices. That’s something I carry with me in my work today—helping people understand their own bodies and make choices that lead to lasting health.  Then, when I moved to the U.S. on my own, with little English, to pursue my Master's and my goal of staying here, it was a huge turning point. It was not just about fitness and wellness, but about rebuilding my mind and spirit along the way. Taking care of my mental health, alongside physical health, helped me overcome the challenges of this big transition. These experiences drive my passion for coaching others. I believe that when we nourish ourselves holistically—mentally, emotionally, physically, and relationally—it empowers us to live the life we deserve. It's incredibly fulfilling to help others feel empowered and see how small changes can create big shifts in their lives. :)
