My Journey to Wellnes From Mom Life to Holistic Nutritionist
In 2004, my life took an unexpected turn. My kids were 5 and 3, and I found myself with 20 extra kilograms since their birth. Determined to shed the weight without resorting to diets or calorie counting, I embarked on a personal mission. Standing at just 5 feet tall, I knew I needed a lasting change, not a quick fix.
Exploring Nutrition and Exercise
I began exploring all aspects of wellness, including nutrition. I devoured nutrition and diet courses, eagerly absorbing any resource I could find. Exercise fascinated me, and I decided to become a certified fitness trainer. Over the next 4 years, I gradually shed those 20 kilos. It wasn’t a race; it was a journey of learning and application.
Stronger, Leaner & Endless Stamina
By the time I reached my goal weight, I was in the best shape of my life—stronger, leaner, and brimming with stamina. But I didn’t stop there. I formalized my knowledge by earning a diploma in nutrition and becoming a Registered Holistic Nutritionist. Along the way, I explored mindfulness, stress reduction, and holistic wellbeing. These tools became practical gems for my clients.
Embracing Menopause & Hormone Balance
As I approached my fifties, my body underwent rapid changes. Perimenopause knocked on my door, and I welcomed it with curiosity. Deep diving into menopause and hormone balance, I pursued certification as a Functional Hormone Educator. Most women lacked awareness about this life stage, so I made it my mission to guide them through a seamless transition.
Certified Holistic Nutritionist & Certified Health Coach
As a Certified Holistic Nutritionist and Certified Health Coach, I have dedicated my career to empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to achieve optimal health. My expertise is further enhanced by my specialization as a Certified Functional Hormone Educator, which allows me to address complex hormonal issues with a nuanced understanding. With over 12 years of experience in the field, I have had the privilege of working with women across more than seven countries, helping them navigate their health journeys with confidence and informed choices. This extensive experience has not only enriched my professional practice but also allowed me to appreciate the diverse health narratives of women from various cultural backgrounds, solidifying my reputation as a trusted expert in holistic health and hormone education.
Today, I empower women to embrace menopause fully. It’s not just about food and exercise—it’s about mind, body, and spirit. My journey continues, and I’m grateful for every twist and turn that led me here.
