My life around health was marked very early on in my life. In our home organic food dominated on our daily meal plans and we grew up with little processed foods. Without consciously being aware of it, these teachings planted a seed in me during my next couple health-related rebellious years in my adolescence that would one day sprout to life and flourish.

After a vacation trip to the Dominican Republic and witnessing the overload of food in the hotel but great lack in quality, health, freshness and natural ingredients, I voluntarily went sugar-free for 6 months, lost weight and gained so much energy and zest of life. Two years later finding myself in a difficult life transformation, I found myself in chronic emotional eating and binge eating because I didn’t know how to cope with all the intense arising emotions that kept coming to surface.

Due to this, I felt called to dig deeper in this peculiar world of the contemporary human diet, its psychology and why so many people have un unhealthy relationship with food these days. As an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach I have learned so much and am constantly learning the information food and emotions give me on a daily basis and practicing more awareness around my individual needs and how I can best meet them in a world full of contradictions.

I am a very curious and open-minded person by nature and I love to learn and challenge myself. I do have my fears and insecurities but today I see them as a motivation that catapults me forward because they help me recognize where I am limiting myself in my own life and that knowledge alone helps me to strengthen my belief in myself, knowing I have the tools and the power to live my truth and create a life full of love and joy from my essence. And most importantly, recognizing my own value again for who I am. This is how in 2023 NutriEsencia was born.

I cherish moments in the mountains hiking, sunbathing at the beach, dedicating to my Yoga practices, on the bike, having a cup of coffee or a good meal with friends, reading a book or simply listening to good music lying on the couch with my angel dog Taison.
