ABOUT ME

Hello! Welcome to my page!

Let me introduce myself and tell you a bit of my story...

My name is Carla, a Brazilian living in the United States, married to Edu, and mother of 2 smart and lovely boys, Lucas and Gabriel.

Nutrition and exercise always have been my greatest passions since I was a kid. However, despite my average weight, I was always struggling with my relationship with food. Using food to RELIEVE my stress and anxiety was an automatic and known path for me, as well as compensating all f my overeating episodes with exercises...

Things were going like this until my body started to scream! Intense migraines, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, tiredness, endless fatigue, weak immunity, extreme mood swings, poor sleep, dizziness, and no energy for physical activities.

After many treatments and medicines to ease de SYMPTOMS (but without taking care of the root causes of my problems), my turning point happened when I decided to stop following all the "fad diets" and started to listen to my body. At this point, I began to pay attention to my health in a broader way.

Since then, the more I studied Functional and Holistic Nutrition, applied, and saw the effects on me, the more passionate about this path I became. It was transformational for me to understand how much we need to take care of ourselves integrally (physically and emotionally) to achieve consistent health.

I graduated as a Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York, studying with all the best names in Nutrition, Functional Medicine, and Integral Health. After that, I specialized in Hormonal Health, Gut Health, and Emotional Eating Psychology.

Today I offer Health Coaching programs (one-a-one and group programs) to women who are tired of fighting with their weight, suffer from hormonal and gut issues, and 

tend to "eat emotionally" in times of stress and frustration.

My mission is to help them make up with their bodies and find their best physically and emotionally version ever!
