MY APPROACH

MY BELIEFS

I genuinely believe that it’s possible to find a balance between family, career, exercise, and nutrition if we work on our inner strengths - through mindfulness and awareness, and our body's possibilities - through exercises and real nourishment.

My search for a real and sustainable balance in life made me discover the importance of respecting our bio-individuality about nutrition and lifestyle, which resonates with my belief that no diet fits all. 

Everyone is different, and to promote a sustainable change toward the healthiest version of ourselves, a broader approach is required. As a Health and Nutrition coach, my goal is to guide people to their unique well-being style, whether through diet adjustments, awareness of food behaviors, or healthier lifestyle choices.

MY WORK

Life is a journey and health is our path into it. This path can be smoother or rougher depending on how we face our active role in it.

It may be easy to understand this general concept, but we may struggle to change familiar, comfortable habits or connect our daily choices to the silent and cumulative effects that they have on our overall well-being.

The essence of my work is to investigate the possible causes that are preventing a person from achieving her health goals. Whether it is due to pro-inflammatory eating - eating sensitivities, gut imbalances, hormonal issues, inappropriate eating behaviors as a way to cope with stress - "emotional eating", lack of physical exercises, or the difficulty in connecting to the present moment - Mindfulness.

Self-knowledge is the key puzzle piece of our health. And the best way to achieve optimal health, both physical and emotional, is by finding a practical and healthy daily routine that takes into account our physiological individuality and fits into our present moment of life.

"Success doesn't come from what you occasionally do.

It comes from what you do consistently"

Review: "I've been working with Carla for several months. As my health coach, she has far exceeded my expectations. She is kind, smart, caters to my needs, and offers so many great ideas without being pushy.

 

Her energy is exuberant, and she is a joy to be with. But most of all I'm getting great results! Other people notice it too, and I do not hesitate to tell them how much Carla has helped me. Thank you so much, Carla!"
