My Background

My health journey started when I was just a kid. Since I have a memory, I was a sick little girl: my immune system was really weak, I was exhausted all day, till the point of not having energy to get up from the couch or play sports. I was suffering from ENT infections constantly and under antibiotics every time. At 5 years old I was diagnosed with asthma, dermatitis and several allergies. My metabolism was slow, I couldn’t lose weight and I started comparing my body with my girlfriend’s. At 12 years old I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and put under thyroid medication which worked out for a short period of time till my body started getting used to it, which led to increasing the dose every time.

At the age of 14 I started experiencing eating disorders followed by over training, till the point of weighing 50 kg and losing my period. That continued for a couple years. 

I was obsessed with beauty, aesthetics, exercise and dieting. I started med school when I was 18 years old, with the dream of becoming a plastic surgeon. I was doing great, but being immersed in books 24/7 without being able to travel or even train took me to dark places. 

I promised myself that I was going to own my own clinic some day, and I got my degree in Business while working and travelling. During this time my body distortion issues never abandoned me, now, instead of a skinny body and bones, I wanted to be muscular and ripped. I start training 6 days a week, dieting, like if I was preparing to compete.

I reached my 25th years old with a hormonal mess, an extremely damaged gut, chronic candidates (which persisted for 4 years and led me to desperation) and psoriasis. 

Now I’m 26, I’m in a toxic abusive relationship, I’m working 10 hours a day, studying and just about to graduate, obsessed with my boy and overtraining, eating chicken and broccoli, my gut and immune system are a mess, I’m partying every weekend. I live in constant fight or flight mode. I’ve finally reached the body image that I wanted but, to which price? My health. 

I lost myself. I don’t know who I am anymore. I just want to know who I really am and not who society or my family wanted me to be. I decided to leave the country.

That brings me to Australia. I always wanted to live in Europe but I decided to come to Australia first, just for 1 year. Covid hit, and that year became 4 years. This move was the most challenging and rewarding experience of my life, and the reward was beautiful: I found myself. I start healing from the inside out. I start observing my beliefs and childhood trauma, I stop victimising and I start dealing with my own shit. 

I started studying the human body and its natural healing processes. 

I started loving myself and MY body for the first time in my life. 

I changed my habits, I set up new goals, many of them were accomplished in a short period of time. 

I healed myself. Every single disease that I was diagnosed with. I was finally free. 

And at that time I knew what my mission was.

My Focus

I focus on women experiencing gut issues, weight lost resistance, stress, body image issues, lack of confidence, autoimmune disorders and hormonal imbalances and I help them to gain health and become the best version of themselves.
