General Info

About me

I studied Nutrition because I realized I was passionate about foods and their preventive power in relation to the human being's health. I find fascinating how a healthy nutrition and an active way of life can have such a powerful impact on the body and soul.
What I enjoy the most about my job is the second consultation. It is then when a patient is convinced and understands that the changes made actually paid off; it's when they realize all they can accomplish!
