Raised in a loving Portuguese family, I grew up surrounded by strong values of faith, family, hard work and the best Portuguese food. My experiences – from working out with my mom as a child to being inspired by my Auntie Mary’s passion for health and fitness – fueled my lifelong passion for wellness.
With the best energy and influences around me, I always wanted to take the best care of my body and build on my learnings over the years. I loved working out and experimenting with making healthy meals, to finding non-toxic beauty and household products, juicing, infrared saunas, ozone therapy, supplements, epsom salt soaks, becoming aware of energy transfer and so much more. I loved sharing what I'd learn with anyone who came into my path that wanted to know about it!
In 2014 I faced the devastating loss of my mother, then my father in 2021. A few months after my dad’s passing, my dear friend Rochelle, and a year later my Auntie Mary. I struggled to manage the stress and grief as my sister battled a serious illness that doctors could not explain. In and out of the best hospitals in Boston with no answers, we were left feeling abandoned and failed by the healthcare system. It wasn’t until she began working with a functional medicine team and began to detox and incorporate holistic practices did she start to regain her health.
As an Integrative Health Practitioner, IHP2, I am equipped to help individuals identify and address root cause imbalances in the body using tools such as at-home functional medicine lab tests, proven protocols that incorporate scientifically backed supplements, and lifestyle adjustments to bring the body back to a state of equilibrium where it can thrive.
As a Breathwork Detox Facilitator, I personally have experienced deep healing through this powerful tool that I now share with others to help transform their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Breathwork has helped me move through grief, stress, and limiting beliefs, and I am passionate about guiding others to do the same.
With an MBA and over 25 years in corporate America, including roles at Alex and Ani and Abacus - CBD Clinic, I bring a unique blend of corporate experience and holistic health expertise to my work. Today, as a certified IHP and Breathwork Detox Facilitator, I am excited to coach individuals to elevate their wellness; to thrive, and to extend the quality of the years that life has for each and every one of us!
