However, my interest in math, physics, and emerging technologies led me to pursue a career in Electrical Engineering in my home country of Venezuela. Later, driven by my focus on excellence and growth in leadership roles, I pursued advanced degrees in Business Management in both Venezuela and the United States. My professional path eventually led me to managerial roles in both the government and corporate sectors.When my children were very young, I decided to put my professional career on hold and focus on being a mother. After dedicating time to raising my family, I found I have lost balance in my own health from a lack of knowledge of proper nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management—which ultimately resulted in health problems. I knew it was time to prioritize my own well-being. I began self-studying and learning how to improve my overall health, starting with addressing my gut health. Although it's always a work in progress, the improvements in my energy levels and overall enthusiasm have been life changing.This personal transformation, combined with my growing understanding about Functional Medicine, reignited my passion for health and wellness. I realized that healing begins with recognizing the root causes of issues, not merely treating the symptoms. This conviction led me to reflect on what had always truly inspired me.I made the decision to pivot my career and dedicate myself to helping others transform their health and well-being. As a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach and NBC-HWC, I now partner with individuals to find balance in their lifestyle through lasting changes in nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, stress management, and fulfilling relationships. My mission is to help people reconnect with their innate potential to heal, thrive and live long, meaningful lives.
