  • You have a powerful mind, a super-intelligent body, and a mysterious inner healing system which, when given the right conditions, can heal you and give you a long and healthy life.
  • Every day, your life demands that you find your purpose and meaning. When you discover your vocation —your purpose —you discover the meaning of your life,  together with positivity, enthusiasm, energy, good health, and longevity.

If you believe you need a good counselor who can help you build a fuller, healthier, and happier life, my skills in Functional Nutrition, Lifestyle and Wellness, Herbalism, Mindfulness Meditation, and DreamBuilding Coaching can guide you towards a transformed life.

With over 27 years of experience in business and e-commerce, website development, and internet marketing, I can help you start a new online business.
Whether you would like to launch a blog, personal website, or e-commerce website, or need assistance with auditing an existing website for design, user-friendliness, functionality, and search engine marketing, you are in the right place.

I built my dream life by dreaming and working consistently towards achieving each dream.
I have succeeded in understanding my own body’s discontents, intolerances, and stress-based dis-eases, and I can prevent them successfully with the knowledge I have acquired over the last 25 years.
I believe we can all remain strong and healthy if we know what causes illness and disease and how we can protect our bodies against them.
We have a powerful inner healing system that works 24/7 to keep us alive and healthy. We need to get to know and respect it and our whole body’s systems in order to experience many years in good shape and in a state of wellness.

 

MY STORY

I am a businesswoman with 27 years of experience in International Business, E-Commerce, and Internet Marketing.
I am also a Counselor and a Coach! I have enriched my vocation to include Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle, Herbalism, Health and Wellness, DreamBuilding, and Life Transformation, making it a  Life 360-degree Approach, or what we call a full circle. When you are healthy and have great dreams, you can achieve everything with the help of a cheerleader, a charismatic adult who believes in your dreams and encourages you to keep up the good work. This is the work of a coach or a counselor.
I moved towards health, lifestyle changes, and life transformation because this is what all humans want to understand: how to be satisfied and live the good life.
We have it in us to want to live long, healthy, and happy lives.
For that, we need knowledge and understanding. In a word, we need wisdom!
Wisdom comes with living, learning, and practicing, through wonder, curiosity, and creativity, and mainly through an understanding of ourselves and the world.

My qualifications include a degree in Nursing, an MA in Philology, a Professional Diploma in Management, an MBA in Internet Marketing, and certifications in Search Engine Marketing and Global Marketing.
If you need a website, whether for blogging, presentation, or selling products and services, like an e-commerce website, you are in the right place!

In my new fields of passion, Health, Wellness, Longevity, and Life Transformation, I have the following qualifications:
– Functional Nutrition Alliance certificate as an FNLP –Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner.
– Clinical Herbal Medicine Practitioner – David Winston’s Center for Herbal Studies 2-year program and Cornell University Medicinal Plants Certificate.
– Harvard Medical School Executive Program certificate in Lifestyle and Coaching.
I am in the process of becoming certified as a:
– DreamBuilder® Coach (in training) through the Life Mastery Institute, a Brave Thinking Institute program.
– Mindfulness Meditation Teacher (in training) through Sean Fargo’s internationally accredited program, Mindfulness Exercises.
– CCTP Certified Trauma Professional Training Level 1 (in training) with Janina Fisher, Ph.D., Licensed Clinical Psychologist and an international expert in the treatment of trauma.
– Advanced Dual Health and Life Coach Certification Program (in training), a 6-month course scheduled to be completed in April 2026, followed by an NBHWC board exam, the gold standard in health coaching.

As a Functional Nutrition, Lifestyle, and Wellness counselor, I empower clients to navigate disruptive life events and learn to maintain healthy living patterns even in the face of stressful and challenging circumstances.
I partner with my clients to enhance their health and wellbeing by identifying the root causes of their ailments, making nutrition and lifestyle adjustments, and using skills and strategies that can transform their body-mind in meaningful ways. I offer a full-circle approach that looks at Mind, Body, Emotions, and Spirituality.

I establish rapport with my clients in a positive, non-judgmental coaching process, and create a safe virtual space where we craft action steps together. My purpose is to guide and elicit answers and solutions to the client’s problems, rather than offer my own. The client knows what’s best and most feasible for them, so I am there to foster strong motivation and involvement. With my client’s permission, I share the latest, scientifically based data to enhance success in becoming healthier and more satisfied with life. I also work with my clients’ s doctors to offer a different perspective and fill any remaining gaps.

Disclaimer:

My services are educational and coaching-based, not medical treatment or psychotherapy.

My services fall within the following scope: Functional Nutrition, Herbalism, Lifestyle, Mindset, Dream-building, and Online Business development and Strategy.

I do not diagnose or treat diseases. I do not prescribe medication or therapy for mental illness.

The best results come when transformation starts from within.

A HOLISTIC APPROACH

From a Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle perspective, I offer guidance on most health issues and collaborate with the medical professionals who treat our clients.

From a Harvard Lifestyle Medicine perspective, I use the six pillars of health and the COACH Approach. In my coaching sessions, there is no place for blame, guilt, or judgment.

Dream Building is about personal growth and transformation, while Mindful Meditations, Positive Psychology, and Trauma Coaching complement the other programs.

E-commerce and website setup and auditing services can help any Dreambuilder to start a new business or improve on an existing one. The future belongs to those who use of technology!

Functional Nutrition & LIFESTYLE Counseling Explained

  • I offer a free Clarity call —a complementary 30-minute call to discuss the scope of work. For Nutrition & Lifestyle, please BOOK THE CLARITY CALL.
    During the call, we will discuss your goals and how we can work together using the Functional Nutrition, Lifestyle, and Wellness approach.
  • After agreeing to proceed with nutrition & lifestyle counseling, we will explore in more detail the client’s health history and discuss information, identify root causes, and address areas that need improvement.
  • We will work together to address the root causes of any symptoms the client is experiencing and any health concerns. We begin by “changing the terrain” so the body can start regaining its optimal function.
  •  The First Client Case Review is a two-session process in which we collect information for a comprehensive assessment of the client’s health history and current condition.
  • This is followed by introducing the client’s data in a timeline of events and triggers, providing a bird’s-eye view of their life events and health issues.
    The client receives forms that document important aspects of nutrition, elimination, sleep, movement, medications, labs, supplements, etc.
  • The next session discusses the client’s matrix, which I create to bring things into perspective and show how the main body systems, mind-emotions, and lifestyle affect the client’s health, presented as a map-like image populated with relevant data.
  • The next session discusses recommendations, and the client receives an action plan he/she need to implement.
  • A follow-up scheduling occurs.

We learn a lot, and it’s never enough.
We discover and get to know ourselves through self-care, curiosity, and attentive study.
We want to achieve better health and greater happiness.
We are in the pursuit of wisdom and knowledge, seeking to understand what constitutes a good life and how we can best live it.
Where do we get wisdom from?
Learning wisdom is a lifelong process that starts at birth. It comes through people and lessons, through observation and constant learning.

My many interests and passions are a gift that I am willing to share with all those who need good mind-body health, and want to live a long and good life and into it.
