When I was 15, I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. I had random muscle aches, my digestion was off, my immune system wasn’t working, and I felt extremely tired, even after sleeping 12 hours. I couldn’t go to school and I was walking with a cane.

 

The doctors told me: "You just have a small energy bucket and you need to learn how to live with it."  I refused to accept this and knew I could work on my health, run upstairs again soon, and build the life I really wanted for myself. My stubbornness became my superpower.

 

When nobody could give me the answers to my extreme fatigue, I had no choice but to coach myself and experiment with meditation, having a daily routine, changing my diet, optimizing my sleep quality, diving the tiny amount of energy I had over the activities that matter most to me, and planning empty moments of recovery before planning anything else… I refused to take any medication and I got better little bit by little bit.

 

I found my answers in Functional Medicine and in the Peruvian lifestyle. I moved to Peru when I was 21 and it completely changed my life and my health. All of a sudden, I could work full-time, dance salsa, have a vibrant social life, work as a professional singer, and live with a more flexible agenda so I could listen to my body when I needed to.

 

I learned how to balance my Belgian structured side and my Peruvian spontaneous side. I always said: “A mix of these two cultures would be the best lifestyle!” - So here I am teaching my clients exactly how to be structured and productive while still listening to their bodies, enjoying the moment, and staying flexible.

 

I never thought I’d help others improve their health. I had been studying and experimenting with myself for the past 10 years to improve my own health, not thinking about helping others. I was fully immersed in the business world with my bachelor’s degree in Intercultural Relations Management. I worked in international companies as an Office Manager, Operations Manager, and in Peru, I was the General Manager of a Spanish School.

 

I decided to change careers and I became a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach. I find myself coaching mostly busy professionals and executives thanks to my business background. I decided to build a global community of Healthy High Achievers with driven minds who want to build healthier routines and avoid burnout, so they can feel more calm, healthy, and happy.

 

I’d love to support you on your journey toward better health!
