i built the coaching i needed but never had.
i grew up in Brazil doing ballet. and i never felt like i belonged there — not because i couldn't dance, but because i wasn't skinny enough. i spent years looking at my body and seeing everything wrong with it. dreaming about the day i'd actually feel comfortable in a bikini.
when i came to the US to study at Drew University, something shifted. i started taking nutrition and neuroscience classes and for the first time i understood — my body wasn't the problem. my habits were. and habits could be changed.
so i made a challenge to myself. go to the gym five times a week for two months. no excuses.
i followed through. and that was the first time in my life i did exactly what i said i would do.
that level of discipline didn't just change my body. it changed my grades, my confidence, my entire relationship with myself. i finally understood what it felt like to be someone who keeps her word — even to herself.
after graduating with a degree in biology i got certified as a personal trainer and nutrition coach — through NASM and Prescript — and never looked back.
six years and over 5,000 women later, this is still the work that means the most to me.
i'm Brazilian. my family is still there and i miss them every single day. but i built something here that i'm deeply proud of — a business that lets me do work i love and take care of the people i love. that means everything to me.
i believe most women don't need more willpower. they need the right plan, the right support, and someone who actually understands how the body works.
my biology and neuroscience background isn't a line on my resume. it's the reason i coach the way i do — evidence based, never extreme, always built around your real life.
