I grew up in Brazil and I was very active playing sports. When I moved to the USA in 1994, I faced many difficulties. Fitness and my faith  gave me the strength to overcome the challenges that a foreigner encounters when embracing a new culture and  a new language. Inspired by my mother, I have always been passionate about living a healthy and active lifestyle and I made it my life's mission to help others do the same. That led me to become a Certified Personal Trainer through AAFA and NASM, and a bodybuilder competitor with over 20 years of experience helping women to achieve their goals, whether it be weight loss, strength training, or simply improving their overall health.  

As I am a middle aged woman, I understand that it can be a challenging time for women physically, emotionally and mentally specially regarding menopause. So many changes occur in this phase in our lives. But it can be much easier than what you imagine! For this reason, I decided to become a Life Coach as well with emphasis in emotional/mental health, which is critical for the wellness of an individual. 

If you're looking to improve your health and wellness, you came to the right spot! I am here to help! With my expertises, a sincere love for women, I can guide you towards a healthier, happier, and more active lifestyle.
