Hi, I’m Alma.

Overcoming my own health challenges has sparked my interest in nutrition, holistic self- care and mind-body connection. Ultimately, these challenges and experiences have led me to where I am today – Certified Holistic Health Coach, aspiring Functional Nutrition Counselor and Lifestyle Practitioner (FNCLP), and in the next few months I am also diving into aromatherapy with plant medicine – essential oils.

My own journey with health and wellness began when I was 15 years old just starting high school and still continues on today. Cystic acne, an eating disorder and mild depression were all part of my everyday teenage life. Back then getting my hands on just one book by Paul Bragg has helped me make profound changes in my health and wellbeing. It was also the time when I arrived in US and got busy with student life – I was a thriving happy and healthy young woman.

Fast forward 15 years, after getting married and having my first baby, I was suffering from postpartum depression, I was so ashamed of my psychological state, I did not tell anyone – even my very supportive and loving husband, nor my mom, nor my closest girlfriend.

It was a very lonely place...another few years later I found myself in even lonelier place with a chronic condition that would only be treated with antibiotics by traditional western medicine. Back then I was not aware of the existence of functional medicine, alternative medicine, aromatherapy, etc.

But I was not ready to accept my new chronically ill state as my new normal and started doing my own research. I also enrolled in the Holistic Health & Wellness program and started implementing the new diet and lifestyle changes into my life. My health issues faded away like a bad dream, and I became a firm believer that what we put in our bodies and into our minds has the real power to transform us as a person physically and mentally.

Today I am an entrepreneur and a holistic health coach with the passion to guide my clients in making informed decisions and give them the knowledge and tools to find balance in their body, mind and spirit, and ultimately, become the advocate for their own health.
