Hi, my name is Kelly. I’m a wife and a mom of two wonderful children. I’m originally from Brazil, I speak Portuguese, Spanish and English. I’m a Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach trained by the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, as well as a Certified Positive Discipline Educator.

As a certified Functional Medicine health coach, I received training to help clients identify the root cause of their concerns, and in the process, co-create with them an achievable and sustainable plan that works best for their lifestyle.

It’s a top priority for me to work with each client at their own pace and comfort level. No matter how far they are in their journey towards healing, I strive to create the most nurturing and effective experience. In doing so, it becomes a great reward to personally have the opportunity to witness transformation and healing one day at a time in the lives of these clients.
I’m also a Certified Positive Discipline educator and love working with parents that are interested in having a more nurturing, respectful stress -free relationship with their children and teens by applying the growth mindset approach.

A bit about my healing journey…

My healing journey started about 14 years ago when I had my first born. My precious son was born with a variety of allergies (the skin on his face was constantly itchy, red and oozing). At that time, I was desperate and  I went to see a reputable dermatologist who happened to be a surgeon that recommended a series of antibiotics and cortisol creams. At first I was skeptical as I was never a fan of drugs, however not knowing exactly what was the cause of it, left me wondering and thought I was doing the right thing. Little did I know that his skin got thinner and he seemed to be weak during  the conventional treatments. His problem did not to go away. I found myself very hopeless and stressed out with the whole situation. It was very sad and disheartening to see my new born already struggling with so much. So, I decided to get some lab work for myself  and sure enough I find out that the problem was not with my baby, but with me. I found out that I had an auto immune condition that affects the thyroid gland (Hashimoto’s), therefore affecting my pregnancy as well my baby and the quality of my milk.

For many years I’ve struggled with low energy, feeling cold all the time, forgetfulness, brain frog, depression and poor sleep. I would feel bloated after each meal and did not know what was really happening, I actually thought that it was normal part of the aging process ( hello I was only 27 years old at that time) From that day on, it was a journey of discovery, adaptation, many changes and much healing for me and for my baby (now a strong healthy athletic teenager)

Through the power of personalized medicine, the power of nutrient dense foods, stress management, mindfulness and body work, I was finally able to be a functioning mom with energy to enjoy life again.

Many friends and family approaches me on regular basis for help and advice. This experience has prompted me to join the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy to get professional training, so I could  help so many that have been struggling with their health.

I’m a firm believer that no matter what you are experiencing in life right now, you have the power to turn into a blessing, by intentionally making one small change towards healing, one day at the time.
