All in One Coaching for Fitness & Health
Artistically engineered for you to live your healthy-fit Dream.
Drive + Accountability + Engineering = Success

After surviving Cancer since 2004 and turning into a Triathlete after training for 6 months, I have learned that everything is possible. I have done over 30 triathlons including the Alcatraz one twice and learning a lot about nutrition I have been featured in race blogs, sponsored by SONY and joined triathlon teams in Boston and Paris. I know how to get you in shape and to have a healthy nutrition just for you.

A custom program, audio and video 1 Live session.

I have a wealth of knowledge after surviving cancer and turning into a triathlete. My engineering background helped me get the online resources and connections with top athletes and coaches (Ben Greenfield, Kerry Sullivan, Bob Sully, Guto Antunes, Cica Carvalho, and local triathletes in Boston form the triathlon teams I trained with Zoom Multisport, BTT, Wheelworks) to lose weight and train for triathlons while staying healthy and balanced in my personal and work life.  I learned from my naturopath James D’Adamo, often referred as the father of Naturopathy, and Anne Ciavacci top Nutritionists at Dana Farber cancer institute. Singing and touring with the New England Conservatory Gospel choirs served as a tool to endure the mental challenges of getting back in shape and in control of my health. I also learned valuable lessons from top Harvard psychiatrist Joan Klagsburn who helped set mental structures and from many life coaches and spiritual leaders from MindValley, Ted McGrath, Katie Byron, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra to guide my soul-searching.

If I can do it, you can too. I didn’t know how to ride a bike, never dieted, never did any competition in my life and now I’ve done over 30 triathlons, got sponsored by SONY, swam Alcatraz twice and biked the Presidio plus took on kitesurfing! I could have never imagined it but the Cancer experience led me to a better life. I have but to feel grateful for it!

All these experiences in Boston and now from Paris have connected me with a special community all around the world and the source of my ongoing studies on triathlon, fitness and nutrition from Coaches Ben Greenfield, Kerry Sullivan, Robert Sullivan, training and sharing with world champions pro triathletes from Brasil Guto Antunes, Cica Carvalho and the many coaches and athletes from the tri teams in Boston and Paris.

Moving to Paris has taken quite of my time to resume the kind of training and racing that I had before but slowly and surely I am coming back. I have signed up for the city bike program to work on my bike balance which was the weakest of my disciplines. I have to thank life now I have a way to roam around the city which I never dared to in Boston. I only took my bike to a race or to train on a safe lonely road. I had never city biked in my life. I can now enjoy life in ways I never could. My love for the water became evident during this life exploration and now surfing and kitesurfing is pretty much part of my annual sports practice mostly in USA with my team there. We take annual trips to Hatteras and I slowly and surely advance in my kiting skills you can see me here in this video in 2016

The Cancer diagnosis led me to realize that I had to drastically change all my nutrition to fix years of “ignorance eating”. I was never fat looking but my diet was not the most conducive to a healthy immune system and function. I wasn’t getting enough protein and therefore depleting my immune system, I was eating too much sugar (cakes, chocolate candy) and carbs (pasta, bread etc) plus an excess of dairy products. I was eating veggies and fruits and no red meats but the excess of the other items weighed more on my nutrition. So I went on a quest to research to learn about my condition at the time and ways to recover my body, mind, and soul.

Before surviving cancer in 2004 I had only been involved in what the majority of the world calls fitness which involved going to a gym for aerobics or machine weight training and dance classes and rollerblading. My school had mandatory ballet and some years of gymnastics and I took Jazz dance classes twice a week and aerobics after school and college. I used to leisure swim in the pool or the sea growing up in Venezuela but in the USA I settled for hip hop & salsa dancing classes weekly and the occasional weight lifting. I started my adventure with sports in Boston learning to how to rollerblade and trying to learn to bike or ski with no luck.

But in 2004 after the lateral neck dissection surgery (cutting skin, muscle, nerves to extract my lymph nodes on my right) I was completely stalled from all exercise. I wouldn’t lift my right arm or hold a plastic cup of water nor walk without pain in my head from the bouncing of my body. I could not sleep on my right side or on my back so for more than a year I was sleeping on my left side. My body was sore and completely out of shape. I needed to restore my body and get it back in shape.

This search led me to 3 paths of research that I combined food, fitness, and mental/spiritual health. I started a strict diet and detox process to heal and replenish my body and restore it to its full potential through the D’Adamo Institute Drs. that use “eat right for your blood type“, iridology, and Chinese pulse diagnosis and taking their diet and dietary supplement suggestions to my nutritionist at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute for approval. It involved cutting out dairy, sugars, carbs and adding more soy, many multivitamins, lots of water and soy protein shakes. They started the recommendation of meditative walks and exercise that would calm my “nervous” energy to restore my “physical” energy. They recommended yoga, swimming and walking. So I started at home and since the gym was just behind I joined and began swimming once a week 5 min and walk/jog 5 min. I also decided that since I had had a horrible experience with spinning once, that I should take it up and try it again at my pace once a week. Little did I know I was joining the most intense super spinning class with who later became my Triathlon Coach Robert Sullivan!

I started slowly with no resistance and at my own pace but the music the coach played was super cool and I was inspired by his body because he looked balanced and toned in his body and overdone and had a super energy that I wanted to summon to myself. I began all 3 sports running, swimming, biking at the gym and little by little my body started getting back in shape. I had done one year of the nutrition routine before starting to work on my body in January 2009. I had lost over 14 lbs and finally was back to the edge of normal BMI which was my goal to start toning my body. After 6 months someone suggested to get into triathlons which I had never known about and as intense as I am, regardless of the fact that I did not know how to ride a bike, I bought one over the internet, assembled it myself and joined the local online tri community in Boston.

I taught myself how to bike in the basement of my building with the help of my brother holding the racing bike for me to mount it. I would practice only 15min per day. Finally, after singing at the Ted Kennedy funeral I got inspired and went home to challenge myself to mount the bike and start on my own and Voila! I did it. I was so excited I went upstairs to my home and registered for my first triathlon that September 2009. My swim had been just up to 15min per session and I had already started racing my first 5k arriving almost last. My first 5k, I could not run the whole 5k and the second it was so hot and my posture was so bad I could barely stand straight and breathe at the end. That was my preparation for my first triathlon and after that, I began the most amazing adventure of my life. I discovered that I was a natural long distance fast open water swimmer and after applying the Total Immersion techniques I was a fish and I even had a chance to have a master class with Terry the founder of that technique. Running and cycling remain my challenges but I learned with training that I can run faster as I train efficiently and that I can improve my cycling the same way too.

I fell in love with training, my body changed, my energy changed, my muscles and health was the best it had ever been in my life and everyone notice and demanded advice and guidance. I  have Cancer to thank for that. At some point I was training 6 times a week all three sports, singing in 10 choirs and my band, dancing in my salsa team once or twice a week and kitesurfing. I felt unstoppable. I can’t believe I  raced the Alcatraz triathlon twice and I would do it again. By 2011 I was featured in the Digital Guide by the TriCaliformia event as a “Woman of Alcatraz” Click here for the article. It also led me to have the experience to be a volunteer for the BAA Boston Marathon and be a witness of the 2013 Bombing at my finish line post.
