My Story
I was born in Chile, grew up in Italy, and have lived between South America, Europe, and the ocean. Experiencing different countries, cultures, and ways of living shaped the way I see wellbeing today.
It taught me that there is no one-size-fits-all way of living well.
For years, I worked onboard private and charter yachts as Chief Stewardess. From the outside, life at sea looked exciting — travel, beautiful destinations, and unique experiences. And in many ways, it was.
But behind the scenes, it also came with long hours, high expectations, constant pressure, and very little space to truly care for myself.
Over time, I started feeling disconnected from my body, my energy, my emotional wellbeing, and myself.
I had become very good at taking care of everyone else, staying composed, and keeping things running smoothly. But internally, I could feel that something was no longer working.
That became my turning point.
I began exploring nutrition, emotional wellbeing, movement, mindfulness, stress management, nervous system regulation, and the connection between our inner and outer world.
Movement had always been important to me. The gym gave me consistency, and yoga became a way to feel grounded while living in a fast-paced environment. I also became deeply curious about nutrition and how food affects energy, mood, and wellbeing.
Over time, I learned that wellbeing is not about perfection or following one fixed formula. It is about understanding your body, your needs, your lifestyle, and what truly supports you.
This journey eventually led me to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I deepened my understanding of holistic health and developed an approach that honours the body, mind, emotions, lifestyle, and personal purpose.
Today, through Ocean Aligned, I support people navigating demanding lifestyles — including those in the yachting industry — to reconnect with themselves and create sustainable wellbeing from the inside out.
I believe wellbeing is not about becoming someone else. It is about returning to yourself.
