ABOUT ME
Hello! I'm Karla, a deconstructed nutritionist focused on non-weight-centered treatments. My life's mission is to promote people's well-being, helping you enjoy a peaceful life and find happiness living in your own body. How? By helping you heal your relationship with your body and food.
My approach focuses on reconnecting with the body's inner wisdom, offering support and guidance so you can understand it deeply and trust its biological needs.
In addition, I have the professional foundation to provide support in specific nutrition processes, such as:
Insulin Resistance
Diabetes
Hypertension
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Pregnancy
Post-Bariatric Surgery Treatment, among others
My goal is to provide you with personalized, non-weight-focused nutrition care, because I firmly believe that all bodies deserve the same rights to health.
MY STORY
I studied for my bachelor's and master's degrees in nutrition under a traditional approach, believing that a person's health is entirely their responsibility and linked to their body size. During my first years in practice, I realized that both my patients and I were obsessed with our body size, and I often believed that if they didn't achieve their goals, it was due to a "lack of willpower." Today, I can acknowledge that I was part of the sacrifice, restriction, and suffering of those patients who followed my recommendations in an attempt to change their bodies at all costs.
What changed? Shortly after, I was diagnosed with an eating disorder (ED), and after my own ongoing recovery, I began to shift my focus.
Today, the treatment I provide my patients is completely different from what I offered when I graduated. It is much more loving, compassionate, and focused on helping my patients reconnect and recognize their body's needs so they can heal their relationship with food and their bodies. In my practice, there are no scales, nor do we discuss patients' weight. Instead, we focus on analyzing other determinants of health to assess their starting point and progress. Today, I focus on helping my patients feel free to inhabit their bodies, prioritizing values such as equality and respect for bodily diversity.
