My Autoimmune and Coaching Journey
As someone who has battled Hashimoto’s thyroiditis for the past at least 27 years (and undiagnosed for a long time), I understand the profound impact that this condition can have on one’s life. My journey with Hashimoto’s was a challenging one, marked by years of struggling with fatigue, brain fog, and persistent weight issues that seemed insurmountable. Before receiving my diagnosis, I sought answers from various doctors, but my symptoms were often dismissed as the natural result of two pregnancies and of being a mother of two young children, especially since my husband’s frequent travel left me shouldering most of the responsibilities.
It wasn’t until I was finally diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis that I began to connect the dots between my health challenges and this autoimmune condition. What I discovered is that Hashimoto’s can serve as the hidden trigger for other unexpected health issues. In my case, a severe hypertension episode in 2020 and, recently, digestive problems emerged as unexpected companions to my Hashimoto’s journey.
At a pivotal moment in my life—already certified as a Life Coach—I felt a deep call to go beyond mindset work and truly understand my body and its messages. Living with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis had become both a challenge and a teacher, guiding me toward a more integrative approach to health and healing. This led me to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I became a Certified Integrative Health Coach and began exploring how nutrition, lifestyle, and emotional balance could restore vitality and purpose.
Alongside this, I immersed myself in energy healing practices and later discovered the profound wisdom of Qi Gong, a discipline that reconnected me to my body’s natural flow and resilience. My journey came full circle when, under the care of an Integrated Medicine doctor trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, I began to experience firsthand how ancient healing principles—rooted in balance, energy, and prevention—could transform not only my health, but my entire way of living.
As a single mother of two teenagers, I’ve learned that resilience isn’t about pushing through—it’s about harmonizing with life’s rhythms. Every challenge, every small victory has taught me to slow down, to listen deeply, and to live with intention.
When life led me to Barcelona in 2022, this philosophy of slow living became the foundation for both my personal and professional evolution. What began as “Project Prosperity” has now grown into The Bridge Center of Transformation—a sanctuary where science meets soul, and where women with Hashimoto’s and other autoimmune challenges can rediscover balance, energy, and joy.
My mission is simple yet profound: to help women nurture the whole self—body, mind, and spirit—so they can thrive, not just manage. Guided by the wisdom of ancient traditions and supported by modern science, I invite my clients to explore their bio-individuality, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and create a life that aligns with their natural rhythms and deepest truth.
Welcome to The Bridge Center! I’m excited to walk this path with you, and I firmly believe that there’s no better time than now to reclaim your power and embrace a life of thriving.
From my heart to yours!
