Testimonials

  • — Joana

    Hi! I'm Joana, I am 32 years old and I have spent the last 10 years of my life vomiting, and with my feeling of pain. I have always been medically monitored and have completed several treatments in recent years without success.

    Today I am a new person! I learned to respect my body and choose nutritious food. I've never felt so healthy in my life and I haven't vomited for 6 months.

    What made my journey unique was Marisa's clear approach to the fact that we weren't going on a diet like so many others, but rather a gradual change in lifestyle and the way I ate. I cannot thank you enough for the professional approach and determination throughout the entire process despite my initial reluctance.

  • — Tânia

    Marisa escapes the traditional nutritionist (I don't say it as a bad thing for “traditional” nutritionists, just that she is the perfect fit for patients like me: who seek information, who like to get to the root cause). Marisa has knowledge from her initial training on health, which linked to nutrition is a real talisman! In addition to being a curious, committed and extremely professional person!

    During my conception journey, she helped me fight a very difficult POS that made me gain 13kg! The focus has always been conception and not weight loss. The focus was on helping the body regulate itself by becoming less inflamed to help support conception! And so it was: we started by being able to have cycles every 2 months (I hadn't menstruated for almost 1 year post-pill) and then the nutritious food allowed me to be able to withstand aggressive hormone treatment with injections! It worked!! And today, almost 39 weeks pregnant , I am very grateful to have Marisa in my life!
