Hi, I'm Vivian and I'm here to help you
Born in Montevideo (Uruguay) in 1968, I have been living in Berlin (Germany) since 2007 with interim stays in the USA and Colombia. I am a menopause and nutrition counsellor, hormone specialist, foodie, hobby cook of mainly vegetarian and vegan dishes and flexitarian by conviction. Working with individuals (mainly women), businesses and organizations around the world, I provide science-based information and support around menopause.
Because every woman and every menopause is unique
I am here to convey to you that, while both aging and the associated hormonal changes are inevitable, you can minimize the associated discomfort by making the changes that your body and mind need, but above all by seeing this stage as a “turning point” where you have the possibility to decide where you want your “ship” to go.
The challenge is to find your own way to experience this phase of your life with joy and well-being.
As a menopause and nutrition counsellor and a hormone specialist, I accompany you with empathy, flexibility and scientific support, giving you the information and support you need to reach your goals and become the best version of yourself.
