ABOUT ME
Después de la primer cena en mi restó a puerta cerrada
Cuando aún existÃan las almejas en la playa...
Primer dÃa de clases con los peques
Después de la primer cena en mi restó a puerta cerrada
I was born in the city of Neuquén and I was lucky enough to learn what I was passionate about since I was little, although I didn't realize it until I was an adult. At the age of 3 I learned to ski and I have the most beautiful memories in the kitchen cooking with my mother and the lady who at that time took care of my sisters and me. Back then, they were my hobbies. When I was 18 years old, I had to pick between being a ski instructor or pursuing a "typical" career ... finally, I moved to Buenos Aires to study Industrial Engineering. I finished the career with a thesis in pursuit of ecology and health ... It was the closest thing at that time to the call of my heart... but since it did not meet capitalism standards I had to change it and so, from my perspective, it lost its purpose. Then I started working in different multinationals. At that time skiing was between a platonic love and a pending issue ... I could enjoy it with friends or family for a few years on my vacations ... during the rest of the year I would disconnect from the bustle going to cooking lessons and cooking banquets for my loved ones .

One day, I woke up and found myself living in a city where I was not happy at all and I decided to request a job transfer… in less than a week I had a ticket to Rosario city, a place I did not know, but it sounded promising. Without a doubt, one of the best decisions I made in my entire life. There I began my spiritual path - a great development and personal growth - between yoga, meditation, Buddhism, Ayurvedic massages and numerous holistic activities that led me to know and listen to myself more and more. Thus began my metamorphosis, I went from specializing in cooking meats to the magical world of legumes, algae, seeds, whole grains, ferments and probiotics...
​
At the age of 33, after an enlightening massage session, I decided to take the ski instructor training… and so I went to Andorra, trained for a month and obtained my Canadian title. It was very intense. I chose to teach skiing to children and discovered how much fun I have with the little ones! At last I was able to be at peace with that debt. Back in Rosario, I returned to the routine and trained as an Ayurvedic massage therapist and after many years of listening to my family and friends encouraging me, I began to give cooking lessons. I have no words to describe the LOVE I felt the first time I gave a class... enough so that a year later I was quitting my job to go for that special thing that made my heart happy. So I started what I call ¨Cooking Engineering¨... between detox juices, frozen food, lessons, private chef, catering... in continuous growth and creation, today I can finally make “my thesis in well-being” come true with experiences that involve everything that I love: sharing my knowledge and helping people through gastronomy and Ayurvedic practices .
You believe what you believe ... the power is in you.
I accompany you in this journey, how we choose to be and live!
