Im happy to share that I’ve received my certification as a Functional Medicine practitioner from the Institute for Functional Medicine. I am the first certified from IFM in Puerto Rico. This goal was set in 2019 as I started my Masters in Nutrition based on the Functional Medicine paradigm at The University of Bridgeport. I then had the incredible opportunity to complete my Functional Nutrition Residency Program with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald clinic. Meanwhile gaining 9 years of clinical experience and mentorship from my beautiful friend and mentor Dr. Brooke Leason, a true healer, at El Centro Naturopatico in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
I’ve spent the last 2 years immersed in IFM’s Advanced Practice Modules, diving deep into biochemical pathways and gained a deeper understanding of clinical imbalances and tools to help my clients. I took the hardest exam I’ve taken, that was designing for medical doctors and practitioners and learned this week that I passed. I feel immensely blessed and grateful and look forward to applying my skills and helping my clients in their healing journeys.
