I provided support to their employees by organizing health fairs, teaching group classes, and creating educational resources on topics such as diabetes management.

My name is Rocio Rodriguez. I have been working in the massage field for the last 16 years. Originally, I started off in college as a physical therapist major.

Massage therapy allowed me to develop a deep relationship with my clients in order to get a better understanding of their aliments. My massage practice is about helping the client heal physical and spiritual wounds.

After encountering several health issues that lead to weight gain, constant bloating, depression, and infertility, I worked with multiple healthcare professionals to help myself get back on track. After years of ups and downs, I finally decided to take my health in my own hands and entered into a MS program to learn more about nutrition and functional medicine. It allowed me not only solve my health issues that no one could, but also to get pregnant after multiple years of unsuccessful attempts. Your daily nutrition is either a poison or a medicine, and I am excited to help you find an optimal balance between health and food!

Hi! I’m Jenny, a passionate Latina dietitian dedicated to simplifying diabetes management. My journey into this field began at the age of 8 when I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. From that moment, I knew I wanted to help others navigate the complexities of diabetes without unnecessary stress. As a Latina, I deeply understand the significance of our cultural foods. They’re not just meals; they’re the heart of our celebrations and the bonds we share with loved ones, often filled with delicious carbs!

Over the years, I developed a protocol for painlessly breaking unhealthy habits-eating too much sugar, late night eating, endless snacking, body bashing-with healthy habits, like craving vegetables, making better food choices, and honoring, respecting, and loving your body.

I work with women to help them come into alignment with their own unique rhythm with food + weight.

I believe that there are three fundamental elements of a happy, contented life. One, we need to be able to eat, digest, and eliminate every day. Two, we need to be able to sleep well. Third, we need good sex life. Based on these three elements, we build life and pursuit dreams. However, stress, unhealthy diet and eating habits, and many environmental pollutions make the foundation of our lives unbalanced, thus, we experience depression, anxiety, digestive disorder and sexual dysfunction. My mission is to help people to build a healthy foundation of life with happiness an contentment.
