ABOUT ME
I am Mercedes, a family physician and lifestyle medicine practitioner born in Argentina. I believe that health and illness are polarities that represent a profound journey of self-discovery. I believe that mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health are interconnected, and each of these factors is crucial for our overall well-being and overall healing.
Healing is more than just treating symptoms; it's about reconnecting with our own essence and healing from the inside out. I believe in the power of holistic medicine to address the root causes of illness, understanding that alignment between body, emotion, and mind is necessary for healing. By doing so, we can discover who we really are: powerful divine beings.
My mission is to guide people toward this discovery of their true selves. I'm here to help you create your healthiest life through habit changes, ensuring you live a healthy and fulfilling life. Together, we'll explore how to create and live from our authentic being, experiencing ourselves from the "I am". I'm here to support you every step of the way on your wellness journey.
Thank you for considering me as your partner in this journey of health and wellness. I'm excited to join you on this transformative journey towards embracing our divinity and living life to the fullest!
My Method
Lifestlye Medicine
Lifestyle medicine is a specialized field that focuses on using evidence-based practices and lifestyle interventions as a primary approach to prevent, manage, and even reverse chronic health conditions. Rather than only relying on medications or procedures, I am trained to prescribe personalized changes in key areas of life based on six pillars:
-
Regular, consistent physical activity is a big part of staying healthy, strong and resilienct.
-
Evidence supports the use of a whole food, plant-predominant diet to prevent, treat and reverse chronic illness.
-
Effectively managing negative stress levels can alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and immune dysfunction, leading to improved well-being.
-
Enhancing sleep quality can positively impact attention span, mood, insulin resistance, and appetite regulation, reducing feelings of hunger and sluggishness.
-
Cultivating positive social connections has been proven to have beneficial effects on physical, mental, and emotional health.
-
The use of tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption have been linked to increased risks of chronic diseases and mortality.
With lifestyle medicine, which is uniquely tailored to you, we can attain harmony, more energy, improved sleep, pain alleviation, enhanced physical strength, and lasting happiness.
It's about empowering you to take control of your own health through sustainable lifestyle changes, leading to improved quality of life and longevity. Let us work together to create a personalized plan that fits your unique needs.
Holistic and Integrative Medicine
In my practice, I embrace a holistic and integrative approach to understanding, treating, and approaching health and diseases. Drawing from various traditional and complementary healing modalities such as Chinese Medicine, Anthroposophy, I believe in addressing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit to promote wellness. By incorporating ancient wisdom with modern medical knowledge, I strive to offer personalized and comprehensive care that honors the individual's unique needs and fosters healing on multiple levels. This approach allows me to tap into a diverse range of therapeutic tools and perspectives, empowering you to embark on a journey towards optimal health and vitality.
I also channelize information from your body, the energy in chakras, and in your whole system; and through deep tissue massages, fascial manouvres, osteopathy, chakra alignment, and other techniques, I help in your process of trauma healing.
Wellness Coaching
In my practice, I employ wellness and spiritual coaching techniques to address both physical and soul health, promoting healing from the inside out.
Through personalized guidance and support, I empower individuals to embark on a transformative journey towards healing and wholeness, nurturing their inner essence while promoting vitality and balance in every aspect of their lives.
