After High School in Germany I went on to study hotel and hospitality management in the UK. I chose this career, because I had always been fascinated with food, its preparation and influences of different cultures. I went on to work in the food and beverage departments of several hotels first in Austria, then Singapore, Germany, Greece and Mexico. I learned how food is not only nutrition, but also comes with many emotions, good and bad. I also learned that at least in the developed countries, we have such abundance of food and choice, that it has led us to many nutrition related problems.

After 10 years working with food in hotels I decided to go back to Germany to study nutrition and become a licensed nutritionist. At first I started off working with mainly diabetic and obese patients, but further down the line I also became more and more interested in complex diagnosis such as gastrointestinal health which influences the immune system, general well-being and plays a large role in the development of many diseases. 

My qualifications:

Diploma :Nutrition Certification in Germany (Impulse E.V.)

Master of Nutrition Coaching (Esneca Business School, Spain)

Master of Dietetics and Nutrition (Esneca Business School, Spain)

Certificate: Low FODMAP Diet for IBS for health professionals - Monash University, Australia.

Diploma in Microbiome, Prebiotics and Probiotics (Academia Uni, SEP, Mexico)

I am now back in BCS Mexico, the place I love most in the world and want to continue using my knowledge to help people with nutrition related problems. Healthy nutrition can do so much for us, we should take advantage of this!

As such I also support Amigos de Los Ninos by helping to educate kids and families about the right nutrition. https://adlncabo.org/

The first thing people always say to me when I tell them that I am from Germany is....oh you Germans are all so fit and slim....although that is not necessarily true (just check out some statistics) some basics from the German nutrition such as a great variety of whole grain breads (so more dietary fibre), consumption of fermented foods (such as Sauerkraut, yogurt, buttermilk etc.) higher intake of veggies, such as varieties of cabbages, radishes etc. help. We also tend to move more in our day to day routines. 

Regardless of the above, through experience and research I have found that there is no single nutritional concept that can simply be applied to everyone. We are all individuals and it is important to find the right way for each one of my patients in order to reach their goals or help with illnesses.
