IT'S ME, ESTELA!

I’m a former military officer + nurse practitioner turned functional medicine health coach for women who are tired of feeling exhausted, bloated, stressed, and stuck in a body that doesn’t feel like their own. I help women finally understand what’s going on in their bodies so they can restore their energy, support their gut health, and release stubborn weight in a sustainable, empowering way.

I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Southern California and am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner. My healthcare career began as a Navy Corpsman and evolved into roles as a critical care nurse and then a nurse practitioner. I’ve served in combat and humanitarian deployments, worked in critical care transport, and cared for patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

My years as a military officer taught me to lead with clarity, compassion, and grit. Combined with my clinical background and functional medicine training, this gives me a unique ability to support women who are juggling careers, families, leadership roles, and the invisible weight of chronic stress, bloating, and weight gain. I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, depleted, and unsure where to start, and I know how to help you rise above it with a personalized, root-cause approach to wellness.

Over time, I felt called to shift from symptom management to root-cause resolution, which led me to earning my functional medicine certification through the Kalish Institute of Functional Medicine. I also hold certifications in NASM personal training and hot yoga/barre. I've taught yoga classes in the U.S., Japan, Australia, and Africa, and I’ve spent years helping people feel strong, energized, and connected to their bodies. 

Today, I serve as a strategic health coach for women who are ready to prioritize themselves. I LOVE helping women uncover the root cause of their nagging symptoms and concerns. I’m all about sustainable changes that create massive results. Whether you’re navigating your career, motherhood, or leadership roles, I’ll help you build the mindset, habits, and strategy to restore your energy, support your gut, and feel confident and powerful in your body again.

A 5‑PILLAR APPROACH TO LASTING ENERGY AND SUSTAINABLE WEIGHT LOSS

My coaching approach blends five core pillars: mindset, nutrition, movement, nervous system regulation, and root-cause analysis to help women break free from low energy, bloating, and stubborn weight. Together, we build a personalized plan that fits your life and delivers lasting results.

I bring consistency, strategy, and accountability so you stay on track. But this only works if you show up for yourself too. If you're ready to do the work, I’ll guide you every step of the way. Click below to take the first step!
