Hi, I'm Bela.

I was a competitive swimmer for years before I became a nutritionist. The love of sport came first; the science came after.

I grew up in sport and fell for swimming, competing for many years. When I moved into nutrition, it was out of love for the subject: reading labels, understanding food, caring about how it makes you feel and perform. The turning point came when I travelled, on my own, to support my athletes in Sweden, living high-performance sport and nutrition together, every day.

That's why I work the way I do. Calculating calories is the easy part; the real skill is listening, putting the food you like and can sustain into a plan that's properly your own. No food is forbidden, and you won't be made to feel guilty. I want you to learn to make better choices, instead of following something for 30 days and then abandoning it.

I work fully online, in Portuguese or English, with clients across Brazil, Europe and the US, and I've consulted in English for clients further afield. Wherever you train, distance is never the barrier; your goals are what matter.
