About Me
Hello!
I’m so happy you
stopped by.
My name is Talya,
and I’m a holistic
health counselor.
I live in south west Portugal in the countryside, with my Irish husband and our daughter. We also have three dogs, two Persian cats and loads of chickens (I absolutely love eating their eggs).
Since 2007 I have been working with women like you, to take baby steps to live in a healthier way, learn how to easily eat foods that are closer to nature, feel so much better about yourself, feel happier, empowered, inspired, and LOSE That extra WEIGHT FOR GOOD!
In the last years I have added a Magic crucial ingredient to the cooking pot.
I would say that this is the most important ingredient of all - Emotions.
Or actually FEELING OUR EMOTIONS.
We were never taught how to do this, nor were our parents nor out grandparents.
“Stop Dieting - Start Feeling” isthe motto!
Feeling those wonderful emotions (love, joy, happiness, gratitude)
and feeling the ones we don’t like (anger, jealousy, sadness, fear) is the key.

I STARTED DIETING WHEN I WAS 14 AND HAD EATING DISORDERS FOR ABOUT 20+ YEARS.
I wish I had been taught how to feel my emotions around those issues, as it was a long and painful path back to balance.
In my late 30’s, I started studying
Holistic Nutrition and
I managed to eventually HEAL MYSELF NATURALLY, BOTH FROM ANOREXIA AND FROM BULIMIA.
I started living MY life and being more aligned to my true desires and beliefs.
I was a shy child when I was outside of our family home,
but was a very feisty and self-confidant one when at home.
I was a good girl and well-behaved, but I did have tantrums behind closed doors.
Today, I tell my clients to learn from small children who are having a tantrum, how to transform their emotions. Usually, a toddler will go from Rage to Happiness in a matter of minutes, if we allow them to go through the tantrum, but unfortunately, we usually don’t support that.
Dieting is not the solution. It is a business. The solution is a combination of healthy eating, feeling our
emotions & gradually making changes in our life.
EVERY ADDICTION IS AN EMOTION WE DON’T WANT TO FEEL.
I am super excited and inspired to help YOU on your path of LEARNING, GROWING,
FEELING and HEALING.
So you can LOVE YOURSELF, YOUR BODY and YOUR LIFE.

We have never been taught about our emotions or how to feel them.
We have been taught not to feel them, to suppress them and to put on
“a façade” - a happy face,
to “just move on”.
In my work I combine emotional processing with health counseling.
That is a unique recipe that is life transforming and that
I am really passionate about.
Learning how to feel our emotions, to be with our emotional injuries, to stay in those uncomfortable emotional places (without turning to an addiction or finding a way to distract ourselves) is the key to sustained results and to ongoing growth.
If you have been struggling for years with your weight, with emotional eating, with food addictions, with the feeling that
you ARE A FALURE and
AREN’T LIVING YOUR LIFE – YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
