Meet Nathalia Carvalho: Wellness Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Nathalia Carvalho and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nathalia, alright, let’s jump in with a deep one – what’s you’re definition for success?
Success to me is waking up excited and looking forward to the day ahead. You get to determine how the day will play out…. You no longer trade your time for money. You can earn a living by working with whatever sets your soul on fire. You follow your passion, your heart. The money will come. Being able to choose what to do with your time is a way to define success in my opinion.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My work is all about helping women stop the self sabotaging cycle in all areas of life and finally step into the highest version of themselves, to be the badass they were meant to be! I am so proud of the ripple effect of this work. When women start prioritizing themselves and loving themselves, the whole world benefits. Little girls are growing up watching their moms working out and having a healthy relationship with food. That is so powerful ! I’m teaching women to fill up their cups before pouring onto others. What sets me apart and what got me to where I am today is that I walk my walk. I am mentoring these women and I am on the journey with them…every step of the way. I’m a few steps ahead, which allows me to guide them. But being the journey together also inspires me every single day and I think that makes the whole experience really special. I have learned that I can always learn more! So important to be open to constructive criticism, to invest in learning more, to be coachable . I want the world to know that when you work with you, you will feel love in a whole different way. Towards yourself !!! All the love that you look for externally is available to you at all times. When you learn how to tap into that love, life becomes fun. You get to play and enjoy living. Food is no longer good or bad. It’s just food, it’s fuel for your body. You move your body in a way that feels good to you. Come experience life through the lenses of self-love.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
So excited to have my friend here for a whole week !!!!! South Florida has the best of everything and she could easily spend a month and still have things to do but let’s try and make it the best one yet! 1 – Wynwood – we can start early here so she can check out the walls and galleries, maybe get something from the cute stores. This can go on until late night though, Wynwood becomes a hot spot at night so we can pick a good restaurant and finish at a bar. 2 – Miami Beach – do the touristy thing….walk by the beach, look at the architecture. Get dinner at Big Pink! 3 – Go to the Beach at Hollywood Beach one day. Rent bikes and get ice cream =) 4 – one full day at Sawgrass Mills. Best outlets ! might need 2 days ! 5 – Bayside Marketplace is also a fun place to go ! some fun boat trips are available! 6 – So much more to see here ! Sports – definitely go to a game if there is one when you visit – Football, basketball, baseball !

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Andrea Montoya. Andrea is a huge part of my success ! She’s been a friend since I started exploring health coaching, we got certified together 3 years ago. Since then, we have done a couple of projects together and at one point, she was my life coach. She transformed my life in more ways than one and I am forever grateful for everything I have learned from her and shared with her. We just recently became business partners and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us.
