Today we’d like to introduce you to Isabela Fortes.
Isabela, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I decided very early in life to travel the world in search of enlightenment. After wandering from the heights of the Himalayas to the heart of the Amazon Forest, living in an Ashram in India, and among the natives of the forest, I discovered that soul searching does not go very far without physical health.
After quite a few health setbacks: I had thyroid cancer at age 27 that escalated into a lifetime of gi issues and energy problems. I traveled the world trying to find answers, and after exhausting Western medicine and a bunch of other woo woo sciences and not finding the answers I was looking for, I decided to be my own advocate and began studying how the body works.
I am a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher, meditation teacher and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. In summary, I dive deep with people to figure out the root cause of their symptoms and use a combination of nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, and spirituality to restore health and well-being. I am a mother of two jugglings to maintain sanity, happiness, and a balanced life in this crazy world we live in. I feel an urge to share my findings and believe we all have the duty to make this world a better place.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Since a very young age, I had a sensitive gut, but out of the blue got a cancer diagnosis. Post pregnancies had a few flares on my conditions, but now I am on the other side! Move around the globe, so feel that I am a universal citizen, which means I am an eternal immigrant trying to find my place in the world.
We’d love to hear more about the business.
I found the yogini wellness to help women feel that they are being heard and that there is hope. We should not expect that getting old should suck. So, I help hypothyroid women ditch their anxiety and fatigue to regain their energy so they can feel and look awesome from the inside out. I, as a combination of lifestyle changes, supplements, nutrition, and spirituality, so that we can figure out the root cause of their issues and support women to feel better in their bodies and souls.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
Luck is the energy that you manifest and attract. The more you tap into your inner power and learn to pay attention to the signs from the universal field, the more luck you will draw to you.
