Hi, I’m Susana, the founder of Functional Healthier Me. My lifelong curiosity led me from a Master’s in Mathematics and Actuarial Sciences and work as a Global Benefits Manager across Europe to my true passion: health, diet, and exercise.

I became a certified fitness, aerobics, and gymnastics teacher in Barcelona and later moved to New York, working in the medical system as a Certified Medical Biller.

Believing that health is shaped by lifestyle—food, mindset, movement, and community—I’ve stayed vibrant and healthy, but personal experiences, including losing my sister to depression, inspired me to question conventional medicine.

I collaborated with leading doctors and learned to see illness as a signal from the body, asking how we can support the person so their body can thrive naturally.

During COVID, I helped an elderly neighbor regain vitality through nourishing meals, which deepened my understanding that true health supports the body’s ability to heal.

This led me to become a Certified Functional Nutrition Counselor, and over the past three years I’ve guided nearly 60 individuals toward better health by addressing root causes and strengthening the foundation of well-being.

My purpose is to empower people to take control of their health and thrive.
