My Empowered Heart

Empowering you on your wellness journey

Food is medicine, and knowledge is power. You will find both on my page, and I hope this inspires and empowers you.

Hi, I'm Gabriela!

I am a recipe creator and food blogger, have been a registered nurse for two decades, and will soon be an integrative and functional dietitian nutritionist. My goal is to continue to create the healthy recipes I craved when I became ill, and help others find hope and wellness through food as I have. Check out my latest recipes and blog posts!

Fajita Salad with Gut-healthy Creamy Cilantro Dressing

I am a patient, a nurse, and a soon-to-be integrative and functional dietitian.

I love creating easy, nourishing, and flavorful gluten and dairy-free recipes. I hope they remind you of your old favorites. I am passionate about wellness and healing because I have lived it, and am still on a healing journey. I look forward to sharing it all with you.

My Healing Journey
