Gorete Almeida - Fab Over 40!

Hi! I’m Gorete, Culinary Nutritionist, Certified Holistic Lifestyle Coach, Dance Teacher, Fitness Instructor, and Mom. My love for health and wellness started when I began competitive figure skating and realized I needed an edge and that edge was fitness training and nutrition. That lead to me studying Kinesiology and then completing a Masters of Science in Ergonomics.

I have over 25 years of experience in the health and wellness industry and a passion to help others live healthier, abundant lives. Although I am best known for my salsa, Latin and dance choreography my background also includes competitive cheerleading, ice dancing and hip hop. I am a former dancer and director of operations for Culture Shock Canada, dancer for the Cardio Hip Hop TV show, award winning salsa dancer, international fitness presenter and Lululemon Ambassador. Some of my specialities includes kids dance classes, optimal training/nutrition for dancers and women's health.

I'm especially passionate about helping women feel radiant and fabulous after 40! Why? Because its been one of the best decades of my life! But not without its challenges. Challenges I'd rather not see you go through. What I have learned is that you must own your health. My job is to help you through that journey and to make sense of the overwhelming amount of information. The right food, the best exercises, hormonal health, supplements, and ultimately find the best balance, for YOU. Let's tackle issues that are holding you back, like fatigue, anxiety, weight gain and get you to the healthy, vibrant life YOU deserve.

Everyone’s journey is very personal and unique, but feeling alive is the common thread. As a nutritionist and health coach, that's where I can help. Stop stressing, healthy doesn't need to be so complicated. The last thing you want is to raise your stress hormones with something that should be a wonderful experience, like fuelling your body. Seriously we need to lighten up on these unrealistic expectations. Let's LIVE more and stress less. That sounds pretty sexy to me :)

My food philosophy:
  • Balance is beautiful. You've got to live!
  • Organic is worth it. Processed is toxic.
  • Get the best food you can afford.
  • More raw foods. Yeah you heard me, less cooking!
  • No matter how small the change, it’s progress.
  • Health is a journey, "savor" every moment.

  • Contact me to book your consultation today to get empowered, reclaim your energy and feel fabulous inside and out!
