About Renata

Hi, I'm Renata.

Functional health coach for women · Founder of Linvere

I help women understand their bodies and care for them through every season of life — with a special focus on perimenopause and menopause, when so much changes and so little is explained.

Online sessions in English, Português and Español.

My story

It started with pain no test could explain.

For a long time, I lived with pain — first in my lower back, then in almost every joint of my body. I went from doctor to doctor. Blood work, an MRI, neurological tests: everything came back “normal.” I tried physical therapy with five different therapists. Nothing changed.

Then a friend shared how changing the way she ate had changed how she felt. I decided to try. I transformed my nutrition, kept moving my body — and within a few months, the pain was gone. All of it.

That was my first encounter with functional health, and it changed the direction of my life. I wanted to understand why it had worked. I read everything I could, learned from functional medicine doctors and researchers, and built the habits I still live by today: real, unprocessed food, daily movement, deep sleep and a calmer relationship with stress.

“Food wasn't just fuel. It was information — and my body had been asking for something different all along.”

Then a new season arrived.

In my forties, perimenopause began to show up. New symptoms, a body that suddenly responded differently to the same habits — and very few clear answers. So I did what my own health had taught me to do: I listened. I paid closer attention to my hormones, my energy, my sleep and my cycle, and adjusted my care for this new phase.

Living it myself showed me how little most women are told about these changes — and how much better we can feel when we understand what's happening.

That's why I dedicated myself to studying women's health professionally: to help other women do what I learned to do — know their bodies, recognize each season, and take care of themselves through all of them.

What I believe

Nutrition is the foundation. Knowledge is the power.

  • Nutrition comes first. What you eat every day shapes your energy, your hormones, your sleep and your mood. It is the base everything else is built on.
  • Understanding changes everything. When you know what's happening in your body — and why — you stop fighting it and start working with it.
  • Every season deserves care. Your needs at 30 are not your needs at 45 or 55. Your care should change as you do.
  • Small rituals, kept for life. No extremes. Simple, sustainable habits that fit the way you actually live.
My training

Grounded in science and lived experience.

  • Professional training in health & wellness coaching — the science of lasting behavior change
  • Professional training in holistic nutrition
  • University coursework in biology and human physiology
  • Years of continuous study in functional medicine and women's hormonal health

I'm a coach, not a doctor: I don't diagnose or treat medical conditions. I'm happy to work alongside your physician, so you have both the medical care and the day-to-day support you need.

Who I work with

Women in every season — especially perimenopause and menopause.

If your sleep, your energy, your weight, your mood or your cycle have changed and you're tired of hearing that it's “just your age,” you're in the right place. Together we look at the whole picture and build a plan that fits your body and your life.

All sessions are online, so we can work together wherever you are — in English, Portuguese or Spanish.

Beyond work

Where I recharge.

I've been happily married for 26 years to a wonderful partner who supports everything I do.

My favorite place is outdoors: up a mountain, in a quiet park listening to the birds, or at the beach with the sound and smell of the sea. Nature is where I recharge — and it reminds me every day that everything moves in seasons, including us.
