Iuliana Cotocel, Abu Dhabi

hi,

I am Iuliana

I am a functional nutrition consultant and women’s wellness expert based in Abu Dhabi, working with women all over the world. My field is hormonal nutrition: correcting the imbalances that sit behind gut issues, PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, fertility struggles and the long list of complaints women are usually told to live with.

My own work started after two miscarriages. A lost pregnancy is not a number in a statistic, it is a story with two questions in it. Why, and what caused it. Those questions sent me deep into nutrition, and that was more than ten years ago.

Your body’s ability to heal is far greater than anyone has led you to believe.

Aviva Romm

Your body is constantly giving you clues about what it needs. My job is to help you hear them, and to turn that into food you actually eat.

What clients say

Working with Iuliana has been great. I have learnt so much about my body and about eating the foods that support my hormones through my cycle. She makes the information easy to understand, she is truly caring, and she has the best energy.
