Hi, I am Dr. Viorica Ivan, a qualified Holistic Nutrition & Lifestyle Coach. 

The holistic health and nutrition project is an important part of my personal journey to regain health. It all began with the research I was doing to understand my own complex medical history. Soon, I was able to uncover and connect nutrition science information to my own health and life. The learning has been growing through the Holistic Health and Nutrition Coach course at The MindBodyFood Institute and it perfectly complemented my foundational biochemistry and PhD education in cell biology. 

I’m now taking all my experience and knowledge to my own coaching practice at SmartScience Nutrition & Lifestyle, where I can educate and help other women take better care of themselves. I aim to empower busy women who are chronically stressed and feel overwhelmed by their daily tasks and activities to make healthy nutrition and lifestyle adjustments, so that they can improve energy, focus, mood, digestion, and fitness, while reducing stress and fatigue.

If you find inspiration from my story or blog articles and want to improve your health, please reach out to me. I am here to help you.

Love,

Viorica

Testimonials

“Viorica is a professional coach that makes a quick connection, knows how to detect problems, knows how to ask the right questions and above all has a lot of knowledge about health and nutrition. By working with her, I gained awareness about my lifestyle and eating habits; I learned more about the gut – very interesting material and Viorica seems to be an expert on this topic! I have gotten many ideas about how to change my eating habits; I made the link between feelings and eating.
She has convinced me on how important nutrition is for our health, which has been a big motivation for me. If I ever need more help on health/nutrition, I would definitely reach out to Viorica”

“Viorica a fost foarte organizata si atenta la nevoile mele. Exercitiile propuse si discutiile purtate au fost foarte bine alese pentru nevoile mele, am simtit o ghidare blanda si ferma, cu atentie pentru pasi concreti in activitatea mea. Intrebarile au fost de impact si au generat mai multe momente de insight. Lucrand cu Viorica, am stabilit un program de activitate, am devenit mai activa si am revalorizat rolul activitatii fizice pentru sanatatea mea. Inca mai am in minte insight-uri si franturi din discutii care ma motiveaza si mobilizeaza pentru planul meu.
Raman curioasa in privinta programelor pe care urmeaza sa le dezvolte si imi doresc sa particip din cand in cand la sesiuni de lucru, in grup sau singura pentru a mentine aceasta concentrare pe ingrijirea corpului meu pentru sanatate.”

“I have had two sessions with Viorica, both have been very beneficial to me. Her communication was particularly good, she sent me very detailed follow up emails which I found helpful. Viorica made me feel very comfortable from the beginning, I felt safe to share certain things with her knowing she was listening. I felt listened to and cared for throughout. This may or may not be helpful but I didn’t feel affected by the language barrier in any way. Viorica’s English is fantastic which is obviously a real credit to her and will allow her to reach many English speaking clients as well as her Romanian clients.”
