Bio
Hi, my name is Sandrina Bencomo. I’m a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach (IIN) specializing in hormonal health. I have additional training in Recovery Coaching by The California Consortium of Addiction Programs and Professionals (CCAPP) and in Lifestyle Medicine and Food as Medicine by The American College of Lifestyle Medicine.
I have more than 8 years of experience and training in over 100 dietary theories along with evidence-based coaching techniques (MI, CBT, Transtheoretical Model, Positive Psychology), practical lifestyle management tools, contemporary health studies, hormonal health, behavioral health, coaching psychology, preventive health, supplementation and herbal remedies, mindfulness, female cycles, women’s health, men’s health, reproductive health, and mental health (depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, and substance-use-disorder).
I coach private and corporate clients to reach their health goals by creating balance through integrative nutrition and lifestyle habits. I also educate people on nutrition and wellness through speaking engagements, personalized workshops, and corporate events. Clients and sponsors have included the London Stock Exchange, L’Oréal, Lululemon, Maybelline, The Core Club, Warren Tricomi, and Daily Harvest.
My background working with leading companies worldwide for over 20 years as a fashion model with Elite Model NY, illustrated the need for nutrition and wellness balance in the world. I decided to unlock these benefits for people and companies to reap the advantages of health. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Dior, Armani, Valentino, Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, Tory Burch, and have been featured in top magazines and media worldwide.
My Story
I hope to meet you soon, but in the meanwhile, you can learn about me.
I've had the pleasure of traveling and living throughout the world as a fashion model, experiencing the industry in New York, Paris, Milan, Los Angeles, Munich, Miami, Barcelona, Venezuela, Cape Town, to name a few.
My base has been in NYC for over 20 years, a city that I love and feel fortunate to call my home. The y in OrganycLove is to honor it as the founding city of the company and the amazing city that shaped me into who I am today.
My passion for nutrition and wellness deepened when my symptoms of rosacea, eczema, chronic fatigue, stress, headaches, dizziness, fainting, allergies, and digestive issues seemed to only worsen over time. It felt like my whole body was on strike and desperately trying to tell me something that I couldn't yet understand. All of those symptoms were reactions to food intolerances, combined with a weakened immune system from years of not providing my body the proper nutrition that it required.
Battling rosacea and eczema was especially difficult: the sleepless nights because of the burning and constant itching all over my body. It often felt completely overwhelming!
Tired of feeling sick and low in self-esteem, I decided to take matters into my own hands, to claim responsibility for my health, and to firmly believe that I could heal myself. I spent countless hours every day educating myself on nutrition, wellness, organic skincare, and holistic approaches to all of my symptoms.
I was then happy to find training with the largest and most renowned nutrition school in the world, The Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I had found the perfect fit for me! This transformative experience taught so much and led me to my purpose as a Health Coach.
By applying everything that I learned and guiding myself step by step through the program that I can now provide for you, I healed all my chronic symptoms and actually feel better now than ever in my life before! It's incredibly empowering to say that I feel healthy, vital, and happy! It's not just being healthy, but being happy that matters.
I use nutrition and wellness in my lifestyle to manage the everyday stressors of life, to stay in shape, and to keep my hair and skin glowing along with my spirit. This lifestyle allows me to look and feel my best. No yo-yo diets, breakouts, dull hair, low energy, sleepless nights, but instead, a sustainable balance, and a joyful life. I know how to practice self-care to feel confident about my body inside and out, and it's my mission to help you find that balance too. My goal is for you to feel great in your own skin; to love your body and learn how to nourish it, so it can function at it's very best.
