Paola Atlason is a Wholistic Nourishment Teacher based in New York City.  She offers health assessments, meal planning, dietary guidance, energy healing, behavioral resetting, and self-care protocols to help her clients live happier, healthier, and freer lives. Her students call her a “Nutritionist, Spiritual Teacher and Counselor” all in one.

Paola has been a certified wellness practitioner since 2017, but her interest in mindful living and spirituality dates back over 20 years. After moving to New York City from the Dominican Republic to study Design, Paola struggled with her mental and physical health, most visibly with her skin (cystic acne, eczema) and weight (bloating, inflammation, constant fluctuation). She tried a range of temporary solutions, from pills to diets to skipping meals, and over exercising with few long term results - apart from feeling fearful, resentful, powerless and exhausted.

This drove Paola into a journey of self-healing, her curiosity leading her to study the body at a physical, energetic and emotional level, where she learned and was mentored by renown integrative physicians, spiritual teachers, and healers like Taryn Toomey, Elena Brower, Paramatma Siri Sadhana, Carissa Schumacher, Liza Fenster, Nikki Vilella, Schuyler Grant, Dr Lauren Haythe, Dr Mark Hyman, Dr Alejandro Junger, and Dr Perry Nickelston. She did this while applying these new found methods on herself and her growing list of students.

In 2016, Paola left her work as a fashion designer and devoted herself to her Holistic Health practice, with a simple approach: to become adaptable to any situation life brings. With this new mindset, Paola became a Certified Holistic Health and Nutrition Coach with the Institute For Integrative Nutrition, a member of the Association Of  Drugless Practitioners, a Reiki healer, and Yoga teacher.

Over the past years Paola has supported thousands of women across the world in aligning their bodies, minds and spirits. Her food-as-medicine approach, along with her commitment to healing food and body-image guilt and shame through meditation and energy healing modalities, have helped her students look and feel youthful, achieve mental clarity, release weight and inflammation, resolve autoimmune and hormonal imbalances, improve mood and sleep, and feel lighter about life in general. Most importantly, Paola helps you develop trust in yourself again - with ease, beauty and joy.

In addition to leading her private practice, Paola is host of The Live Journal Podcast, where she’s in conversation with women making positive impact in their communities, sharing the self-care rituals that inspire and keep them grounded.

“Paola has quite simply changed my life. I began working with her close to a year ago, and through her teachings have transformed my relationship to food and self. Her guidance, knowledge and care are felt in all she does, and her simple, yet effective approach to wellbeing is accessible and impactful. I consider her a friend, a guide and a confidante. The ultimate trifecta on my lifelong healthy journey. Thank you, Paola”
