We were lucky to catch up with Luisana Ferrer recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Luisana, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear the backstory of how you established your own practice.
As with every start of something, there will always be moments of fear. After I graduated as a Nutritionist and Dietitian, I started working online and then I worked at my patients homes. I did not have my own office yet so I had to drive to my patients houses. After that, I received an opportunity to start working at a spa. Of course, I took it. Months later, I decided I was ready to rent my own office where I work today. Best advice of course would be: TRUST IN YOU and BE PATIENT. There is not an easy start, but you will get where you want to go.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I am a Nutritionist and Dietitian from Venezuela. I work in my city, Maracaibo (Venezuela) but also online so I have patients all around the world. My main goal is teaching people in how to eat healthy without obsessions or restrictions like society is pushing us. That is also the best way to prevent Eating Disorders, from which I suffered years ago. What I am more proud of is in how I have helped people feel better, inside and out.
Do you think you’d choose a different profession or specialty if you were starting now?
If I could go back, I would still choose to be a Nutritionist. Even when I did not always wanted to be one. I actually wanted to be an actress or a lawyer. But being a Nutritionist is not only a passion for me, is my calling and what I think God wanted me to be.
Can you open up about how you managed the initial funding?
First thing that funded my business was investing in education. As a health professional your main investment is in education because that is what helps you grow and be a better professional. My degrees are what actually funden my business.
