About Me
Hey! My name is Fernanda but you can call me Feny. I was born in 1996 in a small town in Mexico but life brought me to Miami, Florida and I don’t think I'm ever leaving. To let you in on my life, I have three older brothers and I'm the only girl in my family. Of course I'm my parents' favorite. Also, my first career was dietetics and I specialized in the psychology of eating. Basically what this means is I did consults to help lose weight, have a good relationship with your body and to make peace with food, but to make this journey even more complete fashion styling was the next jump I took. I kept saying to my patients to follow their heart and this is where my heart took me; channeling my inner Dani Michelle who was battling to get out all this time.
In this blog you are going to find a little about all the aspects of my life like healing your relationship with yourself, wardrobe essentials and my latest shoots.
Thank you for joining me in this journey to self discovery and empowerment and I hope it helps you too.
