About PALA Wellness
PALA Wellness was born out of a need for a more integrated approach to mental health and healing.
While we wholeheartedly support traditional therapy – and genuinely believe everyone would benefit from it – we also recognize that something essential is often missing: how the body and mind influence each other.
PALA exists to bridge that gap.
We explore how lifestyle and nutrition shape mental health, primarily through the lens of the “second brain” – the gut – and its profound influence on mood, cognition, stress, and whole-body wellbeing.
Our programs combine nutritional education tailored to mind-body conditions with practical psychology, turning theory into guided exercises that build self-awareness, emotional literacy, and a stronger sense of personal agency.
Because everything works together, we also provide support on the broader pillars of wellness: sleep, mindfulness, movement, connection, and purpose – foundations we consider essential for a healthier, fuller, and more meaningful life.
The goal is simple: to help you understand yourself better, and through applied practice, develop habits that support a greater sense of control over your health.
Meet the Founder
Antoinette is the founder of PALA Wellness, a celebrity wellness consultant and educator specializing in the intersection of psychology, nutrition, and lifestyle.
Her curiosity about the mind–body connection began through her own experience with anxiety, depression, and gut issues. What started as a personal search for relief became a sustained interest in how emotional and physical wellbeing influence one another. Over time, this exploration shaped her approach and inspired the creation of PALA Wellness.
Having lived in London, New York, and Miami, Antoinette understands firsthand how environment, pace, and lifestyle pressures shape both physical and mental health – a perspective woven into the foundations of PALA Wellness.
She holds a Bachelor of Liberal Arts in Psychology from Harvard University Extension School and completed her Integrative Nutrition Health Coach training at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where she also pursued specialized studies in Gut Health and Hormone Health.
