Workshop Facilitator
Brazilian journalist Fernanda Capobianco was responsible for bringing Bistrô and Patisserie Payard to Brazil in 2006. Vegan since she was a child, she developed unique recipes for delicious plant-based mousses and sweets without eggs or sugar. Fernanda has permanently opted for healthy, fresh, natural and organic ingredients. And she expanded her wisdom and expertise by creating vegan sandwiches and dishes.
She became a Naturopath after meeting Doctor Efrain Melara in Brazil at the age of 22.
“It was life – changing for my health and my life. I became a Naturopath Researcher after that” said Nanda.
When she moved to New York in 2009, Nanda became a Board member of the New York Coalition of Healthy School Foods, a non – profit government institution that provides healthy food to New York public school children and students.
In 2014, Nanda founded Vegan Divas; pioneering the vegan desserts industry by creating a vegan, cholesterol – free, organic and kosher bakery and patisserie. She had a goal from the beginning: “My dream was to create healthy gourmet pastries with the quality and presentation similar to those offered by the best bakeries,” she said.
Ms. Fernanda Capobianco
Vegan Divas became the number-one dessert company in New York. Nanda provided products for the Clinton family and the Clinton Foundation. Made the cakes for Anne Hathaway in the movie “The Intern”. And some of her celebrity clients were Madonna, Susan Sarandon, and the Rolling Stones, among others. Vegan Divas products were sold in the best American supermarket chains such as Whole Foods Market and also in the brand’s e-commerce.
Nanda is the author of The Vegan Divas Cookbook released and published through Harpers Collins. She worked with Relais Dessert - an international association that brings together the 100 best pastry chefs in the world - and travelled with the group to several countries. She was responsible for organizing philanthropic events in the United States and participated in Food and Wine festivals around the world. Fernanda has publications in the New York Times, New York Post, Vogue and numerous international magazines, newspapers and tv shows.
Nanda graduated from Landmark Worldwide, a high - performance coach Institution. from the IIN; Institute of Integrated Nutrition in New York. Nanda brought together all her professional, academic and personal experience to launch her most innovative project, a nutritional consultant method that integrates food, exercise, spirituality and relationships: The HoliU Method.
“HoliU combines all my knowledge throughout my life: studies and practice of naturopathy, macrobiotics, Kabbalah, meditation, plant-based food, entrepreneurship, philanthropic projects, academic training at the IIN, Landmark coaching combined with my vocation that has always been to care for of people”
Nanda launched Cozinha Vegana with Fernanda Capobianco tv show through the Brazilian WooHoo tv channel to help people cook healthy and easy plant-based meals on a budget. It has been a success.
As a philanthropist, she founded the ONG “Projeto Mulheres de Luz”, to give sexual education and provide health services to the young woman in the slums. "Our goal is to lower the birth rates in teenagers and inspire them to follow their dreams,” said Capobianco.
