About Rebecca Mora and Gut Gal:

Gut Gal was developed over a lifetime of education and hands-on experience. Truly, it all started in Rosarito, MX while she was working as an Alcohol & Drug Detox Counselor, manager and fitness trainer.  This position enabled her to embrace the ever changing situations that arose regarding nutrition, fitness, detox, holistic modalities, Stem cell therapy and ancient medicine.  Following that experience, she opened a retreat for patients with cancer. Her retreat provided healing modalities, nutrition, cooking classes and counseling.  After my high risk pregnancy and the birth of her beautiful daughter Camila, she developed Thyroid cancer.  Rebecca was offered a Health Coach position with Health Secrets following my personalized Cancer detox recovery protocol.  As a Health Coach, she realized her passion to further her education by becoming a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP).  Rebecca had a deep desire to share her natural gifts in therapeutic counseling and absolutely loved what she did.  While studying as a HHP, she created the name Gut Gal because all signs, symptoms and disease start in the gut.
