A fascinating journey that begins from within and expands outward.

I am María Gabriela Colmenares, founder of BALI Saludable, a wellness concept born from the integration of conscious nutrition, self-awareness, and the pleasure of nourishing yourself well.

I was born in Venezuela and emigrated in 2018. Since 2021, I have been living in Lexington, Kentucky, alongside my family, who are a fundamental part of my life purpose.

​

For over five years, I have dedicated myself to the study of nutrition, healthy habits, and holistic well-being, while also walking a deep path of personal self-discovery, which today shapes everything I share through BALI Saludable.

​

I began my Nutrition studies in Querétaro, Mexico, where I learned that nourishment goes far beyond calories—it is an experience that involves the body, the mind, and our emotions. In 2023, I earned my certifications in Nutrition and Health and Health and Wellness. In 2025, I completed my certification as a Health Coach in Emotional Nutrition, as well as becoming a certified instructor XcoLatIn by Jackie, integrating conscious movement as an essential pillar of well-being.

​

In 2017, I created my healthy options company, a project that has allowed me to travel to different countries sharing a single purpose: to cultivate a culture of healthy living that is real, simple, and sustainable over time.

​

Today, I proudly celebrate that BALI Saludable is established in Lexington, while staying true to its essence:

✨ offering real, fresh food,
✨ optimizing your time,
✨ reconnecting you with the pleasure of nourishing yourself,
✨ and supporting you in building long-lasting health.

​

BALI Saludable is more than nutrition—it is an invitation to live in balance between mind, body, and spirit, honoring your process, enjoying the journey, and creating well-being through awareness and self-love.

It is a true pleasure to share my passion and plant this seed of wellness through BALI Saludable.
