Merecedes Mafnas
Mercedes Mafnas is the Administrative Manager for The Art of Balanced Health. She earned her degree in Early Childhood Education in Venice, Italy. For the last 15 years, she has accompanied her husband around the world while he served his country as a member of the US Air Force. They have recently settled in Riverview, FL with their two children and Mercedes’ mother.
Mercedes has a strong foundation and belief in natural medicine and a desire to help support people on their journey toward health. She says, “I believe in the personal and individual attention that clients receive at The Art of Balanced Health.” She is also very enthusiastic about the house consultations that Dr. Camp offers, which provides an environment for a true partnership to develop. Because Mercedes believes in partnership, she is dedicated to helping others. ”Whatever it takes,” she says, “I will answer questions, find resources and figure out solutions in a positive, caring and understanding way.” With a smile, she adds, “And feel free to call and speak in Italian, German, English or Spanish.”
Mercedes has a passion for cooking, especially Italian cuisine. The foundation of her cooking philosophy is based on making healthy meals using seasonal ingredients and whole foods. She believes that health starts from the inside and that a positive attitude along with simple living can go a long way to keeping a person healthy. When people ask her how old she is, she often says with a twinkle in her eye, “I am as young or old as I feel. It is all in the attitude.”
Dr. Camp and Mercedes met 20 years ago in Germany. Over the years they have remained close by basing their friendship on honesty and integrity. The two are very pleased to be able to work together again after so many years. Both agree that it is “truly gratifying to be involved in a profession that can make a positive difference in someone’s life”.
