Hi, I’m Ana — Your Fitness & Health Coach 

Born and raised in Portugal, my lifelong curiosity about the world and people, combined with a deep passion for nature, the arts, and movement, has profoundly shaped who I am today.

I studied fine arts, music, and dance, but my true dedication has always been to sports and training.

I grew up running, cycling, enjoying the outdoors, swimming, and trying new sports every oportunity I had, and the gym has been my playground since my teens. These activities always helped me to stay grounded, reduce anxiety, and gain clarity. 

After years of battling eating disorders and hurting my health, I decided to take a chance on me and my well-being. It wasn’t easy and took a long time, with lots of highs and lows, and trials and errors, however this introspective journey led me to reflect on my purpose, my relationship with myself, and my desire to foster meaningful connections. 

My professional path began in journalism, cinema, TV, and event production - but I yearned to make a deeper impact. I wanted to guide others towards self-discovery, balance, and self-respect through movement and wellness. 

Inspired by my own transformation and driven by my passion for exercise, nutrition, and holistic health, I continued studying to bring comprehensive skills to my coaching practice.

Now, I offer personalized training, nutritional guidance, and behavioral support - creating a safe, motivating space for individuals and groups facing doubts, insecurities, and challenges around this sphere. 

My ongoing education includes Health and Exercise Science, Physiology, Biomechanics, Functional Training, Pre-Post Natal, CrossFit, Pilates, Yoga, Nutrition, and Health Coaching.

My goal is to help you find your own intuition, unlock your physical and emotional potential, fostering self-love, inner peace, and your unique balance - through finding what works best for you. 

My Approach: 

• Holistic Wellness: Combining training, nutrition, mental health, and sleep education for a well-rounded transformation.

• Personalized Training: Focused on daily movement, strength training, functional workouts, and mobility to maintain and/or increase muscle mass and bone health to help you age and live well; tailored for your body and life stage - including hormonal cycle adjustments, pregnancy, and menopause.

• Nutrition: Emphasizing plant-based, nutrient-dense foods, intuitive eating, and understanding your body's hunger and emotional cues. This is about optimizing your health, energy, and mood - not restrictive fad diets.

• Confidence & Mindset: Building self-esteem through visible progress and inner work. Confidence grows from both physical results and emotional resilience. You don’t need to be motivated every day, you just need to show up, consistently.

• Habit Formation & Accountability: Teaching sustainable behaviors and ways to attain them using helpful tools like habit trackers, challenges, and community groups.

• Mental Wellness: Incorporating mindfulness, stress management, and emotional support into your routine.
