​Hello! I'm Ana Paula, a certified personal trainer and health coach. I specialize in teaching simple but effective solutions for exercise and healthy eating so that my clients can feel great about themselves.

I know firsthand the impact of an overworked and stressed lifestyle—I used to suffer from fibromyalgia, polycystic ovarian syndrome, migraines, depression, and arthritis. I was often tired and low on energy. What I discovered through my healing journey was that positive changes happen when I take care of not just my physical body, but also my mind and emotions.

​

I believe in "walking my talk," and my lifestyle is a testament to that. My passion for holistic health shines through in my everyday life, and my clients often find it easy to connect with me, being recognized as a trusted and confident role model.

​

I got my Bachelor of Science in Physical Education back in Brazil in 1997, and I became an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach in 2009 in US. Drawing from my extensive background in physical fitness, I bring a unique advantage to my health coaching. I understand that nutrition is more than just about food, so I use a variety of coaching approaches to help my clients achieve lasting results. I also make sure my clients learn to trust their own bodies, so they leave my sessions with the confidence to maintain balance in all areas of their lives.

​

Originally from Sao Paulo, Brazil, I moved to the US in 2007 and now live in Issaquah, WA. I often visit clients at their homes or private gym facilities and also meet them in my home office or through online sessions. Additionally, I'm fluent in both English and Portuguese.
