Alma - Founder & COach
“I’m Alma, my life's journey has shaped me into a coach who draws inspiration from my own personal battles with eating disorders, severe depression, and body dysmorphic disorder. Through my own experiences, I discovered a deep desire to help other women who have faced similar struggles. My mission is to guide them towards a holistic approach to health and fitness, enabling them to experience true acceptance, freedom, and happiness in their minds, bodies, and lives.
Recognizing the limitations of working as a lone coach in traditional commercial gyms, I took a leap of faith in 2020 and founded AW Wellness Studios. This empowered me to build a team of remarkable women who share my passion for a holistic approach to women's health. Together, we are dedicated to transforming lives from the inside out, empowering women to create lasting change.
I am incredibly proud of the growth we have achieved in the three years since AW Wellness Studios was born. Our studio now has a team of 7 amazing women who bring their unique expertise and passion to the studio. My role has evolved over time, and today I spend most of my time coaching and mentoring my team. I still reserve one day a week to see clients face-to-face for their movement sessions at the studio and I also offer complimentary calls to all of the clients at the studio for further support alongside their sessions.
Being part of AW Wellness Studios allows me to inspire and uplift women on a larger scale than I ever could alone. Through my direct coaching and the collective impact of our passionate team, we empower women to embrace a holistic approach to their well-being and transform their lives in meaningful ways. I am so grateful to my team and to every woman who has stepped foot in the studio. If you're new and reading this, I hope to meet you soon.”
And I said to my body, softly, "I want to be your friend.
It took a long breath and replied, "I've been waiting my whole life for this."
