About Sandra

Meet Sandra - Your Cheerleader and Coach

Hello again, Thank you for showing interest in how I can help you, here is a little about me ..... My life and business philosophy revolves around living a happy, healthy, and holistic life. I believe true well-being comes from balancing the body, mind, and spirit, and I’m here to help you discover that harmony in your own life.

My passion for health and empowerment is deeply personal. Over the years, I’ve experienced my own challenges with illness, stress, pain, and burnout—and I’ve come out stronger because of them. These experiences have shaped my approach to helping women over 40 find their strength, reclaim their vitality, and create lives they truly love.

My Journey to Empowerment

My journey toward a holistic and empowered lifestyle has been one of self-discovery and growth. From a young age, I’ve been committed to exploring ways to better myself, heal, and evolve. This passion naturally led me to coaching, where I found immense joy in sharing transformative tools with others.

Pilates, Yoga, and Qigong have been pivotal in my healing—both physically and emotionally. These practices are gentle yet powerful, helping me reconnect with my body and nurture my well-being. They’ve transformed my life, and I know they can do the same for you. With a lifelong love of sports and fitness, teaching felt inevitable.

After over a decade of practicing Yoga, Pilates, and Qigong, I became a certified Pilates instructor, coach, and trainer. This allowed me to combine my love for physical movement with my dedication to personal growth.

The Life That Made Me Sick, Then Strong

My journey hasn’t been without challenges. At 16, a serious car accident left me bedridden for weeks, followed by chronic back pain that lingered for years. By my late 20s, burnout from a high-pressure corporate career led to anxiety and depression. In my mid-40s, an illness left me bedridden once again, and I turned to holistic methods for healing.

Conventional treatments often fell short, but I found hope in practices like naturopathy, chinese medicine, yoga, and Pilates. These tools helped me rebuild my strength, alleviate my chronic pain, and reignite my passion for life. Pilates, in particular, was a turning point — it not only improved my physical health but also gave me the confidence to embrace a brighter future.

Hi, I’m the Real Sandra

Let’s keep it real: I’m not just a coach, trainer, or instructor—I’m also a mother, grandmother, and wife. My family includes a husband, two wonderful children, two beautiful grandkids, and my fur baby Mojo. I juggle my time between running a Pilates studio, managing my online business from home, and occasionally struggling with time management (just like everyone else!).

I’m passionate about helping women over 40 embrace their strength, find their joy, and live vibrant, empowered lives. I believe in thinking and living outside the box, breaking free from the constraints of stress, pain, and burnout.

What Sets Me Apart

What makes me different? I teach from the heart and live what I coach. I value sincerity, authenticity, and a good sense of humor. Think of me as your personal GPS for holistic health and well-being—here to guide you toward happiness, strength, and resilience.

Together, we’ll work on reconnecting with your true self, cultivating spiritual connection through nature, and embracing a vibrant, healthy life. I’m old-school and proud of it, believing that many people are disconnected from the essence of life and just need a little help finding their way back.

Let’s navigate this journey together—with laughter, strength, and a whole lot of heart!
