Wilmington

Angela once felt cursed by the trauma that led to the food allergies and 100 lb weight gain that culminated into a health crisis with debilitating migraines, insomnia, fatigue, low back pain, and full body skin rashes that literally made her want to jump out of her own body. She quickly learned that a health crisis often launches an identity crisis.In the mid 1990’s doctors told Angela her fate was sealed – destined to live with medications, doomed for low back surgery, and that the multitude of symptoms she experienced were all disconnected from one another. She didn’t buy it and decided to educate herself.Over the next couple decades, she explored many forms of yoga and fitness and earned multiple degrees: an M.S. in Holistic Nutrition; an M.Ed. in Education; a culinary degree in traditional French cooking; and a culinary certification in healthy, whole foods cooking for special dietary needs.Armed with real knowledge and accurate science, Angela not only lost 100 lbs., she got herself off almost all prescription medications, and avoided the “impending surgery.” In 2013 after 15 years of practicing yoga, Angela finally found the functional approach at Empowered that helped change her back injury patterns in the most substantial way.Angela is a certified Health and Nutrition Coach with the Integrative Institute for Nutrition (IIN), a certified E-RYT500 with Yoga Alliance, and a certified Personal Trainer with the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).For three decades, Angela has learned to blend current science and life experience so she can spark her own healing. Whether focused on movement, breath, nutrition, stress management, emotional healing - when you work with her you receive a truly personalized, holistic approach. Angela deeply understands what’s required for true transformation, sustainable change, and long-term health.Angela is available for:Empowered Yoga® ClassesBalanced Athlete® ClassesHealth and Nutrition Coaching Private Group InstructionPrivate TrainingCooking ClassesPublic Speaking
