Testimonials

When I first met Angelica three years ago, I suffered from bad neck pain for six months. I had tried different options from chiropractic to physical therapy, medication, and nothing was helping me in the long run. After a few months of working with Angelica, my neck pain almost disappeared. She was very patient and caring in teaching me about my body, breath, and posture while working on strengthening specific muscles which resulted in my full recovery.

Since then, we’ve been working on improving the strength and flexibility of my whole body through pilates, yoga, barre, nutrition, Bemer therapy, and much, much more. I can honestly say that thanks to Angelica my overall health and wellness have greatly improved. She’s not only incredibly knowledgeable but a kind and compassionate person that really cares for her clients. Angelica spends generous time educating her clients and shares a lot more information than any other practitioner I’ve ever seen. I trust her recommendations. Her pilates studio has high-quality equipment, her protocols are science-based and safe. I enjoy a variety of her programs and her online apothecary with natural products. I see her every week now and I look forward to my 164th class with her.

For over a decade, I have been struggling with weight gain. Going early into menopause at the age of 43, it was much harder to keep the weight off due to my hormonal imbalances. At age 49, weight maintenance and jogging without knee pain became a mission impossible, so I looked for professionals who could help me with safe exercises and weight loss. Unsuccessful and frustrated, I turned to Angelica for help. I can not give enough praise to her professionalism, her knowledge, and her attention to detail. First, she taught me how to maintain a good posture while exercising. I learned the right stretches for my body, and later she introduced me to the Shape ReClaimed Program. Within the first month, not only did I manage to shed most of that stubborn weight, I even improved my sleep. Through the program, I also learned which foods make me bloated and which foods I am sensitive to. I felt better than I had in years, with more energy, and I did not crave sugars. Angelica was very supportive, understanding, and helpful in guiding me through some challenging moments. At the end of the program, I lost all excess weight, I learned how to manage my knee pain and modify my exercises accordingly. With her gentle, calm, and caring nature, Angelica was with me every step of my journey. Thank you so much!!

I’ve been working with Angelica for over 4 years now. She is an amazing nutrition counselor, personal trainer, and functional health coach. I had issues with my back and foot arch. I did yoga and pilates with her for more than a year and it was amazing. She helped me get rid of the inflammation and pain in my foot and back. Angelica creates a variety of pilates exercises on the Reformer, Cadillac, Exo-Chair, and uses other pilates tools and a Bemer medical device to reduce overall pain in the body.
Angelica is one of the most knowledgeable people regarding health and wellness I know. Earlier this year when I had gut problems she helped me to pick the best supplements, aloe juice and introduced me to functional nutrition, which helped my specific symptoms. I learned what to eat and what not to eat. She helped me to identify food intolerances and allergies. With her assistance, I did special labs that were much more affordable than the same tests with other doctors. Angelica saves me time and money, and I like her unique approach. Another great thing about her is that she supports everyone according to their bio-individuality, and each treatment is different than the other. I’ve referred many of my friends and co-workers to Angelica and we’re all happy with the outcome.

“Angelica is amazing! I initially started seeing her in order to help with core stability and muscle strength.  Her pilates and trigger ball therapy knowledge is incredible. She knows and understands how the body works and can change the day’s program to accommodate any issues I might have that day.  She is also able to help me with other health concerns by recommending additional lab tests and supplements. Her wellness services are comprehensive, with the latest information on alternative therapies and stress reduction.  Ordering through Wellevate and the access to functional doctors and labs are time and money-saving.  I am really grateful for all she is able to do to help me!  She is a wealth of knowledge — truly priceless!”

“I have been seeing Angelica for a couple of months now and our sessions always start with how things are going. She is excellent at ‘digging deep’ to find out what the root of the problem is. She gives attention to detail, is an excellent listener, and is very knowledgeable when explaining a holistic approach to chronic conditions. In each session, she spends quality time with me, is helpful, and is passionate about functional health coaching. Angelica never rushes me, which I greatly appreciate, as it shows she truly cares about me. I see her sometimes via Zoom or phone, but mostly in person. She is always welcoming, pleasant, easy to talk to, patient, and goes above and beyond. She practices what she preaches, and invests a lot of time in continuing education. To better support her clients she is willing to learn beyond her scope. Angelica is a creative person and values relationships. She has outstanding knowledge in nutrition, teas, herbs, and spices. Angelica is also a great cook, a great resource with the recipes, and sometimes I borrow books from her functional health library. In our sessions, she implements Stages of Change, and she started to teach me the Emphatic Communication Technique. Angelica is genuine, supportive and she helps me to achieve my goals. I always feel much better after our sessions. I’m so grateful that I have found her.”

Angelica is a dream to work with. I am always so grateful and appreciative of her efforts to support my health and wellness goals. Her knowledge and her kindness complement each other. No wonder people are drawn to work with her and take on her advice. When taking my first session I realized how resourceful and passionate she is about holistic and functional health. Angelica is a natural teacher who can simplify concepts like nobody else. Anyone who works with her will end up smarter, happier, and with improved health.

When we work holistically on mind, body, and spirit, it is a totally different experience and the results are more powerful, almost shocking. Finally, I understand what she meant when she told me that my body would benefit from a holistic approach. Angelica wears many hats, and it is beautiful how she combines different skills in each session and how she connects so many details in my health matrix. Best of all, I can talk to her about any health or well-being subject and I know I will receive transparent and valuable information.

I’ve never felt so positive about managing my chronic disease. It is hard to change diet and lifestyle, but I trust the process and know prevention is better than managing chronic disease. Working with Angelica was the best money I have ever spent out of my health plan, and the best investment in my health so far.

Thank you, Angelica, for supporting me in collaboration with my doctor to lower my medication. Also, thank you for guiding me and showing me simple ways to lose excess weight, and inspiring me to cook and eat more vegetables and fiber.

“Angelica is really committed to helping people. She is a non-judgmental person and makes you feel comfortable with the hard process of improving your health.

As a health coach, through a process of discovery, she gives you a lot of information to ponder and she guides you to new ways that can help with whatever issues you are trying to resolve. I love the fact that Angelica was so knowledgeable, warm, and helpful in guiding me to make the best choices for my life.

As a Pilates coach, she guides me patiently through every step of each exercise and explains how to do it, and why it is the best choice for me.

I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to better their lives.”

“After suffering a heart attack, getting three stents placed in my heart arteries, and being on nine prescription medications, I was also looking for a natural approach to maintain my angina and cardiovascular health. My life after the surgery changed significantly, and physical activity was not what it used to be. Still, I needed to get good blood flow to my heart with moderate exercises and lifestyle management. Five years post-surgery, I was not progressing where I was hoping to be, and slowly new health conditions have been added despite all regular appointments with my healthcare professionals. Surprisingly, my search for a good alternative was over after I had an initial consultation with Angelica. Mostly because I could discuss a different way to support blood flow to my heart which did not require changing my physical activities and it could be done from the convenience of my home.

I was impressed with Bemer therapy as a noninvasive option that can improve oxygenation in my blood by up to 30% and can improve microcirculation in my capillaries. In addition, Bemer stimulates vasomotion and nitric oxide production. I watched videos that Angelica shared to educate me about the science behind Bemer therapy. Besides Bemer, I had multiple discussions with her about my diet, exercise, sleep, and mind-body connection. This all resulted in more benefits for me than my doctor’s visits alone.

I like that Angelica can take me further in my health journey. Even though she was in the USA, she could support me, manage the time difference and health coach me in Australia. From the beginning, my wife would join me, and we had sessions together over the phone. Since my wife was cooking for us, it made more sense for her to talk to Angelica and help me to implement changes that I agreed to follow.”

“My life perspective and priorities dramatically changed over a year ago when my doctor scheduled a bladder biopsy and CT. I was scared and blessed at the same time. With the outstanding support from my family and friends, I felt calmer and knew if I get a second chance, I will need to look deeper inside my body to figure out why it was so off. It was not straightforward for me to understand it since I cook, enjoy gardening, and grow some of my own vegetables. Our meals are home prepared and my family has a good understanding of exercise and a healthy diet. Soon after talking to Angelica some ideas started to surface. I realized that for decades, poor digestion, mineral deficiencies, stress, constipation, and dysregulated sleep were bigger issues than I could ever imagine. My lack of sleep was having an impact on my hormone production, energy, weight gain, detoxing the body, and the way the immune system fights cancer. My both parents died early as a consequence of stomach and breast cancer, so my biopsy was a wake-up call. Right after my surgery, I visited a Chinese medicine doctor and added new herbs and supplements to my daily routine.

In my phone sessions and messages with Angelica, I can ask questions about gardening, good oils and food preparations, exercise, essential oils, or herbs that I am taking. We like to share recipes and we look together at other changes that may be beneficial for me to add or take away from my daily routine. She can help me to understand anatomy, how the body works, and how to coordinate diet and lifestyle to improve my sleep, maintain my weight, and hopefully enjoy many more healthy years with my husband, kids, and grandchildren.
Thank you Angelica for helping me to find a missing link to my health!”

“My problems started a few years ago with a sore heel and being physically inactive which over time resulted in weight gain. Finally, I visited my GP to take a blood test, and things weren’t good. Then, a year ago, it went from bad to worse. In March 2022 I turned to Angelica for help as I wasn’t happy with my GP’s approach to solving my issues.

Angelica introduced me to the Shape ReClaimed program to help with my weight gain, and I purchased Bemer to deal with my heel pain. From April 2022 to September 2022, I dropped from 123.8 kg to 106 kg and am still dropping. With the weight loss, I have improved my high blood pressure. My blood work was dramatically better after just 5 months. 11 parameters previously over the borderline dropped, and only 4 parameters need to be improved. I am still in the process under Angelica’s safe watch.

Through this program, I was able to exercise again and return back to cycling. She was there for me every step of the way, encouraging and supporting me when I needed it the most. I learned a lot about inflammation and how to maintain good food choices.

Don’t hesitate to contact Angelica. She is brilliant in her practical approach. She is calm, loving, and caring. No doubt, she’ll be there for you and will help you to be fully committed. Give her trust and she will help you. Her intuition and her programs totally work, no matter how complex the issue is.”
