About Yliana

Hello! 

Glad you are here!

I am a Certified HOLOBODY Holistic Health Coach, Nutrition Coach, Weight Management Specialist, Fitness Yoga Instructor, Personal Trainer, Nervous System Regulation Trainer, DNA-Based Fitness Coach/Program Designer, RNA-Based Precision Gut Health Coach, Group Exercise Instructor, and Hypnotherapist.

My certifications are fully accredited through the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA), the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA), and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC.)

With a somewhat eclectic background, my journey as a health, fitness, and wellness professional may not be the “typical” one.

Starting with a lifelong love of dance, I completed 10 years of formal dance training in Ballet and Classical Spanish dance.  As a teenager, I obtained an apprenticeship in Flamenco dance, and a scholarship to study at the University of Granada, Spain.  Life, however, would take me in another direction, from motherhood to single parenthood, and a career in International Economics. 

After becoming an empty-nester, I found my way back to dance - and begun working as a Dance Fitness and Barre instructor, among other formats. I re-discovered myself, went through a health and fitness transformation, and reclaimed my well-being and self-esteem.

I have three adult children, two teenage grandchildren, and another grand-kid in elementary school. 

In addition to my Holistic Health, Nutrition, Fitness, and Wellness Certifications, I hold a B.A. in Economics and History from Old Dominion University in Virginia, and a Master's in International Business from the University of San Diego, California.
