Who is Iva?
Nutrition Coach, Personal Trainer, Health Coach, Fitness Instructor, mom and wife
I'm so glad you are here!
I’m Iva, and I’m here to help you transform your health and wellness journey because
I’ve been on one myself. My passion for this field comes from a personal place.
During my teens and 20s, I struggled with depression and eating disorders. I felt trapped in sadness and insecurity, and the only thing I could control was what I ate. I kept my struggles hidden, pretending things were fine. Later, after working in corporate America for over a decade, I became a stay-at-home mom, and my depression deepened,
I knew I needed a better way to take control of my life.
It was during a move that I committed to exercise and began focusing on eating whole, nutritious foods, after that everything changed. I started to feel stronger, more confident, and genuinely happy. This transformation sparked a desire to help other women and busy moms experience the same growth and empowerment.
Over the years, I’ve worked as a Wellness Coach, Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, and Nutrition Coach in gyms, fitness studios, and even at a country club, where I developed the MuscleUp program—
a strength training plan dedicated to helping women achieve their fitness goals. I've also worked with tennis players, helping them boost their strength and enhance their movement.
Today, I’m here to support you, wherever
you are in your journey. I know the challenges you’re up against, and I know the empowerment that comes from taking control of your health. Let’s work together
to help you feel stronger, healthier, and truly confident.
