01About

Coaching rooted in real experience

I'm a holistic coach experienced in developing tailored training and nutrition solutions to help you achieve a thriving healthy lifestyle.

For the past 20 years, I've been an aerialist, a yoga teacher, a handstands practitioner, a gym rat, a vegetarian, a vegan (very very briefly), and a protein junkie.

I have been an entrepreneur for over 10 years. I founded my own company in Amsterdam leading group classes for kids and adults, workshops, and consulting for circus companies around Europe, USA, and Norway.

I recently co-founded my coaching app in Singapore where I run my personal trainer practice. I'm also a Milan Pole Dance Studio coach for group and private aerial, mobility, and conditioning classes.

Through my own trial and error and the experiences I collected from my students and clients, I learned to combine the best of the many disciplines, training methods, diets, and habits to optimize a healthy lifestyle that fits you and your unique routine.

I specialize in:

Strength and resistance training
Mobility and flexibility
Nutrition Coaching
Habit and Lifestyle Coaching

I work side by side with my clients making every decision together and learning to pivot and adapt as we progress towards our goals.

Ways we can work together

Do you want to make better food choices and all the internet information is overwhelming?

Do you want to start working out but you don't know where to start at the gym and you don't know what to do with all the equipment?

Do you want to move better, relieve back or neck everlasting pain, and feel free to move any way you want?

You came to the right place!

I want to understand YOU, I want to know what is important to you and what your goals are.

I want to show you that whatever the starting point is, you can feel and perform better.

Nutrition Coaching

Build better habits around food.

Learn what you need to eat to fuel properly for your activity level and life demands.

I help everyday clients improve their relationship with food, and understand the basics of wholesome nutrition to feel better from the inside out.

I coach athletes and individuals with specific goals for lifestyle and performance:

Calorie targets
Body recomposition
Macro planning
Meal prepping
Eating out and staying on track
Grocery list

Strength Training

Either you are new to training or you've been around for a bit but you do not see the results you want and you are ready to get serious, I have a solution for you ;)

I want to understand you to help you get where you want to be:

Do you want to get stronger?
Gain muscle?
Lose body fat and get leaner?
Test how heavy you can lift?
Get a simple routine to do every day and feel replenished.

No goal is too big or small and you can do anything you commit to do!

Mobility Coaching

If you are tired of that nagging lower back pain or you keep getting injured in the same spot over and over or you want to take your athletic performance to the next level, you need to start working on your mobility.

Mobility training combines different methods to improve your full ROM (range of motion) and your capacity to move through your full ROM with control and awareness.

Having proper mobility requires so much more than stretching, you will be training your flexibility together with the needed strength to support your muscles and joints.

Progress without injuries

Full disclosure, Marcela is a friend, but she’s still one of the strongest people I know and when it was time to get myself back in shape, I knew she was the one to hire. Her workout programs and availability were personally suited for both me and my wife without any special treatment and she has always been supportive and conducive to us achieving our goals with well-balanced routines and safety measures. Additionally, her communication and patience have been top-notch in the gym teaching us new training techniques, and understanding new equipment regularly while constantly checking in with us not only in the gym but even online as well.
Burke
I have made tremendous growth with Marcela’s guidance - growth I can measure because I have the data for it. Marcela shares her expertise in the best of ways. She knows where to start and how to build on. She’s supportive. But she pushes me, too. I look forward to our sessions together!
Heather
I have been on many different personal training and fitness routines over the past decade. I’ve had many experiences across various highly reputable gyms - from branded personal training studios, and highly commercialized fitness gyms to boutique set-ups. And I thought I had learned it all. But starting my training journey with Marcella a couple of months ago, opened up my horizon to what I understood about fitness, wellness, nutrition, health, and most importantly incorporating that as a core element of lifestyle, instead of fad trends. Marcela’s deep knowledge and experience of anatomy, mobility, and sports is way under-tapped, and I must say exceeds a lot that I have encountered with. Training sessions feel like peeling an onion; new session - new knowledge, busting myths, tips for cravings, sustainable routines and mindsets. Haven’t even mentioned the fact that her genuine and passionate nature makes each training a firm but fun one. I’ve invested tens of thousands of dollars into fitness regimes and PTs but hands on heart - the ROI of training with Marcella is immense and way beyond physical results! Marcela is a force of nature! 🔥

I was looking for a trainer for flexibility and weight training, who understands my body type and aerial art. It is not very easy. Marcela understands in-side-out with experience more than 10 years on aerial practice/show and body conditioning. Not only that, she always develops additional skills to enhance the aerialist's performance holistically. She spent time to know me: physically and mentally. The assessment was done with care. The personalized program was created to my needs. Safety was introduced at the first session and well explained. I saw my progress consistently without injuries. I highly recommend Marcela if you are looking for an effective customized program to improve and reach your fitness goal.
Asa
I've been training with Marcela for five months, both in person and online, and I’m really happy with the experience. The exercise programs she created were not only targeted and effective, but also balanced to be challenging yet achievable so that I can progress without feeling overwhelmed. Beyond physical goals, she has also helped me increase my body awareness and understand more about how my muscles work. This has been incredibly useful in enabling me to train independently outside our sessions.
