Ines
What started as a simple workout hobby turned into a 10-year journey in fitness, wellness, and helping people reconnect with their bodies.
She began as a BodyPump and RPM- cycling instructor, later expanding into personal training (ICPT NASM level 3 certified personal coach) and Lagree (level 2 certified) — and somewhere along the way, she fell in love with lifting, feeling strong, and watching others discover their own strength too.
Over time, her passion grew beyond physical training. Today, she takes an integrative approach to wellbeing, combining fitness with energy healing and sound therapy to support both the body and the nervous system.
