Hi there, I'm Coach Mia! I have over 35 years of experience in the health and fitness industry, and I am a firm believer in the power of the mind-body connection. I suffered debilitating chronic pain for over five years in many areas of my body, mainly in my neck and lower back. After achieving a full recovery through brain retraining as detailed in Dr. John Sarno’s book, Healing Back Pain, I became passionate about helping others achieve similar results. This led me to learn Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Mental and Emotional release techniques, mindfulness, as well as the latest techniques developed by Dr. Howard Schubiner. Prior to moving to Long Island, NY, in 2002, I lived in the Middle East and Canada, and I’m a proud mother of 2. I am passionate about inspiring and empowering people to overcome their limitations and achieve the quality of life and the lifestyle they truly deserve.
I raise my cup to all those who have the strength to create change, the courage to follow their dreams, the grit to never surrender, and the faith to see beyond the doubt.
My coaching style
I use a holistic approach to coaching that includes the four bodies: Spiritual, Mental, Emotional and Physical. Equipped with Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques, I communicate with members at the subconscious level, empowering them to discover and overcome their deep programs that run in the background, impacting and sabotaging many aspects of their lives. Most importantly, I am driven by a passion to help, which is crowned by heightened empathy and compassion.

My Personal Story
Chronic pain was front and center in my life, and the critical factor in how I planned and spent my days. I was instructed by back surgeons and other health practitioners to stop running, cycling, and lifting weights - including my purse and my grocery bags - and to manage my pain with medication and injections. I was told that once the pain becomes unbearable, I would qualify for a spine surgery. They were wrong. The mind body approach allowed me to completely heal all my chronic pain. While I still have the same spine, today I live a full, active, and pain free life!
