come as you are
Wherever you’re starting from — however long it’s been, however many times you’ve tried — there’s no version of you that isn’t welcome here.
I’m a NASM-certified online personal trainer and wellness coach. Not a guru with all the answers — just someone who’s been on the self-improvement path for a long time that wants to help other people that are ready to improve their lives.
My practice is grounded in up-to date scientific evidence, rooted in Filipino values like Bayanihan & Kapwa-Tao, and informed by a calling to help bring a more sustainable pathway to physical and mental well-being to more people.
breathe. move. nourish. rest.
we're on the same path
For over a decade of my life I was exactly who Diwa was built for. Confused, wanting to change, knowing I needed to, and not knowing where to begin while trying to navigate an ocean of information.
I ended up spinning my tires on well-meaning but ill-informed advice from peers, wasting years online in a space more interested in profit than solutions — dietary fads, contradictory advice, products that overpromised and underdelivered. I wasted years finding out what didn’t work.
I went through that so you don’t have. Building a healthier life isn’t as complicated as it seems.
It’s not easy, but it is simple — and slower than what the fitness industry wants to sell you. Wellness isn’t a destination you arrive at. It’s a daily practice.
Diwa offers an alternative to the typical fitness and wellness culture: A holistic total mind-body-spirit wellness practice, rooted in Filipino cultural values that emphasize our shared humanity, with exercise and nutritional information built on strong scientific evidence, clear & critical thinking, and a deep devotion to a compassion that is motivated by a calling to help others.
