Executive Contributors at Brainz Magazine are handpicked and invited to contribute because of their knowledge and valuable insight within their area of expertise.

At Wholistic Fitness, its more than a workout, it’s a Body & Soul Transformation, where you transform your body, mind, spirit, emotions, fitness and nutrition. The first step is to reserve your Body & Soul Transformation Prescription is a Self-Growth Discovery Session, which helps you and I discover who you are on a Soul Level.

A Self-Growth Discovery Session includes the following:

  • 6 to 9 Card Reading – each card has 3 elements (color, number and affirmation), the color is associated to one of the seven Chakras. The number is associated with your personal energy year number according to Numerology and the collective and personal energy of Astrology. The affirmation helps raise your vibration and adds to your personal story and journey.

  • Astrology and Numerology insight based on the current energy

  • Clearing energy blocks from one Chakra

  • Calling in one new intention that helps release emotional weight and fall in love with yourself

Once the Self-Growth session is completed a Body & Soul Transformation Prescription Plan is created.


What’s included in a Prescription Plan (Group/Private):

  • 3 to 6 Month Commitment (Zoom, On-site, Home Visits)

  • Wholistic Personal Training – 2 to 4 days per week (Group sessions twice a week)

  • Chakra Balance Reiki Treatment – one on one treatments once a week

  • Weekly & Monthly Astrology and Numerology insight

  • Weekly & Monthly support meetings on Zoom

  • Seven Crystals related to releasing emotional weight

  • Essential Oils

During your Body & Soul Transformation you will experience:

  • Daily Chakra Alignment to helps clear energy that blocks your vision and intention for each workout

  • Chakra Balance Reiki Healing to help ground your energy and focus on your daily workout “why”

  • Daily Astrology and Numerology insight relating to that workout

  • Nutrition insight to Fuel and Feed your Soul – understanding “why” restricting calories doesn’t work when focusing on building lean muscles

  • Women Over 40, Weights Are Your Friend!

Below is the Body & Soul Transformation Prescription Plan Ratio for Women Over 30:

  • 60 to 70 percent weight training

  • 20 to 25 percent stretch , yoga or mobility training

  • 5 to 10 percent cardiovascular fitness

I do believe that cardiovascular fitness is important but definitely should not be the primary source of the workout.


Below are 3 of the many reasons women over 40 should lift weights:

  • Speeds up metabolism – weight lifting (CrossFit, Orange Theory, HIIT, Power Lifting, etc) is the only activity that speeds up the metabolism for up to 8 hours upon completion of workout, of course this is depending on the intensity of the workout.

  • More Energy – Fuel and Feed your body is required to help build lean muscle tissue and decrease body fat. When consuming calories (nutrients, vitamins, mineral and supplements) your body has more energy to perform at peak level for muscle gain. Restricting calories puts your body and rick of many health issues and actually decreasing lean muscle tissue and increasing body fat. From my point of view, it sabotages your results.

  • Improves confidence, self-esteem, leadership and create a healthier relationship with yourself, which helps you fall in love with yourself
