My Bio

I have a Tourism background and had the fortune to work in very fun, challenging, interesting jobs before moving here. In 1998 my husband and I moved from Bolivia to Nanaimo. We came with our brand new born baby girl and no family close by so it was very tough in the beginning. We had another baby girl on 2001. Both of our girls are a huge blessing to us and since family is so important to us, I was thankfull to be able to stay at home with them

I always liked to attend exercise classes wherever I could find them and tried a big variety of them.  Then, in 2014,  I heard about Bellyfit by accident and the possibility to train came with it and everything came into place to do it. So in June of 2014 I trained with Alice, the creator of Bellyfit and started teaching in September and I LOVE it! 
I am really gratefull that this is part of my life now.

Why Bellyfit:

Bellyfit is a unique blend of different styles including african, bollywood, bangra, belly dance moves, that combined with the short meditation at the beginning and the mat floor in the end, makes this is a complete mind, body and spirit workout..
