“I reached out to Azul because my brother has been working with her for a few years and really likes her program and training style. My strength was diminishing and that was really frustrating, I just didn’t know what exercises were best for my age or situation. Within a few weeks, I started feeling much stronger, my balance improved and my endurance was much better. Azul is genuine, honest, patient, respectful, and knowledgeable. I learn something new from her in every meeting and always feel that she works hard to design a program that will work best for me personally. I'm very thankful to have her in my corner and I would recommend anyone to her!”

“I first started training on my own at age 18, but now in my 50s, I had begun to have the occasional aches, pains and sometimes minor injuries that can come with age. Meanwhile, I had a very energetic, wrecking ball of a 5 year old son who needed his dad to help him attack the world 24-7. Training the same way I had in my 20s was clearly causing problems and I badly needed a new strategy but didn’t know how to get there. I had more or less given up on ever again being in the kind of shape and feeling like I had in my 20s and 30s. I thought this was just the way it was when you get older and nothing was really going to significantly change that reality. I was honestly shocked at how quickly Azul’s plan really did get me to the point where I felt as good as I did when I was much younger. In reality, I feel like my level of conditioning is even more well rounded than it has ever been. It was something that I really hadn't thought was possible given all the aches and pains and setbacks I had been having. What’s really unique about Azul is that she has a rare combination of knowledge on the physical, mental and nutrition aspects of being strong and healthy. And she puts it all together in just the perfect way. I consider myself lucky to be her client and can’t recommend her strongly enough. Oh, and she'll cheer you up when you're having a rough day and really feel like you're not up to training.”

“I started working with Azul in 2019 as a training client, and had such a good experience that when I wanted to move into the next phase of my health journey, I asked her if she would bring me on for health coaching for “nutrition”. Like a good coach, in our first session, Azul let me ramble on about all the things I wanted to accomplish with my eating habits and weight loss - and then she responded with one word that changed my perspective (and still does every time we meet): “why?”. This is what makes Azul such a GREAT coach. She listens, but always pushes you to understand the motivation behind your decisions to A) help you identify what your true goal is and B) help you understand your “why” so that you can stay motivated to reach those goals.

I’ve now been a health coach client for over a year, and have grown in so many different areas: what I thought would just be "nutrition", turned into learning about how to be kinder to and about my body, stress management and routine/habit building. Not only do I love getting to spend extra time with my favorite coach, but I always leave our HC sessions feeling inspired. My behaviors start to shift after each HC session, not only from the exercises Azul follows up with, but simply by having someone as motivational and thoughtful as her to work through things with during our sessions :) “

“I’ve had some not-so-great experiences working with coaches in the past, so I knew I needed to find a coach that could incorporate a more mindful approach to fitness, which is the main reason I was drawn to Azul’s work. I have been friends with Azul for many years but became familiar with her work on Instagram. I was lacking accountability and motivation to work out on a regular basis and I was looking for help in pushing myself further in my workouts. I sit all day for work and wanted to increase my health and fitness! Azul helped me incorporate mindfulness into my workouts; spanning beyond just physical benefits, and achieving mental benefits as well. Azul not only pushed me to achieve my highest potential and kept me accountable, but she also taught me how to be mindful of my movements and push past self-imposed limitations. She is an amazing person and an incredibly talented coach. She made me excited to workout again, and that is a huge accomplishment! She is the best and I’d definitely say if you’re looking for a coach, work with Azul!”

“I’m a digital nomad and traveler so I was looking for a way to workout while traveling, and Azul's sessions were a great fit for my busy schedule! Location-independent coaching was really important for me and so it was great to be able to work out from anywhere! Everyone should work with Azul! She's kind, and supportive, and does a great job creating workouts that will work for anyone. Not to mention you can work out from home -- or anywhere, really! -- as Azul can build a plan for any setting, any amount of equipment, and anybody. Highly recommend Azul to everyone! 5/5 experience!”

“Azul may have saved my professional track and field career. I was struggling with weight issues and developed an unhealthy relationship with food over the last 5 years. It wasn’t until I spoke with Azul that I realized how destructive my habits were to my training and health. She helped me develop healthy eating habits that have allowed me to maintain a healthy competitive weight as well as give me enough fuel for training. I feel better than I ever have. I couldn’t thank her enough.”

Health Coaching | Tyler (California)

“Azul is amazing! She really cares about hitting your goals and making sure you succeed. She will go the extra mile to make sure you are maximizing your workouts and eating properly too. All you really have to know is that Azul is great and you will get results.”

“Prior to working with Azul, I had no sense of direction for myself in regard to my physical health and relationship with food. I would seek information from unreliable sources, I vacillated between motivated and completely checked out, and I wasn't really sure what I wanted for myself. During the Covid lockdowns, I found myself barely moving my body and relying on take-out consistently. A friend of mine sent me Azul’s website and Instagram which ultimately led to me seeking her support and since then I’ve had multiple breakthroughs. For one, I have never worked out consistently in my life, and now for the last year and a half, I have worked out multiple times per week. I've begun thinking about and exploring different ways to move my body that I can actually enjoy. I've begun cooking for myself and paying attention to building balanced meals. I've begun eating breakfast and actually feeding myself through the day rather than wondering why I'm feeling famished and resorting to buying food that often left me feeling uncomfortable with my body and low on energy. I've begun to pay attention and make a note of my hunger cues, something I have never done before. I've begun shifting the language and my thoughts around building habits and working towards goals. I've decreased the amount of negative self-talk surrounding my body image. I've built strength and stamina. Overall I've also just genuinely enjoyed and found it useful to talk about and explore all the factors that impact our relationship with food and our relationship with our bodies. It has become clear through my time with Azul that our relationship with our bodies is at the core of everything we do and how we make choices every day. I'm about 1.5 years into this relationship and I feel I still have so much more to learn. I had never worked with a coach before so my concern was wondering if it would be worth it financially, but I can honestly say I’ve never regretted the money spent on our work together. I would say to someone thinking about hiring Azul to really think about how often their relationship with their body/food/movement shows up in their daily life because once you notice this you can understand why investing in a relationship with Azul is absolutely worth it.”

“Passionate, knowledgeable and understanding are the qualities you look for in someone you’d want helping you fight the good fight when it comes to health, your health. These are just a few qualities that help to describe Azul. Luckily for me, between those qualities and her dedication to helping me, she’s been able to teach me that by simply changing some of the foods that I eat I can improve my quality of life. It’s a life where unfortunately I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, but thanks to Azul I have been able to ease some of the chronic pain I am forced to suffer from daily.”

Health Coaching | Deidre (California)

“I started training with Azul when I was 3 months pregnant until the middle of my third trimester. She tailored my workouts to fit every stage of my pregnancy and comfort level. She not only helped me stay healthy and active through all the changes but also focused on breathing techniques and things that would prepare me for giving birth-- it was like I was training for a marathon! Most importantly, she still challenged me in a safe way and I learned that I can still be strong even when pregnant! I recovered very quickly from delivery, and I think our exercises helped a lot.”

Personal Training | Amanda (California)

“Training with Azul is a mind body soul experience. Her fitness programs have encouraged me to challenge myself both inside and outside of the gym. She is meticulous, caring and intuitive - all qualities that create and incredible fitness program and training experience. Azul is a purveyor of the newest exercises so her routines are never boring. Good money/time spent with her expertise and interest in my wellbeing!”
