My name is Patricia and I am a Brazilian (born and raised) from Sao Paulo, Brazil. At the age of 22 I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in physical education from FMU and later went on to obtain my Master’s degree at the same University for Sports and Training. I have always been very interested in Pilates. After I finished my Master’s degree, I went on to pursue and become a Certified STOTT Pilates Instructor.
Soon after I finished with my STOTT Pilates certification, I had a great opportunity to work in the Middle-East. While there I was also blessed to work for the Bahrain Royal Family as a personal trainer. Working in Bahrain granted me the opportunity to learn and teach everything to do with physical fitness and inner peace. 🙏🏼 Along my journey in Bahrain I came to fall in love with CrossFit and had the grand opportunity to obtain my CrossFit Level 1 certification. I traveled to London, England and became a Certified CrossFit Level 1 instructor.
One more great thing to come from Bahrain was meeting my Husband. About a year after meeting him, I moved to the United States. I am now a navy wife and a proud mom of 2 little ones. 👧🏼👶🏻❤️ Being in the United States has also offered me many opportunities in the Fitness world. As I got older, I wanted to expand on my knowledge for Nutrition. So that is exactly what I did, I went back to school and obtained my Master’s Certifications in Sports Nutrition, Holistic Nutrition, Weight Management, and Nutrition Consultant from AFPA.
Hi, I’m Annie! I’m a Lebanese-Armenian-American born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I’m a wife and full time mom to two kids, ages 2 and 4. Before kids I worked out 5 days a week and counted macros religiously. Now I aim for 3-4 workouts a week mainly for my mental sanity and I eat intuitively. I’m a huge advocate of balance. Juggling the demands of motherhood while maintaining my own identity is so important to me. I struggle with it all the time – but I’m a constant work in progress!
Hi! My name is Alexa Murray and I’m 32 years old. I have two children that are the light of my life and their names are Maddox and Savannah. They are almost 4 and almost 3 and are 15 months apart. After having babies back to back, I know what it feels like to be in the thick of it. I know the hard work and dedication it entails to get your body back. I became a full time stay at home mom after I had my daughter and the pandemic finally created an outlet for me to do what I love most again. It enabled me to connect with all of you beautiful people and help you become the best and most balanced version of yourselves.
I have been a personal trainer for 10 years and I live to make women of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds and ages feel confident in their skin again. I truly believe that proper nutrition, exercise, and the right supplementation are the best preventative medicine. I’m so grateful to be an athlete for a company like Protea that truly cares about OVERALL health and well being.
