I have spent most of my life helping people realize their human potential and become the greatest of all time versions of themselves. I am is a holistic fitness coach, specializing in optimal aging and a stress reduction expert (incorporating the 8-limbed yogic path, meditation, breathing techniques, and massage therapy). I am the Creative Energetic Orchestrator (CEO) of GAUYAFIT, LLC (my business and brand), a one woman-show dedicated to providing her clients and students with customized, transformative, lifestyle solutions to promote a high-quality life and health span.
My greatest influences in my life have been my mom (who died at the age of 32), Jack LaLanne who lived to 96 and introduced me to the world of fitness, and Rolf Gates (whom I trained with formally, marrying my love of yoga with my love of Buddhism).
I have an insatiable curiosity and desire to be a life-long student. I value always learning, growing, and evolving both personally and professionally (at the cutting edge of Mind/Body Medicine and Holistic Fitness), in order to serve my clients using practices and training modalities that are efficacious and complement the latest research findings. I combine ancient wisdom with modern science.

I am currently on a mission to help as many 60+ year old women âturn back their biological clocksâ and develop greater confidence, adaptability, and resilience. As they become more holistically fit, they enjoy living with vitality, joy and all of the freedom that comes with improving their holistic fitness as they move into their 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond.  They have âpep in their stepâ, heads held high and ready to take on their next adventure or take up a new passion project.
I'm delighted to offer both in-person and online one-on-one coaching, yoga classes, and intimate group coaching programs so you can look, feel, and love yourself fully and live your best life.
