EXISTING CLIENTS?
“ I have been a client with Damali for almost 2 years now and I've been a part of both her fitness and her nutrition program. As a fitness and nutrition coach she is absolutely amazing!
She pushes you and challenges you to be your best self but she also recognizes and understands that life is filled with ups and downs so self love needs to be at the core of each person's journey. “

With an intersectional lens, Damali brings to the wellness space a unique blend of technical experience with her expertise in physical fitness and exercise.
