Fitsique - Wellness & Performance

I thought I knew how to eat healthy before I became a coach, I even thought I was nailing the healthy eating 8 years into being a health coach, until food nearly killed me. Result? What we think we know is always evolving, especially when it comes to nutrition and especially nowadays.

If you care to know the impact the right nourishment can make for your health, the health of those you love and the world around us - lets talk.

COACHING: I’ll give it to you straight. Real talk. Life hacks. Tough love. I mean, you didn’t think you were just going to get a diet and training plan did you?

“The only limits you have, are the ones you believe” – Wayne Dwyer

Imagine leaving no stone un-turned, how much of a transformation that can make in your life. Finding the answers, learning what works best for you and how good it feels and seeing the seeds sow to life. That’s what you’re leaving on the table.

I once was where you are. Defeated, but determined. All it took was that first mentor to pull me out of the darkness towards the light and my life was changed forever.

SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS: It doesn’t matter how you prefer to learn, whether it’s podcasts, YouTube, BLOGs, Live or Offline events, or even Tik Tok, you can find me delivering content just about everywhere.

Check Fitsique and Coach Ria Mestiza on FB and Instagram for upcoming events and latest VLOGS.

If you think I’d be a great fit for your event, conference, or online show – just reach out. I’m not too hard to catch via email or one of the many social handles.

REMEDIAL THERAPY: Feeling stiff and stuck? That’s no joke. Once you learn how your body is supposed to feel and function, you’ll never settle for less again. They don’t call my strong little hands “Healing Hands” for kicks.

The only woman I knew as my grandmother has been teaching me how to fix people since I was a kid. My Remedial mentors are deceased, retired and/or semi retired. I love the old school tried and true techniques that get results. I’m all about maximizing time for the greatest result, the only factor I consider is your pain tolerance. No pain no gain, yes, but if you can’t relax through the pain, then the gain won’t come either.
