The inspiration to found UltraFitHealth came out of my passion to empower individuals with the necessary tools to take charge of their health and easily incorporate optimal lifestyle habits into their daily routines.

Our Holistic Health Coaches support online clients through personalized nutrition plans and structured home fitness workouts.

We also specialize in Stress Management and Spiritual Development programs utilizing Kundalini Yoga, Primordial Sound Meditation and the wisdom science of Ayurveda.

Over the past 20 years, I have worked to improve the lives of a wide range of clients through nutrition and fitness counseling while simultaneously maintaining a personal athletic career. I have set course records and won both overall and age group in 5k, 10k, Half Marathon, Marathons and Triathlons. After professionally racing marathons as a sponsored athlete, I completed my first 50K ultra-marathon race and shortly after completed a 50 mile training run in the Sierra Nevadas on the Western States trail. This marked a turning point in my spiritual journey and I began dedicating my training time to practicing yoga and meditation with mantras and understanding the science and effectiveness behind Sound Healing. This led me to study Ayurveda with Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar and other board-certified doctors passionate about incorporating integrative medicine into their practice.

My studies led me to complete teaching certifications in Primordial Sound Meditation, Perfect Health/Ayurvedic Science and Hatha Yoga at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing, with a special passion for teaching MindBody medicine through the life science of Ayurveda. My 500hr Yoga Alliance Teachers Certification includes modalities of Ashtanga, Hatha & Kundalini Yoga.

Ayurveda, the Mother of all Healing Sciences, can practically help you find the best wellness practices for your unique Mind-Body type.

With Kundalini Yoga, the Yoga of Awareness, you can access dynamic tools for the purpose of both strengthening and healing the body, mind, and spirit. 

Providing access to a full spectrum of these powerful practices has became the underlying foundation of my work at UltraFit Health.

It is my essential commitment to continue to share these wisdom teachings to foster better health among our population and promote a more conscientious stewardship of this planet.

Melissa Akal gave personalized and practical guidance to understanding my health journey and finding the root cause of imbalances. From my first session with her, my physical and emotional health history was heard and understood and I received insight into the changes I needed to make to move forward in life and achieve optimal wellness.

Experiencing Prenatal Yoga and Prenatal Partner Yoga gives you the most effective, safe, and enjoyable ways to increase comfort during pregnancy and prepare for an empowered birth.

Breath awareness, partner support poses and specific massage techniques help strengthen and relax your body, and soothe your mind during pregnancy and in preparation for the birth process.

Learn valuable tools to ease labor and create a deeper connection between Mama, Partner and Baby in the Comfort of Your Home through our virtual sessions.

As a certified Birth & Postpartum Doula, I offer prenatal yoga preparation for birth, and assist both Mother & Partner with comfort measures for optimal body balance and labor progress using breathwork, movement positions, massage, rebozo techniques, and meditation.

Sessions also incorporate the “Spinning Babies” approach that assists the birthing person with awareness techniques to connect with the position of baby in the womb and understand how the tightness of ligaments and muscles connected to the pelvis may affect baby’s position. This deep personal connection to physiology aids in optimal labor progress, childbirth and postpartum recovery.
