Marlena Cunningham

Owner & Coach

I’m Marlena, your no-fluff health coach who’s done with wellness trends that feel like a full-time job and diets that require a PhD in kale. If you’re looking for someone to yell “JUST EAT THE SALAD” from the rooftops… keep scrolling. But if you want real talk, real progress, and real permission to enjoy pizza occasionally, welcome to your new favorite corner of the internet.

I get it—life is busy, messy, and full of distractions like Netflix binges, snacks that magically disappear, and naps that absolutely count as self-care (don’t @ me). I’m fueled by coffee, stubbornness, and the occasional dance party in my kitchen—because wellness should never be boring or serious all the time.

My approach? Practical, doable habits that fit your actual life (yes, even on days when sweatpants are the only pants that make sense). We’ll celebrate wins big and small, embrace the perfectly imperfect, and laugh at how wellness can sometimes feel like juggling flaming torches while riding a unicycle. Spoiler: wine is totally part of the plan.

Fun fact: I once tried to run an inflatable 5K… and discovered I’m really good at walking briskly while complaining. Also, I’m an amateur karaoke star—because if you can’t laugh at yourself, what’s the point?

So if you’re ready to stop stressing, start thriving, and finally find a health coach who gets that “balanced-ish” is a whole vibe, let’s chat.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower people to create sustainable health and wellness habits that fir their real lives- not perfect ones. We believe in realistic, inclusive support that honors your body, your pace, and your journey - because life is messy, and health should work with it, not against it.

Our Vision

A future where wellness is real, not rigid - and every person feels empowered to define it for themselves.

Our Core Values

Realism - We honor real life over ideal life. Wellness should work in your actual routine, not just a vision on a board.

Empowerment - We guide, not dictate. Our goal is to help you build confidence in your choices, not rely on someone else’s rules.

Progress Over Perfection - We celebrate small wins, messy middles, and imperfect starts. Because lasting change isn’t linear.

Authenticity - We keep it real - no filters, no fads, no pretending. Just honest guidance rooted in real life experience.

Inclusivity and Bio-individuality - Wellness is for every body, every background, every journey. We create a space where all are seen and supported and we recognize that no two bodies, lives, or needs are the same. What works for one person may not work for another - and that’s exactly how it should be!

Why Choose Us?

Because we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all wellness. We believe in your version of healthy - the one that fits your real life, your body, and your values.

We’re not here to sell quick fixes, shame you into change, nor do we expect perfection. We’re here to support you in building sustainable habits that feel good, not forced.

Our coaching is grounded in compassion, flexibility, and bio-individuality - because you deserve a wellness path that is empowering, inclusive, and actually works for you.

Real wellness leaves room for real life.
