Holistic Wellness & Sports Performance
About Coach Bella
As a former competitive soccer player, I’ve always been fascinated by the body’s resilience—its ability to adapt, heal, and transform. That curiosity sparked a lifelong journey into the connection between mind and body.
My path began as a young athlete playing on many teams, including Mamba FC under the Mamba Academy, an elite program shaped by Kobe Bryant’s vision to develop disciplined, well-rounded athletes. Guided by coaches who emphasized mindset, leadership, and daily habits as much as technical skill, I learned early on that true athletic success goes far beyond physical ability—it’s about caring for the whole person.
As I progressed to play collegiately and professionally overseas, I realized that long-term performance was more than just training harder. I faced inconsistency, injuries, and self-doubt. I struggled with confidence, which I now understand was deeply connected to self-worth and its alignment with physical training. This led me down many paths: studying natural health, energetic anatomy, fasciology, neuroplasticity, herbalism and plant medicine, meditation, prayer, and mindful movement. I sought mentors across both Eastern and Western practices, integrating what truly works. I learned that health is not a prescription made in a lab—the real medicine is within you; your daily thoughts, physical habits, emotional patterns, and connection with nature.
“The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind.” - Paracelsus
Through this journey, I began combing what truly works into my own daily life and integrating my own programs . I saw firsthand how much stronger, more focused, and balanced I became. Those practices formed the foundation of Alchemy Athlete, a mentorship and training program designed to develop the whole athlete.
But this work is not only for athletes—it’s for anyone seeking to reconnect with their inner strength, align with their true nature, and build routines that support long-term health and resilience.
In a world of quick fixes, I’ve found that the underlying roots of our struggles—mental, physical, or emotional—are rarely addressed. My goal is to get to the root. The art of alchemy is inner transformation, and when we do this work, everything around us begins to shift. Consistency, repetition, and discipline in any healthful practice encourage real change. Our goal is to shift patterns in our minds and bodies so that both our health and our experience of the world transform as well.
I know this journey firsthand. I spent a long time feeling “stuck,” trying herbs and natural remedies as quick fixes. They helped temporarily, but the stress and imbalance always returned. What I eventually realized is that these patterns take years to form and require time, patience, and holistic care to truly undo. Every angle matters—mind, body, and spirit—and when we tend to all of them, real transformation happens.
