Hello, I'm Annette, your wellness coach.
Former professional athlete
I’ve been an athlete my whole life. I started swimming at seven, picked up tennis a couple of years later, and by my teens, I was competing nationally in Colombia. At sixteen, I represented my country at the World Games in Canada and later earned a tennis scholarship to the University of South Carolina. Training with top athletes taught me the value of discipline, dedication, and resilience.
After years of being a tennis pro and studying yoga in New York, I believed I understood health. However, in my 30s, despite maintaining my ideal weight, I started experiencing frequent migraines and digestive issues. It was frustrating and humbling. I knew something deeper was going on. That’s when I turned to nutrition, whole-body mindfulness, and wellness. Through my studies in Integrative Nutrition and Naturopathy, I uncovered how hidden sugars and poor food structure were fueling my symptoms. With a new approach to real food, better balance, and daily consistency, I healed my digestion, eliminated my migraines, and found lasting energy.
This became the foundation of Activate Life. Today, I help clients feel lighter, stronger, and more confident by teaching the same system that changed my life. My goal is simple: to give you the tools, structure, and support to finally feel at home in your body and to make those results last.
My vision
My approach is supportive, warm, disciplined, and practical. We focus on real food, straightforward plans, and daily check-ins-no calorie counting or fad diets. Together, we'll master calming cravings, boosting your energy, and developing sustainable habits you can maintain long-term+ stay on your healthy weight?
Real Success Story
I am beyond grateful for Annette’s guidance.
Working with Annette has been one of the most impactful decisions I’ve ever made for my health. She didn’t just guide me—she inspired me in ways I didn’t even realize I needed. Her approach is thoughtful, supportive, and genuinely rooted in helping people build habits that last.
From day one, Annette made everything feel achievable. She broke things down into small, meaningful steps and helped me understand why each habit mattered. Because of her, I’ve created routines that feel natural, sustainable, and truly life-changing. I’m healthier, more confident, and more connected to my own well-being than I’ve ever been.
What stands out most is Annette’s heart. She listens. She encourages. She celebrates every win, big or small. I never felt alone in the process—she was right there cheering me on and helping me grow. I am deeply grateful for everything she has poured into my journey. If you’re looking for a coach who will change your habits, your mindset, and your life, Annette is the one.
