My Story
Hi, I’m Sivan — strength coach, women’s health advocate, and mom of two under two.
I help busy women build strength, move pain-free, and feel confident in their bodies—without dieting, guilt, or extreme routines.
But let me back up.
My fitness journey started at 18 after overcoming an eating disorder. Strength training gave me back my power. It taught me what it feels like to take up space—not shrink into it. Since then, I’ve dedicated my life to helping other women experience that same transformation.
Now, as an (older) mom of two little ones under two, I understand more than ever what it means to be stretched thin. The chaos. The mental load. The “I have no time” moments. That’s why my approach is realistic, flexible, and built for your life—not in spite of it.
I don’t believe in all-or-nothing, and I don’t expect you to live in the gym. My mission is to help you train smarter, nourish your body without restriction, and build a foundation that lasts through every season of life—including motherhood.
Over the past 16 years, I’ve coached hundreds of women of all ages and stages. Whether you want to get stronger, reduce pain, lose fat, navigate pregnancy/postpartum, or simply feel like you again—I’m here for it. And I’m here for you.

Sivan
