Bella's Healthy Living

Annabelle Baldasari, CHC

Welcome! I’m Annabelle (Bella) Baldasari, wife, mom of 2, and Certified Health Coach. I am passionate about living healthfully, and I enjoy helping people achieve their health and wellness goals through education, motivation, and guidance in making positive and lasting lifestyle changes. I believe everyone has the ability to take control of their health. Your DNA is not your destiny! Let me show you how L.E.A.N. can help you be your best.

MY STORY: As opposed to being a chore, eating real food, staying active, and reducing stress can enrich your life and lead to a deeper connection with the world around you. Food has been a passion of mine for as far back as I can remember. My mother grew up in the Philippines, and has always been known for her delicious cooking. The smells and tastes of her cooking is one of my earliest childhood memories, and her example led me to work in restaurants while I was attending college. This developed my own deeper appreciation for transforming simple ingredients into a satisfying meal, and is something I still enjoy. I also love being active. Before having kids, I traveled around the world with my husband, hiking, kayaking, and enjoying the richness of the natural world we live in. Now that I’m juggling a family and a busy career, it’s easy to lose sight and feel overwhelmed, but staying active helps clear my mind and lets me focus on the things that are really important.

Before becoming a Certified Health Coach, I was a Corporate Finance Manager. During this time my most enjoyable moments were training and teaching my colleagues. In 2014, my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and later that same year, I had my first baby. I started learning more about being healthy, how to read food labels, and the importance of staying fit while nurturing a growing baby through pregnancy, birth and beyond. I had my second child in 2016, and had gained 55 lbs during that pregnancy! Losing the last 15 pounds after the baby was born was a huge struggle, but after asking for help from some of my Mommy friends, I was able to find the solution with the right lifestyle change through nutrition, a consistent exercise routine, stress management, and support from my family and friends. Eventually I felt more like myself again. I had been learning so much about health over the last few years, and I wanted to share it with others. In late 2017, I decided to leave my corporate job and become a Certified Health Coach, a career that combines my abilities and passions.

MY MISSION as a Certified Health and Wellness Coach is to inspire healthy living and to provide simple health solutions that help make the world a healthier and happier place. I partner with clients seeking self-directed, lasting changes, which promote health and wellness and, thereby, enhance well-being. I strive to display unconditional positive regard for my clients and a belief in their capacity for change, while honoring that each client is an expert on his or her life, and while facilitating an environment that is respectful and non-judgmental.
