Episode 2: From Communications and media graduate to lifestyle and wellness coach, a conversation with Claudia Amy Salador!

Our guest this week is Claudia Amy Salador, a qualified holistic lifestyle and wellness coach and personal trainer.  Claudia graduated from the University of Leeds in 2017 with a degree in Communications and Media, which initially led her to an office job in London.

With a growing passion for fitness and health, Claudia decided to take the plunge and pursue a qualification in this field as a side hustle. Fast forward five years, and Claudia now runs her own little studio in Essex and an online coaching app. She's a living example that doing what you love every day is the key to happiness and fulfillment. Despite taking an unconventional route, Claudia couldn't be prouder of where she is today!

In this episode, Claudia will share her inspiring journey, talk about the benefits of holistic wellness, and offer practical tips on how to make health and fitness a priority in your life. I hope you love this weeks episode!
