“Coach Paula’s instruction sits at the intersection of grace and strength. When working with her, you are so focused on gracefully executing every single move that you don’t even realize you are building strength, not only physical strength but mental and emotional strength as well.”

Hi! My name is Paula and I’m a movement specialist who has spent decades exploring the art, mechanics, and transformative power of human motion. My obsession began during my college years when my mind and body were cracked open in the discovering of Flamenco dance and Yoga. This introduction ignited a lifelong passion for rhythm, expression, breath integration, and physical discipline.
Over the years, while navigating my journey as a single mother raising my two now adult sons and balancing leadership in my family’s long-standing retail business, I continuously devoured, refined, and taught various movement modalities.
I hold certifications in Steel Mace Vinyasa, Steel Mace Flow, Circular Strength Training with heavy Clubs, Clubbell Yoga, Flowfit, Russian Hardstyle Kettlebell training, and a 200-hour Yoga Alliance certification. I’m also actively training complementary flow arts which include the staff and the rope. Currently I’m developing my signature modality, MACE (Movement, Authority, Communion, Embodiment)—which merges martial arts disciplines with dynamic mace work.
My coaching is built on the principle that physical conditioning is a direct lever for deep mind-body connection and resilience. Grounded in movement mechanics and the restorative power of flow state, I guide my clients beyond linear fitness into dynamic physical intelligence. I help people discover true freedom of movement in their bodies, not only by building physical strength, but by cultivating unshakeable confidence through grace, coordination, and balance. By learning to down-regulate stress through intentional movement, you’ll build a grounded nervous system and an adaptable body capable of meeting life’s demands with poise and power.
At the heart of my work is an invitation to bring joy, curiosity, and exploration back into how you move. I teach people to love movement and look forward to it so that it becomes an opportunity rather than a chore, seamlessly weaving into daily habits. My goal is to shift your mindset so workouts are no longer just workouts, but a meaningful, lifelong practice.
I help my clients step past conventional limits, unlock flow state, and establish an unshakeable, rooted foundation.
